Title: What you've all been waiting for. Post by: Boar Collector on February 24, 2010, 09:10:52 pm Michael finally sent me pics of his yote. She's getting big, he said she's about 10-11 months old and weighing about 35-45 pounds.
Very protective of him and currently getting bred to a big ole hound. Enjoy ;D (http://i711.photobucket.com/albums/ww116/blaine64/IMG_0083.jpg) (http://i711.photobucket.com/albums/ww116/blaine64/IMG_0084.jpg) (http://i711.photobucket.com/albums/ww116/blaine64/IMG_0085.jpg) Title: Re: What you've all been waiting for. Post by: BigAinaBuilt on February 24, 2010, 09:12:10 pm Interesting! Thanks for posting it up for us! Should be interesting to see how the pups come out.
Title: Re: What you've all been waiting for. Post by: Noah on February 24, 2010, 09:23:50 pm Good to see her! Does she have any handle at all?

Title: Re: What you've all been waiting for. Post by: sfboarbuster on February 24, 2010, 09:34:46 pm Better not take that one out in the woods, she is liable to get shot.
Pretty neat though. Title: Re: What you've all been waiting for. Post by: brw7979 on February 25, 2010, 12:05:55 am Thats awesome. I always wondered if you got them as a pup if they would make good pets.
Title: Re: What you've all been waiting for. Post by: BoggerCountyHogHunter on February 25, 2010, 01:06:30 am Man that is just awesome! I love that thing and wanted it bad when he caught it. Has it ever tried to bite and does it act shy?
Thanks, GIlbert Title: Re: What you've all been waiting for. Post by: Boar Collector on February 25, 2010, 08:57:52 am Good to see her! Does she have any handle at all? I don't think she's been out of her kennel but he said she's very protective of him. She won't let anyone around him. Man that is just awesome! I love that thing and wanted it bad when he caught it. Has it ever tried to bite and does it act shy? Thanks, GIlbert Like I said above she is only gentle towards him Title: Re: What you've all been waiting for.

Title: Re: What you've all been waiting for. Post by: elliscountyhog on February 25, 2010, 10:11:15 am He better put a BIG SHINEY collar on her. Guess it is out of the question if his other dogs Trash on Yotes?
Title: Re: What you've all been waiting for. Post by: leifbarnes on February 25, 2010, 10:47:42 am I have always too great interest in animal imprinting, especially wild animal imprinting. I saw the pictures when he got the pup and it was young. Between the natural wild animal tendencies and the imprinting that has occured my best guess would be that he will forever be the only one that will be able to be close to the dog.
Title: Re: What you've all been waiting for. Post by: matt_aggie04 on February 25, 2010, 11:35:56 am I think that is awesome!! I would be interested in seeing how she is towards other dogs? I could see old hound stud dog getting chewed up when you put him in there to breed her. I am also suprised she hasn't chewed her way out of that chainlink yet!!
Title: Re: What you've all been waiting for. Post by: hoghunterdfw on February 25, 2010, 11:38:45 am ACTUALLY.... we have been waiting for pics of it baying a hog! ;D who ever knows this guy should tell him to put it in the pen.. Im real curious as to whether it will bay or catch.
Title: Re: What you've all been waiting for. Post by: t.wilbanks on February 25, 2010, 11:55:05 am i wouldnt want it as a hog dog, tend to be too open mouthed!! :D ;D
Title: Re: What you've all been waiting for. Post by: Wmwendler on February 25, 2010, 11:58:58 am 100:1 odds its a shoat catcher. ;D

Title: Re: What you've all been waiting for. Post by: goose on February 25, 2010, 12:56:15 pm curios to see if nature vs. nurture is going to take over when he tries to breed her
Title: Re: What you've all been waiting for. Post by: leifbarnes on February 25, 2010, 01:20:23 pm curios to see if nature vs. nurture is going to take over when he tries to breed her I would say nuture since it has been raised with other domesticated dogs since it was very young. There are 2 sides though. People will argue that behavior is determined by genes and behavior is determined by environment. I lean more towards the environment or nuture, but again there are good points for both. Title: Re: What you've all been waiting for. Post by: goose on February 25, 2010, 01:22:24 pm yea leif your rite...but only time will tell...curios to see how it turns out tho

I could see old hound stud dog getting chewed up when you put him in there to breed her. I am also suprised she hasn't chewed her way out of that chainlink yet!! He said that when he put the hound in there with her the only problem he had was trying to keep her still. She never growled but just wouldn't let him mount. I'm also very surprised she hasn't got out yet. Title: Re: What you've all been waiting for.

Im real curious as to whether it will bay or catch. I think he just wants her to breed to. It would be neat if she bayed though. I don't think he cares to much, if you breed her to a hound they maybe pretty mouthy but I'm sure they'll bay everything. Title: Re: What you've all been waiting for. Post by: Bryant on February 25, 2010, 03:31:16 pm I don't think he cares to much, if you breed her to a hound they maybe pretty mouthy but I'm sure they'll bay everything. I would lay odds that they would be more inclined to catch than to bay, especially if the hound is catchy at all. I don't think a coyote would be near as interested in working stock as having dinner. Title: Re: What you've all been waiting for. Post by: tonyamm30 on February 25, 2010, 03:40:27 pm Why a hound? Im sure by nature she already has a nose... but then I can see alot of things from other breeds also. Might be pups you get stuck with...especially if they arem one owner dogs. Please post more pice in the future with the hound & pups! Thanks for the entresting post
Title: Re: What you've all been waiting for. Post by: cajunl on February 25, 2010, 04:00:13 pm I bet you the coyote nose would not be as cold as you would think. In the wild it would be pointless for a coyote to run a 10 hour track and waste its time and energy in something it would take a long time to catch. It would be easier and more effecient to walk by and to run the 10 minute old rabbit track or the neighbors cat. :)
My stepdad caught one just weaned as a pup and his was so wild no one could get close to it or handle it even him. This one does not seem like that. Pretty cool. Title: Re: What you've all been waiting for. Post by: jdt on February 25, 2010, 06:55:41 pm well, i hope the damn thing dont get out , run of , get hungry and eat somebodys kid .
Title: Re: What you've all been waiting for. Post by: Monteria on February 25, 2010, 07:03:43 pm 100:1 odds its a shoat catcher. ;D Waylon Now that aint no joke! Steve Title: Re: What you've all been waiting for. Post by: Boar Collector on February 25, 2010, 08:30:02 pm I told him he should breed it to a bulldog and get some catch dog pups lol
Title: Re: What you've all been waiting for. Post by: Dexter on February 25, 2010, 08:37:52 pm just think at nite when the yotes start yippin on those hound crosses
might be a pretty song Title: Re: What you've all been waiting for. Post by: Wmwendler on February 26, 2010, 09:00:38 am 100:1 odds its a shoat catcher. ;D Waylon Now that aint no joke! Steve Steve, According to legend.... did'nt Lacy dogs partialy originate from coyote and scent hound? Makes sence you know, because the stockman loves nothing more than a coyote. rolleyes. Shoot.... cross those pups with a grey hound and you got the ingredients for a full blown BLUE Lacy. I'd bet good money they will eat dead cows all day and catch shoats all night. OOPS...I mean pen cows all day and hunt hogs all night. Hehe....I don't believe it for one minute. Sorry don't want to hijack the post. Anyone every seen a nature show where a coyote smells a mouse under 2 foot of snow and digs it out for dinner. Now I'd say thats a pretty good nose but i've come to beleive Cold trailing does'nt have anything to do with weather or not the dog can smell the track it has everything to do with the fact that the dog has the instinct to follow it. I'n my opinion a hounds nose is not very much more sensitive than any other dog or coyote for that matter its the instincts that are different. Waylon Waylon Title: Re: What you've all been waiting for. Post by: TrueBlueLacys on February 26, 2010, 02:26:07 pm Wow, I can't believe she's still around either!
Waylon, when we talked to the granddaughter she said it was a pet wolf in the mix. But I agree with you, doesn't make a lot of sense, I'm not sure what it would add to a dog working range hogs. Though the description of this yote sounds a lot like Sadie, except for the part where she lets the hound live after it tried humping her ;) Title: Re: What you've all been waiting for. Post by: aladatrot on February 26, 2010, 03:00:16 pm I am keenly interested in how this whole project turns out. I can see positive and negative attributes that the crossing of these two may bring out. I'm pretty sure whatever you get will be gritty and a little open if not just wide open. I bet the pups will have a lot of drive though and as long as you can trash break them will be neat dogs.
I don't care what eithics come into play here, I think it is neat taking a step back from what man has created and going with what nature has done. I'm so glad he has decided to take on this risky little project. I'm with the others though that think she is better of a pet and a novelty than a hunting dog. There are plenty of reasons I can think of that risking her escape back into the wild would be no good for she or any human she came in contact with. Its a life long commitment, and I'm interested to see what becomes of it. There will be arguements on both sides, but I say kudos for trying. Cheers M |
