All the pictures and dogs I ever saw were all big framed dogs but athletes. 60-75 lb dogs. The tracker dog in my opinion from what I heard and the little I saw of those dogs, tracker is the closest thing to that I know of these days as far as look and way.
This was the Bridgette dog. Mind you the belonged to my old boss and at one time uncle by marriage. His uncle was named Tim Exner. Tim Johnny and Jamie were all big buddies.

I wish I had tried harder to round up some of the Doughbelly stuff. I was around a few of them and I really liked most of them. I can really only think of one that I didn’t care for. The issues I saw in him very well could’ve been man made. Most of those dogs had some size and a whole bunch of them were salty. If I remember correctly, Johnny said that Curly and them would usually bay until they told them to catch and then whatever it was they were baying, beef or pork, was caught.

And Jamie talked about the dummy dog multiple times. We’ve talked about this some on here before. It’s not on this thread, it’s on the one about the very first litter I ever had which was victors litter. Idk how to find it.

Levi’s mom was summer. Summers mom was Bridgette. Bridgette was a legendary dog by 3 peoples account. Bridgette went back to one of those 3 stooge dogs or a direct offspring.

Levi reminds me a lot of the dogs that Jaime Woodard and Johnny Morton had for a long time. They were dual purpose dogs. Johnny had a male named Curly that was heck of a dog and Jaime had a littermate brother that was also super nice according to Johnny. Johnny said he thought Jaime’s might have been a shade better. I had a dog from Johnny that was out of his old Betty female bred back to  Doughbelly Quiney’s last old dog named Dummy. My dog was Johnny’s pick of the litter but he liked Johnny’s chickens as much as Johnny so at about a year old Johnny called and told me if I wanted him
to come get him because he wasn’t going to see tomorrow. Man he was an outstanding dog. It was funny because his name was Clyde which was what my old dog at the time was called. So when you said Clyde around the house you got double the attention. It was kinda like when I was growing up. If momma said Thomas, daddy and I both paid attention. We always knew which one of us she was addressing though by her tone. Seemed like my daddy just couldn’t act right, lol. My original Clyde dog was the dog that I based the dogs I have now off of.

This was their daddy Levi. He was a Leo Tx Leopard dog.

Trackers dad was that cross. Trackers dad was victor. Victors dad was Levi. Levi was a 14 year old cow dog out of that family of dogs.

Trip south on Saturday was a mess but a few hours and thousand acres later Nate’s Tracker dog rigged a boar. Ended up with 7 or 8 cur dogs coming back together on him and while we were watching the bay the curs caught him. Tracker ended up coming home with me. He’s a 6 year old out of sketch. This weekend was first time I’ve gotten to see him go due to injuries every other time I’ve been down. But Nate knows a dog and says he is one. Hes a pretty bad dude off the rig, Or on a track as that is how they hunt down there. We were between Kenedy and goliad and wow it was dry, even compared to what we have been at home. Thankfully just got 5 inches here in Swiss alp this weekend.

Our dogs hunted okay but could never get a track going. About 1 am I knew it was going to take tracker getting a good rig, and sure enough he did. Brought tracker home to try to cover misty but I believe we missed her. I put king over her early last week and I reckon she may have taken. This opportunity arose and we figured we’d see if we could split the litter but I don’t believe they tied.

If Misty took to king I will be plenty excited and we can try tracker again. King x Misty is a good cross by my math on paper so we shall see.

Went and caught 2 yesterday in the pouring rain yesterday evening with Tim, Rhett, and an Ex MLB Pitcher by the name of Homer Bailey. Soon as we casted dogs here it come. Rained 1.1 inch in about an hour on us.

It was supposed to be a handful of hogs trapped in a netwire pasture. The struck, it started pouring. And goose directly run them out of there into the neighbors and the other dogs were trying to get to him. Once we figured out what was happening we opened a gate and let help go to goose. They bounced the group around for a little till the twisted sisters Lulu and Theresa put them back up in front of us. Caught a young boar.

Dogs rolled and after a little race put a good sow up in a spring against the fence the crawled out of and we got to watch 6 cur dogs flat give her the business. We called it after that but Mr.Bailey left us an open invite to return when weather is better. He said to bring the cavalry cause he’s got the hogs. Look forward to making the trip in the future.

In other news we’re headed south this afternoon to go hunt with Nathan and take flip and flop back to him. He ended up in a bind for some young dogs after a hog crippled 2 of his a while back. 

I’m also carrying a gyp of mine down there to try to get covered by his Tracker dog. Tracker is out of sketch by an own son of hers. And he is puro hog dog. I’ve already got the gyp covered by one of my studs but we’re going to see if we can split the litter. Hopefully more to share after tonight.
