Smoke, red w/tan trim
Finished dog on hogs and cattle. Medium to med long range. Excellent nose. Great raw speed and great track speed. Hunts on the run and very busy. Good handle and nice dog to be around. Hunts the same with or without company. Has been hunted day and night in country that ranges from flat grassland, to heavy brush, to crop ground, to deep canyon country. When legged up she can be hunted day after day and has no quit. Very tight aggressive bay style, will bite the ham or nuts to stop a runner or a hog that breaks, but will then always back up and bay. She will help catch with the catch dog but will roll out after you leg the hog. Roads well or can be cast. When she checks in its time to move, no hogs there. She is one of my top finished strike dogs that has been hunted hard for the last 3 years and has been on 100+ hogs. Must run with tracking, when she starts a track she will finish it and stay bayed as long as it takes for you to get there. She is not a dog that will follow a hog around for miles, she gets there and gets them stoped right now. Can be called out of a bay with the crack of a whip or gun shot. She is smart in the field and will always track her way back to the last place she saw the truck and then track to the truck. Will not leave the country if there is no sighn she will find you when she is ready to move spots. She is an outstanding dog with no week spots, she is all business. Hunts through deer no problem. Will not look at a cow at night and can be hunted in cattle at night. She is a proven producer.
One bad habit, she will flash run a jackrabbit that jumps up in front of her in the daylight when she is fresh.
This is my definition of a finished dog and she fits this description,
"Finished means quality, great drive, predictability in hunting style, great ability to find and stop hogs, great bay style and ability to use the correct pressure to hold different types of hogs, great track speed, great raw speed, good handle, smart, no bad habits.....and can do it all when hunted alone. The dog will have no weak spots and can do it all on its own."
