EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

Alright I got a guy trying to give me a 7 month old full blood red bone the question I have is do they make good hog dogs? Never messed with this breed before she's been started n a pen n will bay, another concern I have is are they usually open on track. Any info is helpful thanks.

The ones ive seen are usually open on track some are good hog dogs some are coon dogs ask the guy if u could see it on a hunt or give u a trial

My buddies best coon dog is a red bone, so go from there. Out of 5

Well he's giving me the dog for free he's a buddy I already have too many bay dogs but I need another strike dog with a great nose that's why I'm even considering this dog

I've been told that they tend to be quieter than other hounds. I have heard of some great redbone cross dogs.

If its free i guess just try him out before u start paying for more feed and stuff for him because he may not be what u want

Ive owned a couple dang good redbone hog dogs over the yrs. But like all breeds depends on the individual dog. Most of them were pretty gritty too.
I would definitely give it a try, wont hurt a thing to try out a dog ready to start and be trained the way you want it. Might not be silent tho.

For what its worth, I have hunted behind two redbone/bmc crosses, who are some darn good find dogs. They are littermates and both hunt out great as far as I am concerned. Both arent the least bit rough, but they hunt out good and can find some hogs and will bay the fire out of a hog till reinforcements show up. Both are silent on track and wont bark until they are looking at a hog. I've got a pup out of one of them, crossed with a cat, and at a yr old is showing me what I would like to see.

 If it were me, and was getting it for free and had some room, I would sure give it a chance and see what it could do. If it dont work out then do what needs to be done.

I've got a full blood redbone and he's got the nose from hell. If there's hogs where were at he will find them. He's only open when he's on a hogs heels. He won't catch it tho he just nips at it.
