EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

Last Thursday night we were pulling up to a stop sign to go to another field to hunt. We were pulling a ranger on a trailer behind the truck. The dog box on the ranger was packed so as usual we put some of the dogs in the bed of the truck. My best strike dog (who rides in the back of the truck all the time) for some odd reason jumped out and went under the trailer. Of course the way luck goes, the worst things always seem to happen to the best dogs. Well he ended up hitting his head real bad and got a concussion and he's gonna be blind in his right eye. The dog is almost 2 yrs old and is a one of a kind dog. He's damn good. And I don't want to see that talent go to waste just like that.  I just wanted to get y'all's opinions on one eyed dogs. Iv talked to a lot of people that have had dogs loose an eye and once they have recovered, were still as jam up as before. Just would like to see what y'all think. Thanks

what he don't see going he'll see coming back . haha

   i doubt if it'll affect him any .

Will not affect him at all. I had a real rough plot. He ended up getting so cut up in the rear, that he had to have a leg amputated. I kept hunting him & then he got a eye knocked out. Still never affected him. If I would have known what kind of reproducer he was going to be, I would have retired him but I kept hunting him. We got him bred to some females but ended up getting him cut up one day & he hemorrhaged & bled out that night.

Nobody can say your dog had any quit what so ever. I'll tell you now if my leg gets amputated I'd still hunt, but if my leg gets whacked off and then I lose an eye, I couldn't see 1 damn reason I'd hit the woods again. Seelms like a leg and an eye is alittle to much to pay for a hog.

   lol dang Cajun was that dog's name lucky  ? 

Thanks guys. Appreciate it. This dog isn't that rough so that's a plus. And I want to breed him so I'm gonna hurry up and get that done cause you never know when they might go

hell I wouldn't worry about it too much. my old dog has a hell of a battle scar on one of his eyes, got hooked right in the socket. The man I got him from said his eye gouped up and glazed over for the better part of a year before it started clearing up again. that happened years ago and if you look at his actual eye you can still see a big dark brown line in it, im not 100% sure how well he see's out of it to this day but it hasn't seemed to bother him much at all, at least not in the time i've owned him.

it won't affect a good dog.
they will always be keeping an eye out for that next hog...

I have a young gyp that lost an eye to a thorn locust.  She seems to be doing well with just one eye. 

I used to have a one eyed pit that found plenty a hog.

Hookem54 had a very good one eyed strike dog!!
