This is a ghost town lately unless I’m not seeing everything. I can only reply to new posts. I can’t go back and look at old posts or anything like that. I’ve talked to a few of y’all and enjoyed it. I know NLA has a couple of litters and both look really good and are already playing the part of what they are bred to do as little guys. Cajunl has caught all the Florida hogs and is waiting on new stock to filter back in. In the mean time he’s wetting hooks and doing all the good. Between hogs and fish, him and NLA will never be hungry. Judge’s young dogs have been doing good and he’s been lucky enough to pick up another spot or two. I haven’t been hunting like I need to for a couple of reasons and you can see it in my dogs. They are soft and out of shape. I lost my old Outlaw dog and that one hurt in more ways than one. I had loaned Ava out to a buddy and he was done with her so I got he back home but she was a lot too heavy. I pulled some weight off but in the mean time I was forced to hunt my young gyp Dilly solo. That’s not a bad thing, they all need that. She did good and I was still catching hogs behind her. Ava came in and bred her to a really nice Treeing Walker. He’s up in age pretty good and she only had three pups. Two of the three were still born and the third died a couple days later. No way to know for sure why it happened so I can only speculate. I had a litter out of Outlaw bred back to his niece/cousin as well, two females and 4 males. I’ll let y’all guess which gender I was wanting to keep for myself. I really like 5 out of the 6. The female I kept was actually my least favorite but my buddy wanted a female. He’s as good of guy as I know, a man of his word for sure. We’ve set him up with some dogs and something freakish has happened to what I considered the better ones. So I let him take the female I thought was the best, a male, and their her momma to try and get him in a good spot. Those pups are 10 months old now and it looks like they might make it. Teaspoon got one that he said is trying. I sent one to Utah for bear/Mnt.lion and he says he’s doing really good. They bayed a bear on the ground the other day after about a 6 mile ordeal in some pretty rough terrain. He said when he got in there that the pup from me “was doing everything right, staying out of the way and putting teeth when he should’ve been”. That sure made me feel good. One went out to Stephenville and I was told he was doing great at everything he was doing with him, mainly cows. He was about 6-8 months old and the neighbor shot him. My buddy that got the two pups knew I’d lost Outlaw and voluntarily brought the male back to me so I’d have something out of Outlaw. That’s the kind of things this guy does. I’d told him I was going to cull my female because there were some flaws I didn’t like and would never breed to. I’ve hunted the male twice now. Both times he’s been gone the entire time. I never showed him a hog. The first hunt we didn’t get him on a hog but the second time he was bayed a half mile from us with Ava and Dilly. They originally were bayed at about 7-800 yards from us. It broke before they got bayed at just over a half mile. When Deputy Dawgs two got there they caught it in the creek that was almost knee deep. My pup was loving every minute of it. He was working HARD on that little boar hogs back end. The hog was only 110-120 but for the pup I thought that was a pretty good showing. He was the last dog we called in that day. I also raised 11 bulldog pups out of my big female Nala( 85# ) and Deputy Dawgs male Rusty (85#). Both dogs are made nice have great smarts and dispositions. You can literally walk them up off leash and watch a bay. Rusty was sent from 200ish yards yesterday. The hog was bayed in a trail going through the woods. When Deputy Dawg sent him he just walked to the hog and then exploded into him when he got up close. He catches so intelligently, it’s really cool. There were 12 pups total, 3 males 9 females. I’ll let y’all guess which gender I was wanting out of that litter and to make it worse the the runt male didn’t make it leaving two males. They seem to be very nice pups so far. The male I kept is a beast. I weighed him the other day. At 11wks old he was 22#. So long as they all stay the course I’ll be ok for another couple years.
Rusty
Rusty/Nala
Me standing outside the wood line listening to the bay with Nala and my old pit/cat catch dog Ranger that I just retired. It’s nice being able to handle two bull dogs off leash at the same time.
Nala
Rusty/Nala = Marshal
Deputy Dawgs little boy Cannon is always telling people that him or his daddy are going to arrest them because his daddy is a Deputy Sheriff. So I figured I’d teach the command “arrest him” to this catch dog so Cannon can say arrest him Marshal.
This is “Smooth”. Yep that’s his name. I said my buddy was a great guy but I didn’t say he was good at naming dogs, lol. He’s my 10 month old out of Outlaw. I sure hope he makes it. He looks like NLA bred him up being black and brindle trimmed.
