EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

I am curious as to what type of dogs a lot of you guys are hunting. Seems everyone is hunting something different. A lot of the pics are of hogs and may have a dog or two in the pics, but I am interested in seeing what the dogs are.

Any of you guys want to post a pic of your dogs (with or without hogs) and a note saying what they are or how they are bred? Especially your favorite hog dogs.

Anyone that knows me knows my Dixie female. She is by far the best find and bay dog I have ever owned or hunted with. Problem is, she went and got old on me!! She turned 11 last March and you guys know thats OLD for a hog dog. She was my main find and bay dog for years and her littermate brother Rock was my lead in catch dog. And don't think if a hog broke he didn't have enough leg under him to run it down and catch it!! And you better have a break stick when you went to get him off the hog. We never hog hunted Rock as he was a cow dog too and would go to cows. But if his sister bayed, he would run over cows to catch the hog. They were a great team and taught me a lot about hog hunting with just two dogs.

I have to say to this day my favorite dog to hunt behind was Blue owned my Mike Bolen.  Just a no BS kind of dog, he was a Catahoula and in his younger years I am told he thought he was a catch dog, but by the time I got to hunt behind him used just enough grit to keep them bayed.   Probably the only dog I can think of that I really miss....and he wasn't even my dog!

Blue was a great dog, I was fortunate to get to catch quite a few hogs behind him.  The thing that stood out to me was his ability to find one right when you were about to give up finding one and he could keep nearly any hog bayed alone.

My favorite dog that I own is Smiley, she is a half BMC half Cat that I bought when she was two.  She will be 6 at the end of this year but she is the only dog that I have ever owned that KNOW what I want her to do and I can typically just takl to her.  She has a very good handle, not the deepest hunting dog but still finds her own hog regularly and can wind really well when I tell her to ride the box.  She is a like a kid to me a like just being around her.  You never have to worry about her fooling around, you take her down to the pond to go fishing and she will sleep in the shade or catch frogs in the shallow water, go back to the house collar up and she will hunt out.  She just knows what you want.

My second favorite is my little black dog Crow.  He has his short comings like most but he is hard to beat in the hussel department.  He just turned two and has been hunting well since about 6-7 months old.  He is 3/4 BMC and 1/4 English Pointer.

That Blue dog seems like he would have been my kind of dog. I like a dog that will do it alone, with no help. Most of the time I will hunt just one dog out or a grown dog and a young dog. I have never been able to convince 3-4 of my potlickers out at one time that they need to BAY.... :o

Thats what made Dixie so great in my eyes. We would hunt someone elses "good" dog in front of the truck or cast him out. When that dog would come back we would turn Dixie out by herself without moving and she would go bay a hog the other dogs never knew was there. And she could keep almost any hog bayed , just had an uncanny ability to do that. Most hogs would break and run if they had been dog caught before but she could just make them stand and bay. Never quite figured out how she could do it, while other dogs hunting the same place couldn't. I could write volumes about things she did, but I want to hear about some of you guys dogs.

That Blue dog sounds like he had the same ability to find and keep one bayed. Its rare to see one that just stands out by himself and that others (besides the owners) think are really good dogs.

You guys keep posting, lets see what you are hunting!

Buster, owned by Daniel (RIP) is by far the best I've seen, will find, bay by himself, you really don't need anymore baydogs with him, it just makes it easier I suppose. In fact he is Daniels only bay dog and was ran by himself for a long time and found and bayed up many by himself.

The last 8 months or so he has been spoiled hunting with dogs of mine and other buddies. But I have seen him have several good sized hogs bayed alone till help gets there. He is a spectaular dog and what I'm sure I'll be searching for awile to equal.

Where did the Buster dog come from? He looks almost like my Spur dog but I am sure they are not related unless Buster came from Fla. Same color, same white markings, long tail, etc. Course, sounds like Buster is a lot better dog than my Spur dog!

I have never been to Tx (not yet anyway) and only sent one dog out there, but he is dead now.

Here is a pic of my Spur dog, don't they look alike?

(http://i621.photobucket.com/albums/tt293/MarkFreddy/GSW09C.jpg)

I hunt a wide range of breeds. They consist of two blue lacys, a BMC gyp, plott catahoula cross,  two catahoula bulldog, ridge back cur cross, cur birddog cross, a lacy cur bulldog cross, reg. catahoula, and all the young pups are lacy and catahoula lacy cross pups. Wanting to breed the BMC to a good BMC thats big and stout and has some good lrgs under him willing to give the pic of the litter for stud service. She is out of ruddy cantu lines.

my favorite dog had to be Earl (bmc) he was 9 yrs old when he got killed.

he was a longrange pork producer...

(http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp85/cryward/apr-may08099.jpg) I have owned many good one's I can't get the picture's on here.This is a gyp that was born and raised by me this picture waswhen she was fourteen years old she died a week after this picture was taken she would travle as for as one could to find a hog and take atrack and go with it.Tough to beat dhe was one of those pro football player she was finding hogs at 11 months old and nerver quit I never retired he I would use her if someone had found a track of a big hog I would catch up with them to use her to find it!She almost got my Ike dog  culled because when he was a pup I put him with her and he got way ahead sat down went to baying I seen her cross one road trailing and he quit and came back to find her she whet to the same place he was baying and bayed then he started baying with her.Thats why my wife say's he is hers because I was going to cull him for that and she stopped me!Ike and her were half brother and sister.She was 13 and he was just a pup there daddy lived to 17 years old wish I had some pictures of her in her prime she was one of the best built dogs a man could ask for!Her name was TITY BABY

Here are some more that rank pretty high up there for me.

Sherry - aka the old lady - East Texas brindle cur - owned by Thomas Rohan - I was fortunate enough to get to keep and hunt her for several months in late 07 early 08 to use as a puppy trainer. Not sure how old she is now, but I think she is bumping 12 years old and still getting it done.

Crackerc, I've loved them catahoula dogs since I was kid. My kinfolks up out Winnfield, LA free ranged hogs for generations... just called them cur dogs. Unfortunately, when I got started hunting with dogs, they had been out of it for a while. I'd love to have some my uncle's dad's old dogs. They all were built and looked like my old Blue dog, block headed leopards with crazy colored eyes.

Thanks for the kind words Matt and Chris. I know I've told y'all a hundred times... but you should have seen him hunt before the brucellosis took his jewels. Imagine the black dog's hustle with his nose and bottom.

Was he a perfect dog... no. His main drawback was when there were too many people and too many dogs on a hunt. I drug that dog all over the state and hunted in just about every type of terrain you could imagine and he produced hogs. Helluva nose and could be hunted any way you wanted to hunt him. Not always, but a great geal of the time out struck any other dog on the ground. You'll never see me brag or talk up any of my dogs, but since he's dead and gone I guess I can say a few good words about him.

Two other dogs that in my top three favorites would be Mr. Mason's Daisy Blue and old man Herman's Blue Eyed gyp. Both outstanding dogs that have produced more hogs than anyone cares to count.

Mr.Mason's Daisy Blue, I don't have many pics of her, well cause she ain't mine, but I have always wished she was

Good call on Herman's "blue eyed b!tch" as he called her.  Without question the ONLY dog I have every hunted behind that when you turned her loose you never saw until you were at the hog.  She would roll out and be gone again, she was a unique dog to say the least.  A real leggy red leapard dog with blue eyes.  Funny to think about that dog never wore a tracking collar haha how she made it is beyond me.  I know of several occasions where the hog would break and they would pick her up on the highway several days later headed back home 15-20 miles from where they turned out.
Matt

CrackerC, this is Shiner, hopefully you'll get to see her hunt this weekend.  This dog is still really young, but she is in a league of her own.  Longer range dog than I usually hunt, but that's the only thing I've been able to fault her for.  Just over 65#'s, runs like a cheetah, bays like a champ, catches hard as a bulldog.  I'll put some more shots of the other dogs up tomorrow, but I think you'll be surprised how much my Snappa gyp looks like your Dixie.  Talk at you tomorrow.

wormydog great looking yella dogs you got there. in my opinion you cant beat a good yella dog

i like them wormy dogs !!

Noah, What is the breeding on that dog?

3/4 Yellow Florida cur(big/catchy strain) x 1/4 English Pointer(hog dog itself).  The females are tough, the males are as tough as they get. 

i'd have to name 2, and they'd would have to be Mr. Mason's Daisy Blue and Krystal's dog Lotto.  that was my first experience hunting behind some for REAL hog dogs.  i'd never hunted behind dogs like that before, EVER.   i've hunted with some pretty decent dogs but that was definitely my first time hunting behind GOOD dogs.  i'll never forget that day for sure.  i don't know if ya'll ever felt this way startin out but it was like a light switch went off in my head and i thought "this is how it's supposed to be", dang good day for me. 

favorite dog i've ever hunted behind and came up empty was a dog owned by Derek Ensors brother.... CoCo.   i ain't got any pics of her, Krystal might.  we didn't get on any hogs that day but she was a definite workin dog, had a lot of hustle to her for her being kinda small.  didn't worry about what the other dogs were doing that dog was hunting come hell or high water.

Got any leads on the big catchy strain Forida curs?

Yes.  PM me exactly what you're looking for.

Thanks guys!!!!!!!!!!!  I sure love me some yella!

Well I hunt lacy's and cats, but I'm not set on any specific breeds, they all have their ins and outs, I like them all!!!!!!! But if I had to pick a breed it would be a cat! I like me them yella dogs too though.

Good looking dogs guys, keep the pics coming!

Mike, they used to do the same thing down here in Fla. Up until the 1950's there were no fences in Fla, it was free range for cattle and hogs. After they fenced in the cattle, the hogs still ran everywhere and they had "hog claims" where you had a tract of land that you owned the hogs on and you caught and marked your hogs. But they were still free range and the old Fla guys used dogs to find and catch them to be marked, castrated, etc.

Also its funny that you mentioned about Blue and crowds. Dixie had that very same trait. If you took a couple of strangers hunting with her she acted totally different, wouldn't hardly hunt to start with. She always had to sort of get to know you before she would hunt right. But she wasn'y ever shy, just would kind of hang around to start with and size everyone up I guess.

Some of the old Fla dogs came leopard color too, in addition to about every other color. I am sure the Fla dogs are crossed up six ways from Sunday if you could go back in their bloodline far enough and look.

Noah, I look forward to seeing your dogs. That Shiner dog sounds like she may be right up my alley.... ;D

That Daisey Blue female seems like she was real popular out there and was a good dog. Anyone ever get any good pups from her?

No question, my favorite was Abby.  I hated this dog when I first started her...wouldn't hunt, wouldn't bark at a hog, wouldn't do anything except look nice and that's probably why she stayed around.  One day she somehow got her mind right and bar-none ended up one of the best I've ever hunted behind and definately the best I've owned.  Before she died, I started purposely holding her back...I would turn her out when other dogs had come back in and she would consistantly find hogs that way.  Developed a fungal lung infection and I lost her at almost three years old.

i know mr. mason has 1 dog out of her on his place.. but i'm sure there are others around.  he said she's trying to come back into heat so i'm hoping to be able to get one of those pups.

This is Txmason Daisey Blue, she 9 years old now and still doesn't act it.
I have pups from CA. to FL. and up in Maryland, one 4 year old might be coming back.
I have been trying to breed her again for a while and she took this week so might have some Blue and Chili pup around the first of Aug.
(http://www.txmasoncatahoulas.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10001/normal_Blue_2002.jpg)

I guess her and Chili is why I stayed with the Catahoula's.

I have told people if I had 6 like her I would give the other 20 away.

I have never been real keen on the leopard colored dogs, as the few I have hunted with were mostly bay pen bred and were practicaly worthless in the woods, but I do like that female. In the one pic you can really see the intelligence in her.

I hope you get a good litter out of her, I was never able to get a litter out of my Dixie female due to cancer and having to have her spayed. I always regretted not being able to get a pup out of her.

Where are the pups in Fla? Just curious if anyone close by me has one so I could see it hunt.

good looking yella dogs wormy dog!!!!

Guys name is Roman and hes around Orlando.  He came firrst from NJ. and bought two dogs and he moved to FL. about a year or so ago and came by here and bought 4 more dogs from me.

Heard from him a while back and he might come up this fall.

Seems like most are out of state and few inTexas. 

Mr. Mason, isn't my dog off of Lil' Blue and Chili ? I'm in Georgia. I would post a pic but I ain't real good with a computer.

Lee,
Your dog is out of Little Blue and Chili.

cward,

The saddleback dogs are from two different people, but I've been curious if they could all be related way back down the line.  My hunting partner has been breeding his line for about ten years, and his foundation dogs came from around the Goliad area.  I recently found a goverment trapper who had a bloodline of saddlebacks that also supposedly originated around Goliad.  I was curious about his dogs..they have almost IDENTICAL markings to the others, built very similar, and look very similar, so I bought a pup from him a while back.  She immediately started setting the world on fire and I was so impressed that I tracked down a guy who had bought a littermate and bought him also.  Later, after buying the littermate, I also convinced the guy to sell me his foundation bitch (I believe he's three generations deep in this blood) and I bred her to a super-long range yellow blackmouth named Buck that I have who has also proven to be a producer.  Lots of people on this board have hunted with Buck (used to be Bud) and will attest that he hunts very different than a typical blackmouth and isn't scared to twist off and leave out miles upon miles in search of a hog.  The mother is due to whelp any day.  I have considered having these saddlebacks DNA tested to see if the bloodlines somehow match.  They are all rangy dogs, and pretty rough to boot.

The brindle dog I saw on a guys chain up in Paris, TX when she was a little pup.  I was up there for something else...I saw her and immediately fell in love but he wouldn't sell.  About a week later he called me and said if I was interested he would take $100 for her, so stupid me I drove 9 hours up and back to get her.  I don't know that I currently own a dog now that I wouldn't trade to haver her back.  After she died, I called the guy (who I had found out later buys and sells a LOT of dogs) and asked about her bloodline.  He was absolutely less than willing to help, and claimed he had bought her at a flea-market in Oklahoma.  When I started mentioning  that I would probably pay in the thousands to get back in her blood, he started crawfishing...that ticked me off and I hung up.  I wish I knew more about her...


Here's Buck...

Sounds like a really good dog Parker, have you been able to get one out of that blood that could match that dog?   

This is my Favorite Hog dog now...(I had another dog that died here at home a few years ago) This is Tuffy, she is a Campbell Cur from Perry, GA. She is making an awesome strike dog!!! I am glad she made her way to Texas..... ;D

Was that your dog, and is that you?  That'd be pretty cool to be on the cover of that magazine!

yeh thats me and my earl dog when we were both in our prime   ;D  ;D

noah  there  is  quite a  few  dogs  out  o f him  that has  been  outstanding  dogs ......far  as  good a  find d ogs  as  he  was   i  doubt it ....  far  as  myself  i  don't  hunt a  1/3  as  much as  i  used  too ....i was  in my  twentie s back  then and  i hunt  nearly  everyday .....and  i hunted  blackie alot .....and  alot  of the  place  i hunted  there  was  just a  hog  here  and  there ...... u guess  there  can  only be  one  best  you  ever  owned .....and  i'd  say  i'll not t op  him ......and  from a   breeding standpoint   haveing a  dog at  the  top  of  your  breeding  program  the  kind  that stood out  amonst good dogs  is  the  way  to  go for  me ......then  all you have  to  do  is  line  breed  trying  to  get  as  much  of  him  as  you  can in your  dogs ......

Great to see all the guys posting pics and short stories about their dogs. We all like our own dogs for different reasons, one is they seem to fit our different hunting styles.

Larry Parker where did you get your Blackie dog? I know he kind of started the Parker dogs for you, just curious if you bred him or got him somewhere? We have talked before on your board about him being a producer. I never got pups from my Dixie female, but I have seen good dogs that just never produced much. Blackie seemed to be very prepotent as he seemed to produce a high percentage of good dogs out of different females.

One of the best male dogs I ever saw in the woods was a dog named BJ. He hunted out good, had an excellent nose, could wind or trail, was a little rough but would bay a bad hog and catch with the catchdog. I mean he was a REAL good dog for years.  The guy that owned him bred him to hog dogs, cow dogs, bird dogs, hounds, bulldogs, etc. I bet he was bred 50 times over about 8-9 years. Bred to some good dogs too as the guys with females wanted pups like that male, but none of the pups ever turned out anything close to the old dog. Most were culled.

I think this just shows how peculiar genetics and breeding can be........

Those are both good lookin dogs !!!!!!
that dog on the left looks like a dog named muzzle that my two gyps are out of. hoppy kempfer owned this dog.. I was lucky enough to get a couple of pups out of him !! One of mine is almost 11 and the other is 5 !!! My 11 year old is one of the best dogs i have ever hunted with.. she is pretty rangy , no quit at all she will stay with one for a week if she has to .. in her younger day she thought she was a bulldog but now she does what she has to to keep the hog tight.. i have lost this dog many times ... I lost her once for over a week I new she was either dead from the hog or gator eat.... I went back to where i lost her (about a 2 mile walk on a WMA) every day till i found her  .. When i found her by luck she was cut down and in bad shape could not walk I carried her all the way back to the truck and brought her home to doctor her up ... well she lived !! This dog is part of the family and is just as good a yard / house dog as she is hog dog.. i dont hunt her much but when she goes she still gives the same performance as always!!! here are a few pics from her younger years and now !!  She is catahula / bmc Im not sure about the muzzle dogs (her daddy) background  but her mama was catahula / black and tan partin The fella that owned these dogs is up there in age now but still keeps a few dogs around sad to say for health reasons he does not hunt anymore...
