EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

Well my dogs are mean and are known to bite and protect!!

One night I had a knock at my door about 4:00 am it was a law officer he said could I come get my dogs they had a man bayed in my pond!! So I get up thinking oh no what have they done!! There was 3 dogs Rambo-Titty Baby -and Ike..Ike was just a pup at the time!! So I through on some close and head with the officer to the pond sure enough the man was swimming to each side of the pond and they would put him back in!!I called them off and the man was scared to death!! I was really worried about what had happened... I keep my gate locked at the front of my place so I was not sure what the guy was doing on my place!!Me and the officer helped him out of the pond!! Here is the profile of the guy so you can get the picture!! Ear rings both ears- three tatoos of tear drops under eyes-had a twitch to him ( Brain Fried) Race Hispanic!! This is his excuse not very smart  he said that a buddy told him to get out of his car and walk home so he was going to see if I had a phone to use to call someone to pick him up!! Dumb Butt how did you call 911 Oh he had a cell phone!! So the cop ran his name several warrents including agreveated robery with a deadly weapon!! They check his sell phone and the last person he called before calling 911 was his partner with the same record as him!! They arrested him and the next day I found a 22 pistol about a 100 ft from my house and it was loaded!! I guess he dropped when the dog got after him!!! I did not know what the tatoos under the eye ment the cop told me it ment he has taken a life!!Well he sure did'nt get to add another that night!!I petted the dogs and was sure proud!! Could it have been something honest yea but it is a gamble I will take!! I live on a large track of land with no nieghbors!!I do have guns but they stay locked in my gun safe and it would take me 30 minutes to open it!!I don't even own a pistol just some dang good yard dogs!!

My dogs have never offered to bite a kid EVER its like they no the difference!! But if you jerk my kid up real fast you better watch out!!!

One more My brother-inlaw got his place broke into so many times that the insurance company said they were going to drop him if it happened again and they recomend for him to put an alarm on his house so he did!3 weeks after he got the alarm his house got broke into again!I give him 2 cur pups and all that B.S. Stopeed it has been 3 years and his house has not been harmed sence!!

good deal...
It's comforting to know that those dogs on the outside are more than just
hunting dogs. My black lab went nuts a couple months ago. Had a total different
bark than her usual. When I looked out she was all bristled up having a mexican
standoff with a coyote about 10 yards from her!!! That was his last trip close
to the house ;D ;D

Great story cward!  And to add to it, I'm pretty sure you get one tear drop per kill (so I have heard)...and he had 3!!

I let my dogs out to run the other day and I was sittin in the shop and heard my 10 month old dogo pup sounding off a pretty mean bark (he has 3 different barks)...I went and looked and there was a guy I didn't know there, he had just got out of his truck and Tyson(dogo) was not gonna let him go anywhere!! I told the guy to get back in the truck and when he did I called Tyson off!, he is a real nice dog but he knows who he has seen before and who he hasn't!!

Barking and biting are 2 totally different things.

Good ol' Tyson sure seems like an awsome dog.  Love to hear you tell storys about him.  Makes me kind of Proud.  ;D

Chance,

   That does not sound to me like they were being aggressive... They were just trashing on a trespasser ;)

Mine bit not just bark!!!Ask the guy that was in the pond they pulled hide!!! I try to breed a whole lot of brain in my dogs!!! it is not an atack type bite it is an back up chuck bite!! I have been bite by several dogs and think it is pretty funy myself when a dog is protecting its place!!An atack type dog is not tolerated but a back up dogs is!!I have had dogs all my life and love playing with them and see what I can get away with!!

On my 15 birthday some friends of mine had a surprise party waitng on me they were going to whip me with a belt!! When them dogs heard what was going on  all my buddys got treed all I did was laugh!!!I have the same gentic as I had then and I don't see them whipping me today!!

Yes Sir Chris I do beleave they do trash on tresspassers!!! ;D

In college I got home from class one day and noticed my living room widow was broken and my rotty was in the backyard which was weird because I had left him in the house.  I go out back to whoop his butt and it looks like someone has stuck a hog in the yard because there is a lot of blood.  Great....he's cut himself on the glass when he jumped thru.  After checking him out I couldn't find a single scratch so I start looking around and notice someone popped a little hole in the upper half of the window and was able to push the lock half way open.  I called the cops and we determined someone had tried to break in, the dog went thru the window to attack the intruder, there must have been a wicked fight because there was blood on the house, on the fence, alll over the yard, and all the way down to the street.  The cops were sure the guy would pop up in some emergency room and they would pick him up. 

That is an awesome story.  Three years ago I gave my dad my old retired catahoula and within a week that dog bayed and cuaght two feral messcins.  One of them literally went up a tree to escape and wile my old man waited for the cops he gave him the old come to Jesus speech ;D. Seriously, he was preaching,  whether you call it aggression or protection I can live with that.

I'm a paramedic. I went on a call the other morning. Some guy had had a ruff night and passed out in his backyard. His boxer went over to the neighbors and brought them back to the owner, but wouldn't let them near him. She called us and the dog came out front with her and followed us back. When we tried to get close the dog stood on top of him and growled. He eventually woke up wondering what was going on and what all the commotion was. It wasn't my dog but I would have been proud of it if it had been.

I got robbed on Christmas day last year. I had the dogs with me at the inlaws. The dogs don't get to come for Christmas this year.

We are just about the only ones in our neighborhood who hasn't been broken into. I give all the credit to my dogs. Chance, you know what kind of people live around us (rough ones). All trouble. Our dogs give lots of warning barks. I don't think that they would actually bite someone unless they pushed one into a corner.

Bout 3 years ago I came home from work and Annie, my pit, and Angus, my A/B were in the front yard, and the front door wide open. I got the dogs in the house and looked around. Nothing stolen......Hmmmm...... A little later my neighbor across the street came over and said he saw a couple of Mexican kids open my front door, start to go in, and then come running out with my dogs on thier tails. I asked him why he didn't shut my door. He said,"Cause them dogs were on the porch and I was afraid to end up like them Mexican kids!" I still don't lock my front door.

Good story, smart dogs..

I doubt any of my dogs would do anything besides lick ya or maybe hump ya ;D

my dogs dont want anyone in the yard unless they know who it is and some times not even then. i only have one that i know will bite the other ones will make you think they will

i bet your glad your dogs did that mate...would hate to hear about someone on this site bein murdered mate congrast on your dogs for bein so brave

You better buy those dogs a steak dinner! They deserve it lol

Hey CWard I need one of your pups for protection and recreational puposes  ;D

"I'm pretty sure you get one tear drop per kill (so I have heard)...and he had 3!!"
I think you right.

I bet he had more than three tears on the other side from when your dogs bit him on the arse.  lol

Here is a similar story to cwards. I lived on a big ranch and we had a 6,000 sq ft barn where we kept tractors, hay equipment, tools, welders, etc. We also had a seperate horse barn with 10 horses and ran 500 cow/calf pairs. You could see the barns from the road (it was maybe 200 yards) but mostly open pasture between the barns & road.

I always kept my dogs penned during the day as I had help, feed/fertilizer salesmen, etc in and out. There was a cattle gap at the driveway with a gate you could close if needed.

After the work was done for the day and everyone left I would shut the gate and turn my old PJ dog loose. This was a yellow ringneck female that weighed about 70 lbs and was mean.....

Everyone around knew her. I could go to the cattle market with the 1 ton flatbed dually and leave her untied on the back of the flatbed all day and she wouldn't get off the truck.....but she wouldn't let anyone touch the truck either! She was serious too.

Anyway she ran loose at night (even though I used her on cows and hog hunted her some, she stayed around the house & barn at night). One night about 1 AM I heard her tear out of the yard running after something. She had caught one coyote that was killing chickens and had bayed a couple of hogs right in the yard over the years, so I figured I better go see. I got up and looked out the door and all I could see was a flashlight going wide open towards the road and could hear a person yelling. Then I heard a truck door slam and tires squealing as they took off. I went down and looked and they had parked behind some trees on the road and had cut my fence. Then they had gone to the barn loaded some tools on a new riding mower and were pushing it to the road to keep quiet.  There were (2) 2" x 6" boards in the road where they had planned on pushing the mower up in the truck I guess........

The mower was out in the pasture, the dog had blood on her muzzle, so I called the cops. They came out and looked at everything and said these guys were pros as there had been about 2 dozen cases of them stealing mowers/tools just in the past month in my county.

Well, they didn't get my stuff!! I like a dog that will do things  like that. I DON'T like a fear biter or goofy dog that you can't trust. I can hunt my dogs with anyone and they act fine. They are not going to walk up to you to be petted, but they aren't going to bite you either. They are mostly going to ignore you. But at my house, or in my truck they are very protective and will bite. But if you come to hunt and we are outside loading up gear and I turn a dog out of a pen its not going to bite you. They know you belong and we are going hunting. But if a stranger goes to the pens and lets a dog out most of my dogs would be all over the person.The dogs are just smart enough to know the difference.

And I have always said, give me a smart dog and you can teach it a lot of things.

Thats a good story Cracker C......sounds like your dog made a beleiver out of those "professional" thieves.

The two dogs I have now are soft compared to what I would consider a good guard dog but they are still Cur dogs and have thier moments ;D.  One day I got home from work about 7:30am, let my dogs out of thier kennels so they could lay in the yard and went to bed.   I was woke up about 9:30 by the dogs making a ruckus so I went out side and they had put the meter reader over my yard fence.  He was a new guy and did not know about my dogs and the dogs did not know him so they put him out of my yard lol.  Luckily he was a country boy and uderstood so no trouble ever came of it.  My dogs stay in my kennel when I am gone and they usually knock on the door and ask me to put them up because they are not out when I am not home.  Also any woman meter reader can come into my yard with no problems.  I guess that means and woman could rob my blind and my dogs would not do anything about it...lol. 

Here's a question for you and Cward...Those are good stories and really tell what a good curdog is all about when it comes to life outside of working and hunting.  Would yall mind if I Write them down and record it so maybe one day I can put something together about Cur dogs?

Waylon

Waylon, its okay by me. There sure aren't enough books about cur dogs out there. I have often thought about putting together a book about some of the dogs I have known and hunts I have been on, but its hard to do with trying to make a living, family, etc. Maybe I am just not that disciplined........

I can also tell you a story about the time that same dog broke a chain she was on and got IN the UPS truck with the driver...who was behind the expanded metal door that goes between the drivers compartment (where the dog was) and the back of the truck......and calling for SOMEBODY to get this dog that had ahold of the gate and was shaking it..........and him trying to hold it closed from the inside....... :o  I am sure it wasn't funny to him at the time but he was a black guy and our regular UPS driver and he was always saying one of my dogs would get loose one day and "eatn him up"..... he thought this was the day!

Here is a pic of that old dog. She was about 10 years old in this pic but you can see that look in her eye that says "don't mess with me".........
