EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

Lots of folks enjoy different builds of Yeller dogs usually to adapt to their local terrain or personal hunting style. I like my dogs to have a semi or full block head longer nosed with deep chest , slim stream lined build and a good set of legs under them.  I wont get into the paint on a Yeller except to say they call em Yellow BLACKMOUTH curs. LOL.

 Some prefer the shorter blockier built bull dog type with short noses.  My prefrence is based mostly off of personal taste but also for traveling and covering ground and the longer nosed Yellers I have been around seem to have a colder trailing ability. If you have your own personal combination that pleases you what is your build a Yeller look and explain why that build attracts or just plain ole works for you.  Post the pic if you got your text book on the ground.  

Enjoy

NO CROWS IN THIS POST MIKE!!!!!!!! :D

Bigger is better for me. I ilke a little loose skin,helps reduce cuts and a lot nicer to sew/staple than a tighter skin dog.

Jimmy it sure is good to see a pic of them 2 dogs again, also good to see you on here.

As far as building the perfect yeller dog? I'll just keep a dozen really good ones that come in varied shapes and sizes, oh and all but one don't even have a black mask  ;D But I do like a big leggy male with a broad head if I'm being picky, I will however pass on looks for performance every time

half catahoula in em ;)

Red spotted with long hair and uh.....  OH I'm sorry I wasn't supposed to comment on the perfect color. 

Enoung leg to cover some ground.  I like a taller type dog.  Longer nose to help breath.  Stout rear end so they don't break down.  Wide chest, so the cut vest fits.

The red dog in picture looks good to me.

I like em like this

these are some of my yellers i have.

If I were to go with the BMC I would want the females about 50 pounds and the males between 55-60 pounds  with slick red (dark yellow ???) coats. Natural hard tight bodies and medium built with good leg under them for speed and agility, yet have that look of power and strength...kinda like a middle linebacker or an iron man athlete.

Medium head with good length of nose/head and good ear that breaks over even with the skull.

It cost the same to feed a good looking one as it does an ugly one so I will go with the one that makes me happy and proud assuming that hunting ability is about the same. However I will have to say the better looking one will hunt better because he is built right.

OH...his face can range from frosty white to black... :)

Hunting style... pup would start baying shoats at 10-12 weeks and trailing them in the pen.
At 4-5 months take him to the woods and he will make a big round and check in. He doesn't know why he did it but it made him happy and mother nature just calls...

He has a good cold nose to trail and the smarts to cut and slash and find the exit track to locate...not a bush beater that looks busy but a dog that makes finding hogs look easy.

He has enough grit and has the natural inclination to stop a hog and then back up and bay. When he locates a good track he opens with 3 barks to alert the handler and call the other dogs to him...then shuts up until the hog is bayed. A few barks here and there after the hog breaks bay is ok with me.

This dog hunts with me and ranges from 200 to 600 yards around and sometimes further if no hogs in the area. As long as we are moving the dog is busy hunting that circle around me. This dog will do its best to put a hog at the other end of the tracks...

I like for the pup to be born with a long tail but bob it to 5-6 inches when full grown. This way he can be confused with a mtn cur... ;)

WHERE CAN I FIND ONE OF THESE DOGS??? ??? ;D :)

yes they must be yellow for me but I want a dog built for the job my strike dogs need to be built for speed and agility and my stopping power big and blocky for power and a few inbetween wouldnt hurt either  ;)

(http://tapatalk.com/mu/a6cd0ccc-8d31-3a44.jpg)

IMO this dog has the perfect build for me...I wish I could get my blood tracking dogs to this size. 50 lbs, long legs, deep chest. Has endurance from he'll and just flat out gets the job done!  I'll spray paint his muzzle next time :)

Forget it Miller..I have been trying to swindle that Yeller male off Monte for awhile. Lol. And he does look that good in reality as well. You know my number Monte when he is ready to pick up and nothing has changed I am still a broke mofo.  ^-^ :laugh:

Lol i wouldn't either ... How does it hunt ?

Steven

Thanks for understanding on convo. If you have more pics if your brood dogs would like to see them posted with their individual breakdown for each.

Miller

Will have to let Monte respond to your last question.

Maverick

Without a doubt bro them Yellers are stacked to my liking.

Alright I'll play along  ;)

Sooooo. Waylon how long ya had this dog and can you give some back round on him?  :o  rolleyes

I agree with Myles...that is one fine looking dog you got there Waylon...

ole weatherford ben

I thought it was a duplicate of W. Ben...

really

yep, really... they wore out those pics and stories about w. ben in the full cry magazine for quite a few years back in the 80's and 90's... :)even now. FBMC association seems like it built around this dog. I tried a few of his grandpups.

I know exactly what your sayin bud,I feel the same way

Where can I find one of these dogs.

My opinion is get with your local Yeller guys that actually hunt their dogs not just hang a gyp every time she is in just to make a buck. JMO

x2... :)

This was my Deuce dog that I lost a couple months back.  In my eyes, he had near perfect phenotype as for what I desire in my dogs.  One of the best conformation dogs we've produced.

This was a dog I owned for a while, as far as build and head shape this is what I like

If he was spray painted black he'd be a looker ;D

Is that tank dog an intelligent acting dog. Question being more so than his peers?

Tank is a very intellegent dog.  We have many dogs but only three black mouths and all three of them are our top hunting dogs.

My Blade dog on the right and maverick10's Indio on the left.

(http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc3/3britts/Hogdog/BladenIndio2.jpg)

There are a couple things I wish I could change about Blades ways, but as far as overall build, structure and coloring, he is it.

Indio is a close second, but he is just a tad keener built. Not knocking him at all, just making an observation.

YELLOWBLACKMASK  :D Yep that was WB just thought I'd see what you thought about him, poor thing didn't even have a black mask so you know he was worthless  ;D  and this was titled " Build your perfect Yeller dog! " not show us the best yeller dog YOU ever owned. WB was a good looking dog even with out the anointed mask

Really if you can look up a picture of Craig Loftins Earl, Sally or Jenny that's how I like mine and what I want to keep and produce. Big leggy red colored BMC " Hood " dogs with a ton of hunt and winding fools.

To me they are ideal and the reason I quit the catahoula dogs and got on the winning side, here is a link to show them.

Waylon

Yea I don't tell everybody cause its like having a third nipple, but few of mine throw them pale faces.  Strikdog kennel has an outcross male that looks just like that WB dog. I will have to give him credit when he breaks him out of moth balls I don't have anything still living that can hang with him. Without a doubt I figure the WB was a goodun but I am still making up my own mind about the line to see if they fit my personal tastes.  But they are Perty I will give em that up front for the most part.

Bobby

I will say that pick with Mavricks dog is a wall hanger. The Perty yellers I mean. LOL

DoubleR

The reason I asked the question is that the pic of tank dog reminded me of an old wives tale I have heard multiple times. The old timers always told me to watch for the dogs with a pot knot on the rear of the skull. The tale goes it is a sign of higher intelligence.  I don't believe in witchcraft but its kinda crazy I have confirmed it to always be accurate. LOL unless I am the one that put the pot knot there manually. HEHE

Great pics to all that have posted. Keep em conning. We gotta beat the colored dog post that's kickin now.

Myles this is that puppy with a knot on his head i guess will c if that old wives tale z true!(http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa335/northcedarcreekranch/july%2020/IMAG0037.jpg)

They all look good  8)  I like a dog that will wind , trail &  has more bite then bark. It works good for me in the terrain I hunt.

Yes. Sir

If. He had a pair of glasses on he looks like he could teach class. LOL

I sure hope his leg heals for you bud cause I am looking forward to seeing that lil dude in the woods.

This z Bell, she is tall and lanky like me maybe thats why i like em built that way.   She resembles her momma June, but shes not as moody as her.(http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa335/northcedarcreekranch/july%2020/IMAG0019.jpg)

Her mamma is a true ice cold killa. Dont even make eye contact ..she will steal your soul.

When are you gonna get lil girl bred back into the family?  She has lived in sin long enough with the brindles.  :laugh:

YEP SURE. Not a drop in 23 years. Its just the ok sun bleached yours out. Need to keep em in the shade more. Lol

They look like twins coal! ;)

real nice looking dogs...built nicely...

X2

Bryant sorry bud ya snuck bug boy in on me. Yes sir he was built like a rambling freight train.  Very athleticly built. I am very sorry you lost him man. Were you able to get any pups or straws on ice off him?

Monte

Here ya go bigun this is a current picture of Lil Shamus aka (Hellbitch) . She looks like she is wore out because she truly is a crack head. Never stops.,  :laugh:

miles she sure looks purdy.kinda looks like her mom hope she makes you a dog. thanks for the pic

Everybody has been throwing some excellent looking Yellers up. Nice range of tastes. Enjoy looking at each and everyones Yeller dogs.

great topic and conversation but its hard for me to give my 2 cents because i dont have a sit in stone build in mind and i only have 1 yellar gyp lol i guess a dog that gets it done is my ideal dog

I'm not a real big fan of a large frame dog, or one that looks and catches like a half pit. But one the other hand, I'm not crazy about a slender headed, long nosed yellow dog either...I like them somewhere in the middle. Built stout enough to handle themselves, but not too big so it makes them less athletic...

" um myles are you sure that you dont have a little ben blood line cuz my cutter dog looks alot like him "

Maye it's just good genetics coming to surface from the same dogs that made WB so well known, I'd have to give the real credit for WB to those dogs a few generations prior to him and the men who bred those dogs  ;D I know WB is surrounded by 2 sides, one that loved him and the other that called him a cull but either way he is one of the most well known yeller dogs to ever live. When I was a catahoula man ( Lord forgive me   :angel:  ) i only knew of WB, blondie, Big boy , Clues Cowboy dog and ofcourse old yeller

Txhoghunter

I would venture to say he don't have much back up in him. Great pic

AW

Do you have same bloodline that Txhoghuntet has. They look Perty close

Waylon

I know that I don't have any Wb blood in em for the past 23 years my line dogs were local lines for plenty if years prior to that. So far none have been born with pedigree's attached. LOL

But I am still poking around the line to see if its gonna interest me in the future.

Tx hog hunter I like the looks of your dogs good looking by the looks of the first one have seen plenty of hogs to looks like he fell in a meat grinder.  ;D ;)

(http://tapatalk.com/mu/aefd402c-6bfa-45c4.jpg)

Well this is the only yella dog I have so far so I figured I'd put a pic up. She is off Monty's line to and is already pretty feisty.

YBM
I just bred to the dog i posted i dont own him but yes they are brothers. I was wondering if you needed an outcross and found the perfect Yeller dog to add to your line and he/she was the total package but they had a bobtail would it be a deal breaker?

Yes sir it would be a no go for me personally.  Not a thing wrong in the world except my own personal tastes,  but I have to have rudders on all my boats.

Lol Yea that’s what I thought I was just curios though.

How about a pup from my yellers ybm maybe they fit your pack :laugh:

They may fit like a glove. Never know. Definatly colored right bro.  :laugh:

Ha trust me they will fit the pack!!

I've only owned one.. And I'm satisfied with how he's put together and performs, although I do have a picture in my mind of the perfect yellow dog! I prefer a leggy, more athletic built BMC. Bryants dog that passed is perfect in my opinion.. I really like blOckier headed dos but sometimes their frames can get big. I prefer a smaller/ medium framed dog.. 50-60 #'s

(http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp289/baseball_10_03/1294323084.jpg) drake is my white colored dog, his hair is just a touch longer than I like but other than that I enjoy him. He'a medium framed, muscular, fast, becoming a go yonder type dog. He doesn't mind going by hisself, he varies but will hunt out over a mile at times. Has good bottom.. Don't know much about his bloodline but he was registered and came from the college station pet store lol

(http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp289/baseball_10_03/1312827372.jpg) Bess the dog on the left is a very, very nice yellow dog. My buddy JJ up in Wortham owns her, she is just a touch on the big side for me! Big square head and very muscular, she's a beast too! She's as nice a hog dog as I've seen. Slow hunter, but bottom for days!
(http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp289/baseball_10_03/1293909707.jpg) we just crossed her with a leggy red cur dog Big E owns, hopefully gonna produce the perfect type yelloWs

Yeaaaa GOTCHA!!!!!!!

Tshell

I knew you had a Yeller weak spot in your crow feathers brotha.
Really nice both of them. They got the look to em for sure.
