EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

Gonna start this one off. I would like to see your very best Strike dogs. Don't care if you have been hunting 5 month or 50 years. Only post your #1's. These are the dogs that have impacted and set the standard for everything else to come that you run old or new. This thread is not for any certain type of breed, color, age, or preference. I wanna see your building block strike dogs. Also give a brief run down for each Dog posted.  No #2's please only lead strikes. Lets see all the can't buy em dogs... boys and girls!!!!   (Sorry for the blacked out face but gotta do it for the job)




My first two Yellers. Gyp on the left was a true old timey Thicket dog. Would do it all tree, bay and herd cattle. The young gyp on the right was my first true long range strike and made a hell of a woods hound.

This is a pair of litter mates I owned later on down the road out of the young gyp above. Both were sure enough but the gyp on left was sure a one in a thousand dog for me. They were a little banged up from a bad one in this pic

Same two as above but better pic

This was also a pair of litter mates from the mid 90's. I owned the one on the left and my cousin the one on right. They were both two of the best to date I have ever owned. I got mine killed at two years old and his was killed by hog at age nine. I had another pup out of my dog in this pic that later became another can't buy him dog named Trooper. I will try and post a pic of him when I find a good one.

Sorry bout all that mess guys but please bare with me.

Skunk -- Both dogs look really sharp man what was the dog on top out of?

This is Sadie, one of the 1st really good strike dogs we had back in the early 90's. This is a horrible picture of her at about 10 yrs. old, but its the only one Ive got. We got her from the late Richard Cuin from Corrigan TX. Richard had some real gritty dogs back then and his younger females were pretty rough on her, so she quit hunting for him and he thought she was done. He had some year old male pups out of her that were big stout chuckle headed dogs and my dad had been begging him for one. Finally he gave in and said we could have one if we took ole Sadie too, since she was good for nothing. He was WRONG, within a few weeks, she was finding hogs for us every hunt, and was hands down the best puppy trainer Ive ever seen. Seemed like she would come get a young dog that wanted to hang around and make him go with her. The only thing left from her bloodline is Cristina's dogs that are down from her Sadie dog which was this Sadie's grand daughter. She was a good old dog, we miss her alot                                                                                             (http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb469/brittgarcia/max.jpg)                                                                                       

I have not been doing this 2 long. but this is Lily she is the best i have. She can get it done in the woods or in the pen. she gets a little catchy some time but we dont have to many runners with her on the ground. and i would like to think Alan Kinn(hogzgonewild) for her (http://i862.photobucket.com/albums/ab189/DWKsABs/DSC00471.jpg)(http://i862.photobucket.com/albums/ab189/DWKsABs/DSC00221.jpg)

Here's the best two on my yard now, Tweety and her grandson Hunter. With Tweety being down most of this past year with pups, a blown ankle and now recovering from ankle surgery... Hunter has filled the #1 spot nicely.

Skunk

Thats quite a combo bet she was game. Never have ran across an irish wolfhound cross. Very interesting.

DragginWeight 

Didn't know you owned a glass eye. And thats sure enough a good lookin one to boot. LOL Sharp brother very Sharp.

Mike

Finally I get to see the Tweet. She definantly marked them pups of yours. Whats the story on ol blue. Don't remember you tellin me. But I have a terrible memory anyway. Also see you are still hunting the camo dog that I am willing to take off your hands and spray paint Yeller. I hate to admit it but seeing its your site I can probably get away with saying I like ol Hunter and he lives up to his name.

Thanks for the posts guys they are all fine lookin lead dogs. keep em comming   

That is a nice looking set of dogs in the first pick yellowmask. That ole gyp looks like a swamp collie. How is she bred?

This is Woodrow. He was really an outstanding dog.  He taught me the importance of a good tracking system.  This dog would leave the country when you turned him out.  Cold nosed and silent on track.  Before I owned a tracking system I lost him several times.  I had trouble keeping up with him with a tracking system.  I hunted him up until he was nine years old.  He was the best dog I have ever hunted with.  I will never forget this dog.  Grand babies out of this dog have made good dogs.  Coal, this is were Camo gets his color from.

This is Smoke.  The best dog I've ever raised.  Truly a go yonder kind of dog.  Very cold nosed and silent on track.  Has been a outstanding dog since he was 6 months old.


(http://i1113.photobucket.com/albums/k516/Yardbird2/Album%201/dogPhotos12-10002.jpg)

Both of these dogs were not for the weak hearted hog hunters.  There was no limit to how long they would run.  They hunted for themselves and I just tryed to keep up.   Many a hog fell to these two guys.  Pups out of these two I've used for cow dogs and hog dogs and they work.  Crosses from these two lines seem to be working.

This was the only pic of my #1 dog. The blue lep on the right (Kate) and the little red bull dog Rose was my best catch dog and the best natured dog i HAVE ever owned...Hey Yellow the black and tan (Banjo) and Rose was the daddy to your old red catch dog.....

Heres the hog

Man I wish I knew for sure. She was full YMBC saw couple of her litter mates. I bought her out of an old man's yard in bout 88. He was using her for a cow/hog dog. She ran loose on his place and had raised couple of good litters. Paid $100 for her back then that was a small fourtune seemed like. I used her and for bout 10 yrs smoked every critter that walked in these piney woods behind her. Coon, squirrel, hogs, cows. She was a true meat dog with the smarts to pull off of what you did not want her to run.

Not my dog but is owned by Andy Garcia, he is the dog we judge our dogs by, he is about 2 yrs, no dog aggression, about 50 # wet, drive, bottom, etc.  He was outstriking all our dogs at 1 yr.  He is out of David Thoms yard and his high % yellow jacket and WB.  Just found a female that hunts alot like him and she will be having  pups shortly.

mike... those are great looking dogs.... was just wondering what they were bred like


-mike

Thanks Mike. Tweety is a catahoula out of some old cow dog stock out near LaGrange,Tx.

Hunter has a little catahoula, brindle cur, bmc and a touch of plott in him. His mooma was a cat x brindle cur cross and his daddy was a 3/4 bmc x 1/4 plott.

We have two best dogs to date that are equally good but have very different styles of hunting. They both have a good nose and are long range but the red bmc is rough with an evil hatred for hogs with no stop until he gets what he is after then he will catch with the cd, and then the red brindle dog is loose baying and will find his own track and has a great handle and has just started to roll out after we get our hands on the hog this year. He is an older style dog. He has been known to bay a choat when he is by himself. We have had to make lots of phone calls to get permission to go get both of these dogs.  :D They have produced many hogs for us.

Red  He is 2 but has many battle scars

(http://i490.photobucket.com/albums/rr266/djhogdogging/thedogsplaying003.jpg)

Foot  He is 3 1/2 and although he has been on many, many hogs he doesn't really have any scars because he bays so loose

(http://i490.photobucket.com/albums/rr266/djhogdogging/thedogsplaying023.jpg)

Red is caught with the cd and Foot is the red brindle still baying.

I'm a rookie to the sport, and this is my first hog dog but she has proven to be the best dog I've ever owned. She might not meet the expectations of some of you but to me she is the best! She's nine months old this weekend and has already found me a few hogs. I'm sure in the years to come and as I start to grow my pack I'll run across some better hog dogs but as of now to me "She's the Best of the Best".

(http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n537/bwhisenhunt1/BMCDaisy.jpg)

This is Gator, a good strike dog that is gone but not forgotten. He found his 1st hog in Jan. of 1998 and didn't stop until he was around 10yrs old. He was a NALC Cat., and the best $50 investment we ever made. Gator was a christmas present for my dad, we didn't know he really wanted a blue leopard, oh well, too bad. He joked about him cramping his style because my dad hunted on a palamino horse, a bunch of yella cur dogs, a yella, ring necked AB catch dog and then there was Gator. He didn't mind as much when he started finding hogs on a regular basis. He also sired some real good pups. Wish I still had some of them.
(http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb469/brittgarcia/Gator2.jpg)

This is Skip, he was a son of Sadie (on page 1) and the first strike dog we ever had Sam. Skip didn't need any help to stop a bad hog or keep him bayed up. It took him a few years and alot of penicillan injections to figure out he needed to wait on the bulldog before catching. He was a little older than Gator and they were always competing for lead dog. They very seldom hunted together, which was a plus because between the 2, they covered some ground. It was always a toss up who would bay first. Skip also found hogs for us until he was over 10 yrs old.
(http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb469/brittgarcia/Skip.jpg)

These are the best I've ever owned

Tiger is still on my yard hard hunting little dog never quits countless hogs under his belt
(http://i1216.photobucket.com/albums/dd370/Hogdogadam/031911103152-1.jpg)
Buck was truly probably one of the best at finding a hog and holding bay in his younger days
(http://i1216.photobucket.com/albums/dd370/Hogdogadam/2exu8m0.jpg)
Jr was also one of a kind he found hogs when you thought none were around lost him about two months ago (on the far left caught)

Cricket great strike dog but all catch that is what claimed him very tough loss for me
(http://i1216.photobucket.com/albums/dd370/Hogdogadam/14kxwuu.jpg)

(http://i1016.photobucket.com/albums/af284/TuskHog/MLKhuntwithMarty004.jpg) I consider myself very fortunate to have these. I raised all 4 in this picture, still own 3 of them and the other I give to one of my hunting buddies as a pup. They are all straight BMC's. There's 3 generations represented there and all are very capable of finding their own pig. Pete is the black dog and is 6, Titus next to him is 2, Taz is 4, and last is Peaches she is 2 and a full sister to Titus.

This is Ole Trooper. He was out of my old lines from above and is what I am considering my last can't buy him dogs. He is old and grey faced in this picture but I promise don't let it fool you. I lost him this past winter. He had been on retirement and was lead stud around here. I let him loose around the house for a little R&R. Next thing I knew my hunting partner called me and said he picked him up fixing to cross a farm road about five miles from the house still on track. Guess he jumped him one last one. It was extremly cold that day and guess he was to bad out of shape. Found him in the pen dead later that night. There were three of these litter mates al together. I lost my other five years ago ran one so long he had a heart attack, found him dead in bottom of a creek. My good friend has the last one and is still hunting him and teachin all the young ones how its done.

(http://i1110.photobucket.com/albums/h450/YELLOWBLACKMASK/Trooper.jpg)

This is Buck. He was born with every hair on his body the same color which is rare. Also had the prettiest green eyes you ever saw as a pup and then they turned yellow. He was a top strike dog but had quite a few like him and a few that were better. Just don't have pictures. He was the sire of at least 4 generations and I bred him to his daughters and grandaughters who were related on both sides. The little boy is my right hand man who is my grandson. He was always trying to help me wash down the kennels and he wasted lots of water. :) He does everything for me so I am lucky to have him...

(http://i988.photobucket.com/albums/af5/cuell27393/BuckTim046.jpg)


Buck was 3/4 mtn cur and 1/4 taylor bred bmc. Pup in the background was Banjo#1 and he was hamstrung by a big boar in a corn field at 1 year of age. He was the son of buck and one of bucks daughters who was also his granddaughter named fly who was a top strike/stop dog.

Bucks sire was one of the best dogs I ever owned. I had  a few that were better than buck but very few that were close to bucks sire named yeller. I wrote a story in full cry magazine about yeller. Yeller was 1/2 mtn cur and 1/2 taylor bred bmc. Don't have a picture of yeller but still have the story.

Myles it was a hell of a loss when ol trooper died he was one of a kind I guess that's why half my kennel is out of him but as did rooter,kitty,molly,gunner,tader he to has now passed but are not forgotten thay among others did what thay loved and loved what thay did so here's to the next best of the best you got some big shoes to fill and I now just the guy to get you there hats off to u brother.

Im still upset that I didnt get invited to the grave side services for ol Trooper.  I had my own moment of silence for him.  If you were to name all of the dogs out of him that made lead strike dogs, the list would be long.  One of the best.

Man O Man, I did not expect this thread to blow up like it did. I have scrolled thru it multiple times so far just enjoying taking a look at all of yall's fine lookin Strike dogs. The best part about it is.. if everyone has followed the rules everydog on here is part of the elite few called "One in a thousand". My thanks to everyone on here so far its been absoulutly outstanding for everyone to show off their greats and to give the background on em. We can show our pretty dogs all day but these are the dogs that bring the pork everytime!!! Would love to know out of the dogs so far how much pork has been produced!!! LOL a post for another day!!    Keep em commin guys we aint done yet...

Myles

I've only been hunting for a little over a year, so I don't have a lot of experience to go on, but here is my best dog so far. Red was a stray last summer, still growing when he showed up so I figure he was about 8 or 10 months old. The neighbors corn fields were just ripening when he showed up and he bayed his first hog the first trip out in the corn and hasn't quit since. Almost every hog I have caught since he came along has been his doing. I've hunted with better dogs, but I don't own them. There have been few times that he didn't strike first. He hunts out to about 300 to 400 yd. but will wind or take a track and really get gone.(http://i836.photobucket.com/albums/zz282/levibarcus/oct2010hogdogs005.jpg)
He winded this one from about 500 yd. where he was rooting up my pasture and bayed him in a pool. I got wet that night!(http://i836.photobucket.com/albums/zz282/levibarcus/Oct2010hogdogs059.jpg)
I jumped this one in the road ditch on my way home from a dry run about a quarter mile from my house.(http://i836.photobucket.com/albums/zz282/levibarcus/P90Xpics012.jpg)
The first time I showed him a hog.

THis dog was passed through a couple tree hunters hands before i got her and tried her on hogs.  SHe has caught hogs in all kinds of places.  She has found and bayed hogs on her own in zero degree weather with ice and she has done the same down south in several states in the heat of the summer.  And she lives on the couch.  She has produced some nice dogs for us now also.

Man you must have been a professional photographer. :D That my friend is about the best jam up action pics I have seen. I sure enough like Ol Duece. He looks like he is the old man on the farm. I see the grey creepin on him and also noticed the trackin coller still fits. How is he bred and what is his age? Is the younger lookin yeller kin to him or same dog just younger pic? Great pics thanks for sharin

I'll play.

Best I've raised and owned to date was my BMC dog Abby.  She died two years ago in October from Blastomycosis at the age of four.  She had a nose like no dog I've owned.  She was a 100% track dog and could take a track and work it out like nothing I've seen.  The last year or so before she died I must admit I got a little cocky with her.  When hunting with people, I would never turn her out first.  Can't say the number of times I'd slip back to the buggy and cut her out once other dogs had made a round and come back and she'd come bayed somewhere.  I've wondered since if perhaps the man upstairs was teaching me a lesson in humility when he took her from me.  Man I miss this dog.

(http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee138/bdavis1476/Dogs/Boys0282.jpg)

Another one of the best was ole Spade.  He died early last year at the age of 14.  Almost hate to admit at one time I hunted a lacy, but he was 1/2 lacy and 1/2 plott if that makes it better.  God only knows how many hogs this dog found.  He could have been born without teeth, because he sure never used any on a hog but he knew just how to work one to make him stay put.  Seldom EVER did hogs run when we were hunting Spade.  It had been a long time since he had been hunted.  We decided to load him up last year and carried him along on a random hunt.  He didn't strike, and didn't get very far when the others were hunting but he made it to the bay and was in there hammering just like he had for many years.  He died in his kennel about a week later.

(http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee138/bdavis1476/Dogs/Dogs008.jpg)

Here's a few of the lead dogs currently occupying my kennel space.

First is Buck.  Quirky as all get-out but my personal favorite if for no other reason than he intrigues me because I still haven't quite figured him out.  Hunts deep like I require...usually 3/4 to a mile loops.  Not real catchy, and will seldom see him at a bay once the bulldogs get there.  Tons of bottom and will run a hog as long as it takes.  Buck has sired four litters and has shown to be quite a producer.

(http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee138/bdavis1476/IMG_3982.jpg)

Next is Cash.  He is unrelated to anything else on my yard and was bought to use as an outcross dog to my hunting partners line due to the fact he is a linebred proven producer.  A colder nose, and more bottom than most people want.  You don't make plans when you hunt Cash because you're going home on his terms...not yours.  In cold sign, he hunts much like Buck above...3/4 to a mile loops.  He knows the deal, and is strickly business about his hunting. His breeding goes all the way back to Ricky Driver's Big Boy X Blondie cross and other dogs in his pedigree are John Gay's Dr. Feelgood and Ben Jordan's Henry to name a few. (and no...he does not have a bobbed tail!)

(http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee138/bdavis1476/IMG_3978.jpg)

(http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee138/bdavis1476/IMG_3977.jpg)

Can't go without mentioning Dolly.  She's the mother, sister, grandmother or aunt to almost everything on my yard.  One HECK of a dog, and one HECK of a producer.  I had her bred to Cash above due to whelp mid-March, but for whatever reason (and much to my disappointment) she didn't take.

(http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee138/bdavis1476/IMG_3960.jpg)

A couple of others worth mentioning.
Maddison...full sister to Dolly and the mother to the pups I have on the ground now out of she and Buck.

(http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee138/bdavis1476/IMG_3984.jpg)

Deuce..Out of Dolly and Poncho...one of the best conformation dogs we've produced and making one heck of a good dog.  Another deep hunter and gets the job done.

(http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee138/bdavis1476/IMG_3979.jpg)

Awesome line up Bryant. Some real lookers and I haven't heard of many dogs that range out like that, you've got a gold mine in hog dogs! :)

x2 8)

That's an impressive pack Bryant, I hope to get out there and see them in action soon, I really like that Buck dog, thanks for sharing. 

x3!

If they come any better I ain't seen it yet.

Texashogdog,

Bryant, I like that Deuce dog!!! Love to hear more about him when you get the time!  (AND pictures of hogs he bayed up on his own!!!! )

Good lookin' dog brother  ;)

Bryant,

Hey brother figured you would show up on here eventually. You never told me you had some sure nough long distance Yellers you were hiding over there. They look good lot of leg and a big chuckle head to go with em. The buck dog reminds me alot of my old dog Trooper's litter mate with his conformation. Mike gave me the run down on those pups he has out of your old dog. Quite a nice pack I will have to say. Thanks for playin and sharing.

Texas

Are all three dogs still on your place, or are these spread out through several years. They look like they can bring home the bacon for sure. Thanks for sharing with us. Hope you get some pups out of em to make your next generation just as good.

The dog that set the standard at my house..
Oswald

Cj and War dog are back with my best friend were they came from but I have young dogs off both of them that are really making some dogs more breeding in the future for them.  Ole Blu will never leave here she has some offspring that are making some great dogs oldest two years old and one nearly my lead dog now and a younger sister that may out do her before its all said and done.  Old Blu has a half sister my Lil Ann dog which was my main dog for a long long time great great dog she now has some offspring that are making a lot of noise one of them my Horn dog that is pushing ole Blus daughter for the next lead dog  his daddy was a full blooded plott dog .  Got young dogs off all these old great gyps and are the real deal .  It takes forever to breed a line of dogs .  I have always been a great believer in breeding great gyps , you can find a stud anywere. jmo  Some background on these two old gyps Ole blue and Lil Ann came from Cole McVeays old Joe line of dogs both gyps are off of Joe matter of fact .  Cole's brother and I are long long time friends going years back Shane McVeay.  The C.O. dog is Lil Ann's Liter brother I think Cole bred those dogs somebody around Buffalo owned him and he got killed her a year are so ago.  Many of  you know Justin Bounds he hunted ole Blu for a while till Shane got her back and I traded for her.  Anyway Am sure yall know these guys.  Ive had these dogs now for about six seven years.  I also have a liter brother to Cole's Lanky dog that is my main stud dog .

Horn off my old Plott male x Lil Ann,  Will be finished this year, he has all ranges goes were the hogs are short med long dont matter.  Hog Crazy .

This is a gyp is a grandaughter of ole blu . Her daddy was Lil Ann's liter brother C.O. her mother was a daugter of ole Blu.  Great breeding in this gyp and she is gonna be a handfull before its all said and done. All these dogs are family bred type of dogs.

This is my best of the best strike dogs Jill, Bayed and treed a many of bear and hog. She was just a pleasure to hunt, paid $10.00 for her at a dog trade. A feller i knew was carrying her around in his hand, walked up to me, and says i got you a good bear dog pup, I say how much, just for conversation.. he says $40.00, I didnt want her at all, but i thought i would be funny and offered him $10.00, and he said give me your money, so I had to buy her. ;D
    Dad took up with her and kept her for a yard dog, till she got to chasing step moms cats, up a tree, trying to kill them ;D  I ended up getting her back and started hunting her. She ran track and treed first time i turned her loose, and never looked back.  R.I.P Jill

One of the many hogs we caught together.

Yellowblackmask,

Not too long ago you posted a picture of my nephew in one of your posts, now you have someone else I recognize in that last picture. Small world ;D .  Of course, it looks like an old picture, do you still hunt with Chris E.? Just wondering if he is still chasing pigs. He used to hunt quite a bit when I was in East Texas.

When I can get his lazy rear out of the house and away from his twenty kids. LOL  Me and Chris been friends since we were in short pants and have legged alot of pork together. He goes with us still from time to time but doesn't have any dogs anymore.

Tom,

How long ago were those Bear pics taken. Our bunch has been threatning to go run some Bear or Cats with a few dogs one of these days. Looks like it would be right up our alley, along with catfish noodling and cricket spitting. LOL  Jees how redneck are we???  Great pics thanks for sharing along with them packs of hounds.

Those are some old pics i dug up, had a couple people wanting to see pics of my old jill female. She might not have been the prettiest dog, but she made up for that with hunt.
     Runnin bear is fun if you got some private land. I havent been cat hunting yet but been wanting to for a long time.

  I dont know all about that noodlin, yall are braver than me ;D

Thanks, that was one of my better packs. I aint in to bear huntin near as much as i was, I was born a hog dog, not a bear dog, or maybe i just had some good training, IDK,  :D 8)  So I pretty much sold out and am starting from scratch.  "Cur dogs" rolleyes ;D   So maybe i will have a new best strike (cur) dog in a couple yrs.

This is my best dog so far in my 10 years of hog hunting. I bought her off of Glen Hesseltine. She stuck alot of hogs for us in the 2 1-2
years I have had her. She has absolutely no quit in her. You better be ready to hunt when you let her out.

Burton, thats a good looking gyp... Is she Plott or mtn cur cross?

Reuben, she is a full blood plott. I don't know any background info on her though.  I am waiting on her to come into heat and I am going to breed her to a Parker dog that is supposed to be just like her.

Burton

She looks like she can bring home the bacon for sure. Great pic and thanks for sharing.
