Title: Dog on Armadillos Post by: brandonb on June 23, 2011, 03:38:00 pm Took my new dogs out hunting yesterday and one of them brought in 2 armadillos. Guy I got them from said hes never had them trash. We never really went into any kind of spot where there was any hog sign at all. The guy we were hunting with caught a pig back there they other day but we never went back to that spot with the dogs. Thinking maybe she just got bored had dogs do it when they got bored before. Got onto her about it and she didnt bring anymore for the next 3 or 4 hours we had her out. What are yalls thoughts on this?
Title: Re: Dog on Armadillos Post by: Reuben on June 23, 2011, 03:40:58 pm I see it as a minor problem, running deer is a different story...

Never heard of such a thing. ;D Title: Re: Dog on Armadillos Post by: T-Bob Parker on June 23, 2011, 03:47:04 pm Shoot man she's just trying to earn her keep. If you put good dogs in piggy spots you'll get pigs next time.
Title: Re: Dog on Armadillos Post by: brandonb on June 23, 2011, 03:54:36 pm I appreciate the feedback. The guy we were hunting with is telling me that they are crap and that I should take them back, but other than that they worked hard and I was proud of them worked harder than the other dogs with us at least. Just gonna make sure to go where I know theres pigs next time so I can really see them work.
Title: Re: Dog on Armadillos Post by: Reuben on June 23, 2011, 03:55:31 pm Shoot man she's just trying to earn her keep. Besides, DILLO taste better than pork... ;) Title: Re: Dog on Armadillos Post by: halfbreed on June 23, 2011, 03:55:55 pm was you huntin at night ? i dont hunt hardly ever at night . and i have a few what i call minor and correctable problems when i go i.e. coon armadillo ect. if the dog hunts welll its a fixable problem with an e- collar . or breaking sent . givem a chance
Title: Re: Dog on Armadillos Post by: brandonb on June 23, 2011, 03:57:57 pm We hunted in the evening when she caught the dillos. Went to another spot last night and she worked hard just did not find any pigs but she never once brought me a dillo last night.
Title: Re: Dog on Armadillos Post by: firemedic on June 23, 2011, 04:01:55 pm Ahhhhhh don't grieve over it too much man,...one of my dogs hates them with a passion, the other couldn't care less about one,....it's not a big deal to me....they both hate hogs more. Give 'em a chance before you pass judgement on them.
Title: Re: Dog on Armadillos Post by: djhogdogger on June 23, 2011, 04:03:23 pm Be glad it was a dillo, our dogs like to start most hunts with a skunk. But they always come throught with some pork so we overlook a few skunks. ;D
Title: Re: Dog on Armadillos Post by: Bo Pugh on June 23, 2011, 05:31:05 pm yeah i have seen dogs get bored and put a dillo in a hole, and since their new dogs you do know they will get after something just need to put them on the right path
Title: Re: Dog on Armadillos Post by: brandonb on June 23, 2011, 06:41:54 pm Plan on taking them out possibly tonight and some this weekend. They both hunt hard so its just a matter of getting them on the pigs pretty sure she was just bored. Appreciate the feedback.
Title: Re: Dog on Armadillos Post by: ironheadknls21 on June 23, 2011, 10:27:49 pm Around here all the old timers call dillos "hoover hogs".....so if mine get on one i don't really consider it trashing... ;D ;D ;D
Title: Re: Dog on Armadillos Post by: bayed hard hog dogs on June 23, 2011, 10:40:56 pm Around here all the old timers call dillos "hoover hogs".....so if mine get on one i don't really consider it trashing... ;D ;D ;D That's what we call them to... it seems that hog dogs and dillos and skunks just go together give them dogs a shot it just happens sometimes. Title: Re: Dog on Armadillos Post by: jeskyn on June 24, 2011, 03:21:51 am Had an old-timer tell me that if a young dogs bays an armadillo that is not a problem. I personally wouldn't like it with an older or experianced dog though. And it could very well be cause it was just bored.
Title: Re: Dog on Armadillos Post by: BIG CHRIS on June 24, 2011, 09:26:27 am how old are these dogs? how much have they been hunted? just a cpl question to ask urself. i`ve said once and i`ll say it again, i would rather have a young dog hunt it`s arse off and trash a lil bit then a dog that does`nt hunt at all! i can always try and break one from trashing but u just cant make a dog hunt that does`nt have the heart to do it. if u like them feedem and huntem, and if the other fella does`nt like them let him hunt with his dogs and u hunt with yours.
Title: Re: Dog on Armadillos Post by: slckhunter1978 on June 24, 2011, 12:26:13 pm Man have u ever smelled a boar armadillo - kinda smells like a rank boar - nothing wrong with that every now and then! ;)
Title: Re: Dog on Armadillos Post by: waylon-N.E. OK on June 24, 2011, 12:36:52 pm every dog I own will bay or kill dillios if they find them, like it has been said before I think they must smell a lot a like and there way better than a deer race any day
Title: Re: Dog on Armadillos Post by: BIG CHRIS on June 24, 2011, 12:41:44 pm when u think about it a dillio a hog feed alotta alike and carry some of the same habits
Title: Re: Dog on Armadillos Post by: djhogdogger on June 24, 2011, 01:05:35 pm I have to say that yall can come up with some pretty good excuses for why a dog will trash on something. :D Im a realist, I think that any dog that has good prey drive will naturally go after other animals besides a hog but if it still produces hogs then so be it. ;D They can be trash broken but I would choose what to break them off of carefully. Like cattle and deer.

Just having hell finding any hogs these past 2 days hope to find some this weekend. :-\

Like cattle and deer. JMO AMEN...A dog knows the difference between a dillo and a hog... Another popular excuse, "too much scent on the ground". The reasons for too much scent on the ground and not finding a pig are several. 1. dog is not a real good strike dog 2. dog doesn't know how to straighten out a track 3. handler doesn't guide the dog correctly (young dog) 4. dog doesn't have a nose 5. dog just doesn't have it between the ears Title: Re: Dog on Armadillos Post by: waylon-N.E. OK on June 24, 2011, 01:24:25 pm I'll take a trashy dog any day, I can correct trash, but I can't correct no prey/hunt/work drive
Title: Re: Dog on Armadillos Post by: brandonb on June 25, 2011, 08:22:44 pm Well they did not trash any this weekend. Caught a 100 lb sow friday evening, and 150 lb boar saturday morning. Dogs worked good we were not in the woods 10 minutes when the got bayed both times. We also got on about a 200 to 250 lb sow but she got away from us and took the catch dog for a swim. All in all great weekend, and the are great dogs. ;D Pictures to come when I figure out how to upload them.
Title: Re: Dog on Armadillos Post by: skunkhounds on June 25, 2011, 09:01:25 pm trashing is expected out of started dogs but a going dog should only produce pork nothing else IMO
Title: Re: Dog on Armadillos Post by: ole shep on June 26, 2011, 05:27:04 pm Lack of preferred game is what causes most dogs to trash.My grand paw (Puz) had a dog(Blackie) that was used only for the Hull Hog. Me and brother and army shovel dug up all that made it home. Blackie rolled most with nose and got him some belly.
Title: Re: Dog on Armadillos Post by: Miller Lite on June 26, 2011, 05:29:36 pm Can't say that my cur dogs have ever bayed/ messed with a dillo but i've been known to ride around my lease with a bulldog an sic her on dillos lol gotta have a varmit dog ... she loves to fight them things straight armadillo dog trash broke off deer coons everything i'll let her go for 850 an promise she'll bring in the dillos >:D O0
Title: Re: Dog on Armadillos Post by: HDMdogs on June 26, 2011, 07:08:19 pm Happens to me sometimes as well...
( people tell me and ive come around to see it possible that an armadillo smells like a hog) so i dnt think theres any need to worry Title: Re: Dog on Armadillos Post by: S_J_KENNELS on June 26, 2011, 09:04:04 pm I was once told by an old hunter that had been running dogs after various game all his life that at some point or another a hog dog will get a dilla. He claimed that they smelled alike. I never minded it as long as they did not bay it.
Also like somebody said I had a lacy gyp that was hell on wheels as a strike dog, but she had to kill a skunk before she would hunt. Got so bad we would stop on the road to let her kill one before we got to the place we were going to hunt so she would start hunting right away lol. Every dog has their quirks, but as long as they make you happy and do what you want then why bother about what others think. Just my 2 cents lol. Title: Re: Dog on Armadillos Post by: derbettis on June 26, 2011, 09:22:51 pm my dogs are completely trash broke and in my opinion if they dont smell a dilo track they aint no hog dog i would have. dilos smell just like a hog eat same food source and make similar gruntin noise. the only thing u have to worry about is when it is in site not to bark or catch. Stay with it im sure ure dogs will be fine. good luck
Title: Re: Dog on Armadillos Post by: jtmitchell21 on July 02, 2011, 08:22:30 pm I appreciate the feedback.

And huntin dillos or anything else is ok long as they are huntin??? Lol I'm speechless, if it's a yr old or less I can allow them to trash a little and will put a stop to is pretty quick, but if I bought a dog that was a hog dog and it bayed armadillos I'd take it back even if I paid 10$ for it...if it did it once it'll likely do it again. I go huntin to catch hogs, anything else is just unacceptable, even if they are good hog dogs but just trash when their bored. I hope my opinion doesn't offend anyone I'm just shocked is all... When I'm huntin me and my dogs are strictly business and I figured more people took hog huntin more seriously than to excuse a trashy dog. Like I said it's just my opinion and I take owning good dogs seriously so please take no offense :)

Like I said it's just my opinion and I take owning good dogs seriously so please take no offense :) Im not offended at all. Everyone has different expectations for their dogs. We have a pretty high percentage when it comes to catching hogs. My dog go out hunting for hogs, thats what they are looking for but if they come across a varmit they are gonna get it. But I don't take hog hunting serious, Im just there to have fun and if my dogs trash on a skunk and then 10 minutes later they get a hog, Im still having fun. I am a type B personality, which basically means that I go with the flow and don't worry much about the details along the way. :) Title: Re: Dog on Armadillos Post by: ETHHunters on July 03, 2011, 11:18:35 am I'll take a trashy dog any day, I can correct trash, but I can't correct no prey/hunt/work drive I agree Waylon. As long as a young dog has the hunt im not going to get frustrated with a little trash. There's plenty of time to learn what they are supposed to be running.Title: Re: Dog on Armadillos Post by: Peachcreek on July 03, 2011, 11:20:24 am I dont want to drag anyone into this so i wont name names, but i went out last night with another member from the board and after about three hours of making a dry run one of my dogs started baying a dilla in a hole. Our whole group went to the bay and I moved a fallin tree and started helping them dig. we pulled it out for the kids to see and the kids thought it was neat. I hope this dont mean that i am trashy ;D

Title: Re: Dog on Armadillos Post by: djhogdogger on July 03, 2011, 11:27:55 am We had one dog on the ground the other night and a opposum crossed right in front of it and it started toward the opposum and James hollared at the dog to get out. Well the dog turned and started hunting again. James decided to kick the opposum out of the road, and when he did, the dog that was on the ground decided that if James hated that thing, he was going to help James out so he ran over to give james some backup and then started hunting again. LOL Sometime the dogs just want to help out. :D

Caught 4 hogs caught in a week and half and 2 that got away seems like pretty good numbers to me dogs working great now may have just needed to get used to me. :D
Title: Re: Dog on Armadillos Post by: dan on July 17, 2011, 07:15:54 am I don't correct for killing small animals on the ground. I correct for looking down holes, and looking up trees. I am a serious hog hunter and hunt for people that expect results, and killing armadillos isn't a problem.

I'm out there to catch swine not critters & whatever ;) Title: Re: Dog on Armadillos Post by: FLBayNSlay on July 17, 2011, 10:16:11 am I dont like a trashy dog either. >:( Walking 500 yards into what you thought was a bay but is really a dog trashing sucks. I usually dont trash break my dogs until they are about a year and hunting hard, Once they start hunting I show them right from wrong and what were hunting for. Ive seen real nice dogs that were completly trash broke at 8 mo old or a year but didnt hunt worth a flip and ranged a couple hundred yards. I guess what Im saying is give me the dog that is Go Yonder and WANTS to hunt, but may trash on a deer or kill a dillo once in awhile over a dog that ranges a few hundred yards and is completly trash broke. I believe if you do it the right way you can trash break most any dog on most any thing jus gotta put in the time JMO. Best gyp I ever owned would rig a dillo once in awhile, never killed it but would bail out bark a few times and come back. My lead dog now is completly trash broke and Ive noticed that when my pups are with him they never trash, they walked past a possum the other day looked at it and kept huntin ;D. Good luck with the trash breaking. SHOCK COLLARS are a GREAT investment
Matt Title: Re: Dog on Armadillos Post by: Reuben on July 17, 2011, 01:17:03 pm I have seen pups that tend to like hog naturally just like a bird dog pup that naturally likes a bird.
I also have seen pups that are totally broke off of off game because they are late starters are do not have any hunt in them. :) I will take a trashy pup any day and if it runs a deer for an hour on a dark moonless night all by itself thru thick and thin.... Well I'll take that trashy no good for nothing pup off your hands and dispose of it for you... ??? :) ;) I like a pup with a lot of natural hunt. Trashing is expected from one of these and breaking off of off games starts early but has to be done right and the pup must already be working hogs, and the pup must know that you want hogs before the breaking starts. Title: Re: Dog on Armadillos Post by: jtmitchell21 on July 17, 2011, 03:38:20 pm I have seen pups that tend to like hog naturally just like a bird dog pup that naturally likes a bird. \I also have seen pups that are totally broke off of off game because they are late starters are do not have any hunt in them. :) I will take a trashy pup any day and if it runs a deer for an hour on a dark moonless night all by itself thru thick and thin....

I usually dont trash break my dogs until they are about a year and hunting hard, Once they start hunting I show them right from wrong and what were hunting for. Ive seen real nice dogs that were completly trash broke at 8 mo old or a year but didnt hunt worth a flip and ranged a couple hundred yards. I guess what Im saying is give me the dog that is Go Yonder and WANTS to hunt, but may trash on a deer or kill a dillo once in awhile over a dog that ranges a few hundred yards and is completly trash broke. I believe if you do it the right way you can trash break most any dog on most any thing jus gotta put in the time JMO. Best gyp I ever owned would rig a dillo once in awhile, never killed it but would bail out bark a few times and come back. My lead dog now is completly trash broke and Ive noticed that when my pups are with him they never trash, they walked past a possum the other day looked at it and kept huntin ;D. Good luck with the trash breaking. SHOCK COLLARS are a GREAT investment I hunt small properties. I'll take the dogs that range a few hundred yards & are completely broke. ;D Matt Title: Re: Dog on Armadillos Post by: FLBayNSlay on July 17, 2011, 03:53:32 pm haha you and Gil would like my catchdog, he ranges from 100-300 yards is completly trash broke and catches by the ear ;)
