If I mailed ya'll a 6 pack each would you keep talking cause I am learning and enjoying the info and opnions about yella dog breeding. I can listen all day long to folks who have proven they have the attitude and character to breed good dogs and will cull hard making no excuses when they fail. Good info guys
Waylon if it was not for the Net I would have not found these guys!! My dogs might not fit everyone!!But they do have good gentics!!! They work great for me !!! I shorten the range on my dog and they do look for alittle direction because I use them all both ways (handle) It does slow them down because they don't want to make a mistake!!! But they look at a whole lot of hogs!!! But I did have a guy ask me about 6 months ago how long range will they go to find a hog I said not that far I would say if I hit a track they will go with it all day but as for as hunting I Knocked that out of them by useing them both ways!! This man I respect and he has hunted a long time and worked lots of cattle he said I want to see what they will do without handle (Just straight hogs no cows) he has seen this blood of dog his whole life!!! So I got 2 that I do not use on cows!! Mator out of Ike a line breed gyp that is 76% my blood and another male pup Named Motto Motto that is also out of Ike but 88% my blood!! All I can say is you better not put them on the ground with just the Garmin you better have the Radio collars on them 2 they are fixing to hunt!!! Ike is my single best dog but he is lazy and don't range real far he is the last liveing son of my dog I started with in 1991 witch was line breed when I got him!!! Ike has produce more Pork than Walmart!!!!! He has produced some pretty nice pups also!! I have culled several off him that did not make my cut!! But produce some pretty nice pups!!All the best dogs that I ever owned were atleast half brothers or siters to Ike some way better than he is!!!
It does not matter if they are yellow, Cats, hounds, or UglyDogs !!!!! If you cull hard then you can only get better!! To me it would take 100 years of breeding to get a litter of a 100% Pro. dogs!!
And if there are breeders that say they do then why do they offer if he don't turn out than bring him back and I will give you another pup!! They would say ain't no need to bring him back because that pup is sure enough going to work no if ands buts about it bottom line!!!
When I give a pup away I ask for him not to be traded and if it don't make the cut to do away with it or bring it back to me to do so!!!!
One thing about Skoal- Bigo -and Craig you do not have to tell them guys that because you know they will handle the problem before I ever get that call to bring one back!!
