Title: "Genetic collector.... art of dogs...." Post by: Noah on February 07, 2011, 09:38:57 pm I can feel myself being pulled into a world of "genetic collecting".... this "hog dog" thing is becoming more of an art form to me than a sport...
I'ts not just the destination... it's how you get there that make the experience whole for me... I remember seeing paintings of my grandfathers setters on point.... beautiful, square headed dogs... as much a trophy of the hunt as the birds themselves were....

I guess I've gotten to a point that I can recognize an animal now when I see it... an animal that is the product of a man's life... I've seen what single minded obsession can produce in animals... To see the end product, most people can not percieve the incredible effort that went into the improvement. "Bumping" along these ranches over here, these "examples" of an individual's "vision" occasionally pop up.... those with a keen eye recognize and pounce on these genetics and guard them respectfully...

I sure wish you lived closer so we could hunt together. We are on the exact same page. Title: Re: "Genetic collector.... art of dogs...."

The setters from thoses days were square headed for brain power but look at todays english/irish setters. They have that pin head look that does not allow for brains...

Post by: Noah on February 09, 2011, 07:58:45 pm The setters from thoses days were square headed for brain power but look at todays english/irish setters. They have that pin head look that does not allow for brains... I thought I was the only one that noticed that... Look at the black and white pictures of pointers, setters, sh!t, even hounds from 50 yrs ago... then look at what's out there today and tell me which one you'd rather have... Not sure how these genetics have been lost, but they have for the most part... And Reuben, it'd be my honor to raise and hunt one of your dogs. Just make sure it comes out built like that dark brindle dog in the back of the truck!!!! ;D You and I seem to be on the same page... You been able to hunt with Scott L's dogs lately? Title: Re: "Genetic collector.... art of dogs...." Post by: NechesBobcat on February 09, 2011, 11:22:46 pm I understand exactly what you're talking about. I love a good looking dog. So many people just don't understand. I've had half a dozen people ask me what kind of lab my BMC is and I've had TONS of people tell me they have a cur dog that couldn't be any further from a cur dog. There's alot of trash out there that needs to be culled.

Haven't had a chance to hunt with Scott. He is working quite a bit right now. My favorite time of the year to hunt is January thru the end of March and I am working 75 hrs a week until early March so I haven't been able to go. I am going to breed a black brindle mtn cur gyp to that male you are talking about. |
