Dies anybody on here run Parker curs in their crew?  How do you like them if you do?

All I have is Parker's I love them all they need is a ride too the woods more hunt and drive then any other dogs I've owned

I've hunted behind a few, the ones I saw were some hard huntin little dogs, the get gone and hunt type dogs. I really liked em myself.

I have a parker curr named django, He's  14or15 months and i sure like the speed, range and bottom,with lot's of leg,  He is silent... so just do some shopping around for a good line. 

I love em

I have heard some really good things about them...I have 3 half parkers and I like the 2 I hunt...the other is only about 10 weeks old...I don't know what kind of nose the pure parker has...can't be too bad because they find hogs...

I have two gyps. Had another one, but a hog got her good last week, and she didn't make it. She was really turning it on. She was starting to make a heck of a dog. She would normally cast 800-1000 in no sign, but has been farther. She was a little skiddish in the pen, but never any trouble in the woods. She was almost 3. One I still have is a little over 3, but she is a shorter ranged dog. She normally casts 5-700, in no sign. Doesn't have as strong a nose as the other one did. Both of those dogs were out of Rock.
Just picked up another 2 1/2 year old gyp, don't know much, and I haven't taken her to the woods yet.  Only had her a week or so, so she is just getting settled in. I will say that it took awhile for the other two to get used to things. Seem to be pretty much one person dogs. The one that got killed didn't like anybody but me, and my little one. She would growl and bark at anybody else. Nephew hated feeding her when I was gone, lol.
I have seen some that didn't make the cut, just like any other line of dogs, but I like them.

I've got one I got from a guy a month ago.  He's 10 months old and he already kinda hunts by himself and ranges pretty good sometimes.  Kinda wondering what to expect from a Parker.  I've never hunted around any before.

And they will probably all look just like this, or darker.

Sanman, That is about as fine a cur dog as I have seen. Nice leggy dog with great feet.

Where and what did the Parkers originate from?  I never heard of them until a few years ago.

This is what mine looks like.  Kinda a small framed dog.  He struck this big boar as his first hog at 9 months old at 250 yards.  (http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/27/a3e6u7em.jpg)

Sadly to say, she is the one I lost last week. Still makes me sick to my stomach. Been twice since then, and you can see how much weight she was pulling for my other mutts, so they got some stepping up to do, lol.

She was Rock x Pixie( Rowdy 2 x Minnie). Had big plans for her when she got a few more hogs under her! Apparently, Pixie died, and think this cross was only made once!

 I know where that hogs living, and got a nice sharp knife for them figs, then sausage!!

How's he bred?

Not real sure the guy I hunt with that have him to me knows more about him.  He came from Joey Johnson.  Think his sire was from Johnson and the dam come from Parker

 I have one that's a lil over three years old, named Rambo.  I picked him up earlier this year from a guy who hadn't hunted him in over a year. He gets better and better each hunt. I'm really impressed with him.

Shoot no they ain't parkers but that's a good pic, me and my partner been talkin about gettin a couple for our kids. That boy looks happier than a kid in a candy store.

Yea that's my little nephew that was his first rabbit in front of the beagles with his 4/10

I had one I bought from will Roberts from around Baton Rouge and he was a machine all you had to do was put a collar on him and place his feet on the ground and he was gone. One of the more rangey dogs I've owned. Their just natural hunters all I had to do was get him in on one bay and it was game over he figured it out from there and was straight only thing I had to shock him off of was cows. Sadly he was a hair to gritty and met his demise last fall. Their definitely not for everyone hunting style.

yes sir...a hunting dog is born to hunt...just show them what you want...

My parker is out of Will Robert and Dustin Reeves  Double bred off Tracker with the sire being Sass/goofy.  My parker is starting to shine good and is getting plenty of hogs under his collar!    Like goose87 said comes natural no training needed!  Just feed them tracks ... I got a parker cross pup that's acting a fool at only 5 months I'm holding her back to grow a little but she knows the game pretty well!

All of my dogs are from will Roberts like everyone else said just take them too the woods I really never messed with a good line of dogs till I bought Parker's and I doubt I will own anything but Parker's from now own

Where he come from, you know his background?

Sanman, give me a call. Buster Herndon  409-429-4526

@sanman I bought him from a guy in St. Martinville, LA. He said he comes out of Dustin Reeves yard. Dustin said he's of a litter of goofy and sassy.

We have 3 parkers Most of the time,when you turn any one of the 3 aloose,you wont see them again till you go to them bayed SOMEWHERE!!!

One gyp I got now is a Rock x Sassy, that came from Dustin as a pup. She is a pretty nice dog.

Like I said Rambo is getting better every time I take him out. He just don't stop!!  I would like to get another Parker.

Dose anyone know how good or info on the sassy dog was?

(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/07/01/demymybu.jpg)
This should be how she bred. I have looked through Larry's site for awhile trying to figure out most of the dogs. I have most of it written down. I am not sure if Dustin kept her or sold her. Seems like I read somewhere that Will had a Sassy also, but don't quote me on that. Maybe Mr. Larry can chime in.

Witch blackie is that ? I know there was a couple

Ya i really like learning the line to fine out the most I can , Just so i know what direction they where going..  But as far as hunting the line seems to be on the right track for my liking. Any one have any info on sassy/goofy that Dustin would of had or seen them hunt?

Larry's original Blackie, from what I have read.

I hunted with a Goofy x Sassy gyp last week. Small framed, real dark colored.  She was a real nice dog. Stayed busy, and stayed hunting until she found the hogs we were looking for, there were a few staying in a small patch of woods. She is for a friend of mine, and he uses her for his bigger farms cause she is too long range for his smaller places.

My goofy x sassy male shown in the above picture must not be a typical Parker, he stays busy the whole time we hunting but he doesnt go past 200 unless he's on a hog. He go out and make a circle and come back check up and then he's off again. But me and the guys I hunt with prefer short to medium range dogs. We walk hunt with the dogs in the marsh most of the time. 

200 yards in the marsh is plenty, lol. I have done the long range dogs in the marsh, and never wanna make that 700 yard walk again, that's for sure.

Mine stays busy an works the woods hard, I like how he runs ..  He may become my lead dog with time an tracks. 

the original sassy gyp witch  i'm sure there is several by now but she was a  blackie x Kenny gyp cross ......she was the momma to the rowdy 2  dog also ....

Mr. Larry do you know where Goofy, out of Brandon Reeves yard, comes from?

Thanks Mr. Larry. Glad you chimed in!!

What was the Mae gyp, you remember?

dustin reeves got goofy from me   his daddy was rowdy 2 the momma was a female pj buxston   got from me as a pup ....                                         had  2  females   may  and  june both littermates to my joe dog   out of  JR bred  to queen  .... jr was my old blackie dog bred to his granddaughter bell.. bell was  out of rowdy #1 bred  to sally witch both of them was off my old blackie dog ....queen was out of  katey  crossed on rowdy#2 ....katey was off the old kate female bred on blackie and  rowdy#2 was off rowdy#1 crossed on my old sassy female witch was a blackie x kennie cross ..... every  full parker dog will trace  back too blackie bred on 2 females kennie  and  kate  5  times  each and crossed  offspring from there .....

Thank ya Mr. Larry!

Thanks Mr. Larry! I appreciate the explanation!

Larry...I remember when you first announced that you were going to create a new line of dogs...been a long time ago and you have done just that...I really prefer the mt cur over most breeds but I am talking about the large leggy type with the good noses and good length of ear...but I see where to many look feisty looking and small and the larger ones sometimes are a little mouthy on track...so I have used your dogs to quiet the mt cur and at the same time maintain the range and hunt and the nose...some mt curs are pretty inbred as well as the parker from what I can see...my personal opinion...so that is why I decided to cross the two together but long range dogs are Ok but only if they can't stop one right away...so a little APBT I will add to hopefully put more teeth on the bigger runners at the first opportunity...

I also have seen where you have written about the 2 females you started out with...If I remember correctly you also mentioned that your original Blackie dog was one heck of a dog but it seems you did not know his background...that is what I remember you saying (if I remember correctly)and if that is true then I will say this about Blackie...it is possible that he was a Faulkner cur or a Stephens cur...this could be possible because both of these mt cur lines are supposed to have been some of the best curs around for bottom and the ability to located and bay/tree game...one of these breeds/strains was larger than the other and one was also used on bear on a regular basis...they are still around but don't hear much about them...

just wondering and wanting to get your thoughts on this...

first my opinion on crossing different type dogs with different type characteristics ....its  hard  hard to get a consistant offspring .... if  you breed a  pure  hound  to a  pure  cur for instance  more  than likely the pups  will lean  to one  side  or the  other and  if  you get the  inbetween  your  trying  to  get  what  you gonna  breed  it  too   too  make  it consitant ..... I feel it can be  done  but  will take  more  time and  money than most will spend ....   I bred  a pure mountain cur I owned  to a   brindle  ladner Catahoula crossed female and that is where blackie  came  from .....he  come out black with brindle  trim unlike his siblings witch were cat colored and  red ...... blackie as a throw back from here I can only guess i'd say a mountain cur line ....he was  an exceptional dog and  he liked  hogs  more than anything else although back in those  days  I used  him for  cattle  too and  he'd  tree a  coon  or  two ....... but later  in year he's  where  my thinking about dogs  having multiple  offspring in a  litter and a  female  being able  to have  pups  from different males  in a  single litter  with only the  mother being the common  parent  lends to throwbacks  ( BLACKIE )  so with that I set  out to  develope a  line  of  similar dogs with common characteristics and  eliminate  throwbacks if possible ...... i'm perty close to where I want  mine  they perty much all look the same witch that's a form of consistency  ..... the  rest  is  natural characteristics to hunt and like pigs ..... I perty much pick a real good  male  of  my stock now  and  try and  clone  him through breedings .....
