You either gotta catch them where u find them or run them till they quit. No in between...
Yes sir, yes sir brother! Thay sums it all up right there. I been on both sides of the ball loosey goosey and ruffy tuffy. On the loosey goosey type dogs everybody talks about getting the perfect baying dog not to loose not to ruff not to much pressure just right hold the hog O and big big bottom , the perfect dog. Well those dogs come around about once in a life time maybe two life times. So good luck. I like the ruffer type because of this i aint got Two life times to wait on the perfect baying dog. I like bark once twice now its me are you. Am gonna get ya Sure die trying. I can honestly say I have caught way way more hogs with these type dogs way more. All the ten mile races stop all the BS stops. Sure I sew up dogs and even lost a few over the years with these types. Yhe biggest mistake I ever made was knock some grit out of my dogs big big mistake that am just now getting fixed after three years of rebreeding! Just me.
TexasHogDogs you just made the point I been trying to make since I became a member on this site. I'm in this deal for the dogs, not the hogs. Yep the ultimate goal is to find and own them dogs of 2 lifetimes and the dedication to search out the bloodlines capable of producing them is what I'm all about. Some guys drift off to sleep and dream about a giant boar hog with 5 inch teeth, I drift off to dream about the hardest, most intense bay dog you ever heard, that strikes tracks no other dog can smell and will run a hog to the end of the world and stay bayed ALONE for a week. LOL Good luck with the big hogs guys.
