EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

Ok we are going to try something a little different because I want to see how many folks will respond. Lets talk about dogs that stand out and that you will praise/brag about that are not owned by you personally. Any breed or job, working dogs are just that no matter their job (ie..cow dogs, hog dogs, bird dogs you get the idea).
State dogs name and owner at least, add breed or other info if desired. And I'll start.........

I have had the priveledge to hunt behind and with several great dogs, and the owners were'nt to bad either. Lets see there is Chris C. (circle c) and his dog Lizzy, as busy as he@@ dog that knew her job and did it. Mike B. (Mike) and his cat Tweety, she would grind and grind until it was figured out, no stone unturned. Justin H.(Wormy dog kennels) and his (well color not important ;D) named L.D., fast and covered ground quickly but wouldn't pass up nothing, better bring a tracker. And there is Alan (boarninja) with his (same color ;D) named Meangirl, young but awesome, grind it out and no quit, I think I like her so much because her and Lilly hunt great together and alot alike ;), And last but certainly not least is an old friend named Cole Hardy and his BMC named Bugs, he was one of those you will never forget or replace, hunted his but off and wouldn't stop until a hog was caught, found many hogs with him, and he was actually the dog that assisted in training my best two dogs.. Hats off to good ol' Bugs. Thats why I give the yella dogs a hard time ;D

Boy that i got my first dog from has a gyp named lootie.  she is a winding machine, finished as the come and hog crazy.  wont put anymore teethinto one than it takes to stop it.  Last time we went out me and another guy were in the back of the truck with her on the box, she started wimpering so we cut her loose.  She went over the roof down the windshield and off the hood.  While i was unclipping her the other boy was getting the garmin out of his pocket.  by the time it was turned on and picked up the collar she was 400yds out and moving.  Will stay with one all day long if you let her.

i have one. Make-em-squeal's Ben dog. He is as good a dog as i have ever been to the woods with. He recently got cut and most likely put out of business. I dont own a dog that would make a wart on his butt and i havent hunted with another dog that even comes close in a LONG time. As long as he is alive, i'd be proud to feed him.

Grant, dont get the big head we all know he is a good dog in spite of his owner not knowing come here from sick um!! (just kidding fruit loop!)

The best dog iv hunted behind found me my first hog stone owned by my friend great dog that alwayscould find a hog even in the toughest conditions and would come back right when u called him

I will Play,  My dad had a half plot half catahoula dog that he traded for a husqvarna chain saw.  It is by far the best dog I have ver seen.  He was the the real deal, do it by his self Nutt dog but my dad is from California, the dog died from a brain aneurysm.  Scott, AKA Real Dogs, has some bag ass dogs, and I would love to have his dog Scar, he is the real deal. His Catch dog Cager is the BOMB.  

Des, AKA Mr.HG. also has a full stack,  Lou Lou is all about hogs,  Dott is jamm up too.  Paris, well she has my heart ( the list goes on and on)  Big Worm and I hunted with Mr.HG and Real Dogs, we caught twelve in one day.  Boy of those guys  got it going on.  If you guys ain't met Jason you are missing out.  He has one of the best mustaches I have ever seen and gives one heck of hug.

Mr. Joe.  is a very VERY nice man. and he has some great dogs too.  Radar, I am at a loss for words.  heck Mr. Joe even let me ride his horse.  But he wouldn't let me give him a hug (must be the Marine in him) LOl.

Bigworm has a dog name Tiger that is the real deal.  She was solid, do it by her self dog,except she always took a hog head on.  she is 14-15 now and is my dads guard dog at the family farm. only thing she bays now is strangers and the Mail Man.  OK Ups Truck too.   >:D  

HOLLYWOOD !!!  enough said ;D

Well here it goes one of the best dogs I"ve hunted behind is a red  bmc named RED. Just as good of a dog that I have ever seen, if you put in the woods and there is some swine  in the area he is going to find them and stick with them as long as it takes. He is owned by my hunting partner Joe Foxworth.......  

Some of the dogs I hunted with many times that stand out in my memory are...

Mr.Mason... Daisy Blue and Miss

James Davis... Useless

Kevin Kirby... Pete

Herman Harris... The Blue-Eyed Gyp

Nice pic Waylon!

That big ol' houndy looking catahoula in the barrel, Deon, was a full brother to my old Blue dog... but a year and a half older.

I second D's sentiments! Ben is a nice dog and I would be proud to own him, and I tell you Muleman has a CD named Bigun that saved my butt on a big bad Boar once down on the trinity river! My hat is off to both dogs and two great guys!

Mr.Mason... Daisy Blue (Ol Blue) and Miss, Floyd was different but very impressive rig dog

James Davis... Useless & Rosie

T. Strange...Lucky

Mike Hilscher ... Lemon

Schooley....Wyatt

Danny Hill...Ben

My Husbands... old fat dog

There are a few of my friends dogs currently that will be up there, and few folks dogs I hear about that I sure would like to see in action.

I think after time goes by and the more dogs you see the better you remember the ones that sure stood out.

Southtexasdogger has a Redbone named Chuck that is just amazing!!!!!!!

Never seen a dog as good natured and honest as Chuck.
Chuck will give you 120% every hunt a believe ,will show you the bacon.

caddo county has two real good hood dogs ricko and red they work real well togeather

my friend Tom Clines Spiderman dog - not sure if he still gets hunted enough anymore but when he was on top of his game I have never seen a better more reliable dog in the woods.

Jason Barger's yellow dog general is the best dog ive ever hunted with. eddie palmer had a red hound looking curr that was rougher than sin and would hunt prettygood too. would have loved to had either one of these dogs.

A short list of the most recent dogs I've hunted with belonging to others that I would feed.
Dont worry guys. I aint gonna brag on em to much but I would sure feed them!

Double Deuce - A cur dog but a big game houndsmans wet dream!!!!!!!!!!  ;)

Lilly- a cat bitch that definitely restores my faith in registered cat dogs! lol Can find a hog with the best of them and go all day.

Big Gene -  cur and a war dog in every since of the word! An absolute machine of a hog dog! Cant wait to see this one hunt again.

Hank - just a good, honest, solid old brindle dog that's not the best at anything but dang good at doing it all! One of the most versatile hog dogs I have ever seen. Probably a mule in another life! lol.

Been waiting on you ninja! ;).. You know I did this post to turn the tables and see who on here would actually do the opposite instead of arguing and debating. Look at views to actual post, not good numbers. But to those that do reply, shows alot about your character and personality, its easy to debate and argue, anyone can do that, but it takes a special person and hunter to praise another and his dogs. Thanks everyone.

Aaron Pesak... Jag
Clay Pope... Jug

the two catch dogs that I have 100% confidence going in behind

Jason- Fifty-YBMC-his dog will sure enough hunt and not quit, always tends to find more hogs on the way back to the trailer than leaving it.

I have to throw in

Mike B. - Blue

he sure could get it done RIP

But I see good in all I could name each one and say something awesome about each one they all have there place and time they are all great in my eyes

Yeah old dirty D, lol.....He was a big old dog. I did not know that about your Blue dog being the same breeding.  I never saw your blue dog hunt but from what I under stand their hunting styles must have been completely diferent?

Waylon

So Ninja, who owns those dogs .....Double Duece  and Hank  ?

HA Ha!!!!


I sure as heck aint saying. ;)........................ :-X

Kelvin Clark has two dogs that are (IMO) the dogs that everyone wishes they could have. Dixie and his yellow dog, aka...the Old Man. These dogs will find a hog if they have to leave the county. Most of the time they will find hogs that other dogs run past. They have endless bottom and great handle. If they get off of their chian and bay a hog behind the house, they will still be baying it the next morning. Dixie and the Old Man are getting up there in age now and Tillman Thornton got a pup out of the them, her name is Angel and she looks just like her moma. She is going to be a great dog also.

bmankins grady dog

I would have to say

A Huskey.......Ugly

A Huskey........Meangirl....you thought i forgot didnt you

R Tomlinson.....Duke

T Angel...........Tootaloo

X2 on Duke!

I still think that ole'brindle one eyed 10 yr old fat ba$ta*d, is a great dog, duke couldnt touch him on a good day, I dont think there are many that can..Its all in the breeding!

Saw this post and wanted to bring it back to the top.

Best two dogs I've ever hunted with:

Magic- Rance Barnes owned him, but the dog died a few months back. One hell of a dog.

Paint- Jesse Paul's dog. Nuff said

Phillip's -  daisy,  she gets out and stay's out and finds'em

Blake's -  Jane,  she's a 40lb hog anchor seen her hang with the curr dogs over a mile one time when the bay broke.

Dennis Huber - Hank , and Jill,  some of the best pointers I've ever seen,,when hunted as a pair no quail can hide from them!   You can hunt behind these dog with first shot outfitters.

Chase - Nig,  Dang good strike dog!

Krystal (aka) uglydog - Lady,  she in my kennels now, but i can't take credit for her, she's past her prime but can still find a hog I wish I could of had her in her prime.

I'm only going to speak for dogs that I've hunted with enough to see the good and the bad...

Waldo- Danny Drinkard- cat

Jr. - Danny Drinkard - cat

Ellie Mae- Jeremy Marshall - plott

 Bob owens/David rigney- Bear
 Bob owens/David rigney- Sara
 Bob owens/David rigney- Dot
 Terry Wilcox- Poncho

I am with big ben on bear and sarah.  I never got to see dot hunt, but sho nuff go yonder, get bayed, and hold em.  Even if it takes you 13 hours to get to em.
Clues Cowboy, get ahead lead dog with the know how and when.

Harry Thurman-Ace,Walker, Deuce,Plott   Dale Deaton-Deuce,Catahoula    Magin's-Rooster,Plott...   

David Hise-Fats,Kemmer

Really like jay huttos redman dog and his dan dog both black and tan/bmc.  Zachw had a dang good up and coming cat named muzzy.  She was on her way to being great rip muzzy

Dont remember dogs name only hunted with him once, and thats all it took to tell Txhoghunter has some dang fine dogs.
And Adam Smoots dog Blue.

Thank u Danny I don't think he would qualify to be put on here but I appreciate it

X2 on lady she seems like a real go getter. I'm ready to go again with y'all

And Jimmy creed owns a cur x cat x plott named Fred. He is one bad dude. I can't count how many hogs he has found he is a fantastic dog with no quit.  And he's the dog that got mine hunting good.

Jesse Paul (Lionandboarhunter)- Jet.  His name describes how he hunts, runs a track, and chases down wild boar.  Straight business.  If any dog can keep up with this one I would pay damn good money to see it.

Yes sir... Jet get's it done. ;)

Buddy of mine had a great half redbone and half pit named levi he died this last year but he is not forgotten he found lots of hogs he could do it all.

Willy - Sampson bmc RIP  ole buddy
Charlie one horse - Yeller have no clue what he is other than hog dog

Thanks Barry. you hunted with Britany and Dman(he was the black one).

Ive seen a lot of decent, good, and a couple of great dogs.  One that really sticks out in my mind, and one that I would have loved to have owned was Kevin A's Lily.  Some dogs have more range or whatever, and may be better looking, but her handle and bottom was second to none. Her nose wasnt bad either  :o  Sure miss hunting with her.

Marshall Willy: Kemmer cur Bud!!

Eric Van Dorn: Roscoe, Blaster, Girlfriend an the late Parvo

Dane Dobraski: Brummie

BRIAN cates: Hawk

Byron Lennox: Clyde

Cole Savage: Tank

David Delasandri: Mabel

On this i think i have to Praise the Owner of the Dogs, because it seems every dog he has is just out of this world.

Johnny Lucas

Black; Blacky, Slick, Thef, Blue,

They can go all day long, and you dont see them untill they have a hog bayed or you stop them.
Better be ready for a long day if you go with him

Some dogs I will BRAG on Spencers Romo awsome bay dog can find em any where fast as all get out  number 2 Audies "M" great bay keeps a hog where she wants it faster than lightning and a strike em dog barks a bit scary lol and wyatts Biggin aint scared to do what it takes

lrhlrh89 has two of the best dogs I've ever hunted behind.
June cat find em anywhere anytime
Leo catxplott hunt every inch of a place and leave no pork to spoil

JSH
Sam Walker-dog will get gone and find the BACON like no other
Brody Pitt- CD if you were to go to war of any kind I would want Brody (watch him though cause he will pee on a leg if you go to sleep on him)

A man from Bridgeport named Jasper
Roscoe yella BMC- hunted behind this dog in a tournement one time he rolled out ran hogs all by himself for over a hour and a mile away when we got there he had 30 hogs bunched so tight you could not have dropped a penny through them all by himself!!!

X2 on Roscoe ive hunted with him alot and his brother Pistol you better be ready to hunt they will find hogs but it may be miles from where you started. I have a bitch due today with Roscoe pups. Charley Spurgeon's  dog (Sister) she is real nice to.

a guy named ray and his nephew bubba from white wright, ray had 2 dogs names ace and duce they were yella bob tailed dogs that hunted to no end. hunted one time in wolf city with them caught 6 hogs off the same mob in 2 hours on foot and covered lots of ground, catch dog would hit and they were rollen out!!!

I was thinking the same thing. Any dog that can stay close to Jet is doing well. But again, Jesse Paul has a truck full of outstanding dogs. I am always glad he as never told me " Bobby, how about next time just leave so and so at home".

And years ago on my first hog dogging adventure, I hunted with a boy that had an outstanding hood dog. I was always amazed how far she could wind a hog and never twitch til she did. I dont remember he name now.

Hog_Hunter_57 I couldn't agree more.  I was there on the hog the was the end of Levi. Won't ever forget it.  He was a dang good dog.  JR (catchdog)  still has a real good dog in He'll Do.  One of those dogs that is a pleasure to hunt with.
