EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

Do any of y'all have any treeing cur dog stories or top dogs ? Interested on knowing how many are getting hunted on hogs

   that's all I have been running for years , treeing curs =  cur x hound crosses of all kinds .

Yes sir

Look at those Ladner YBMC's. I've seen some people that hunt with em and are having some success

My best dog is 100% Ladner cur. She's a little dog that goes everywhere 100mph.

Landers make darn good dogs

I have said for a long time now...if I were to get me a yellow cur it would more than likely be a  Ladner...if they tree a squirrel and  track a coon they will for sure lead a pack around and make them look good...

There is a man up the country who bought some ladner  bmc 's and bred them up to another level and he has beaten the hounds and mt curs in coon trials consistently...

Before they called them freeing curs they were just cur x hound...then around 2000 or so the Locals started that registry and I thought was a bunch of bullchit because that makes the pups cross breeds...but they pulled it off...usually a top cross is a good hound from a long line of good dogs crossed with a good line of mt cur...might be a little mouthy on track but should be some hunting machine's...

That's exactly what I was thinking. I've heard of a guy around here who went to some club hunts for coons and those hounds couldn't handle them ybmc's because they weren't giving mouth on the ground

danged phone...on my last post I meant to write "treeing cur" not freeing cur and the "Kovac's" and not the locals...  ???

Ruebon's right. It was Amy Kovack & her Dad who first launched what they called treeing curs. It was a treeing Walker x cur cross. They had them registered with some registry.
  I never had much luck with the Ladner curs as hogdogs. The two I tried really had the hunt & were good tree dogs, just not that interested in hogs but I guess there were several that made it.

I remember John Wick had  a leopard dog named Jug that he was crossing with high bred Treeing Walkers. There was about a half dozen articles he wrote in The American Cooner about Jug and those pups. Stopped following the Competition Coon hunting world and don't know what became of that line but from what John Wick who is certainly on the mt. Rushmore of coon hunters, wrote about Jug and his offspring I'm sure there's leopard dogs out there that can tree game with the best of em.

I must have missed out on the good Ladners because I've hunted with 5 papered dogs and they were all culled and the males  I've seen have a lot of dog aggression

I am with yeller on the ladners. I have owned at least 10 and they all showed more dog aggression than most pits I have seen. Only one made a hog dog. Two made tree dogs that could only be hunted by themselves because of there aggression towards anything else on the tree and the rest were culled. I am sure there are some good ones. I just haven't seen them.
