Title: Hunting short range and long range dogs together Post by: LAhogger84 on February 09, 2014, 10:19:44 pm So this summer I sold out and getting back in it. This weekend I bought a pair or short range dogs. They r good dogs n both find n got good bottom and all etc. So my question is how do y'all think it would be hunting those two dogs with a long range dog. He's a cast dog / hunts out to 8-900 then comes back sometimes a mile and the other 2 are more walk dogs.

But I've seen the shorter range dogs turn long range. And I've seen the opposite where the long range goes shorter. My bet is the short range dogs start hunting further out. Mainly cause I think once the long range dog starts finding hogs before the other 2, the two short dogs will want to be up in the action more and hang with him

But all depends on the long range dogs independence. If it isn't strong enough....he is gonna start laying back with the heel hounds. If the long ranged dog isn't effected and rolls on out again ...leave the heel hounds on the ground and they might pick up some ideas and get gone as well. But dang sure wouldn't ruin my good long range dog with shoe warmers. Get em off the ground if it starts effecting the long range dog.

They really complimented each other & I caught a lot of hogs with both dogs.
Title: Re: Hunting short range and long range dogs together Post by: YELLOWBLACKMASK on February 10, 2014, 08:57:28 am Two different ideas on hunting. ;D
Some folks love short range....works great for them in there geographical locations. Some folks love long range.....let the dog do the hunting. Would say in this scenario ......figure out which benefits you more and take the other dog up unless the type you prefer is the independent one.

The only way he will quit a hog basically is to cut him off. He sounds pretty independent.

I have short range dog and the both have med. to very long range dogs... Sometimes the short ranges dog goes with them but for the most part they hunt short range and the long range hunt deep...
