The best dog you ever owned?

I have had several good dogs and some I considered very good. But I had one that I raised in my back yard that was born great. At 8 weeks he was winding for treats as were the littermates but when I started running drags he led the pups around and he made it look easy. Before 12 weeks of age he could run a drag that had loops and figure eights. I quit running drags when he even followed a double back track that I finished in a 5 gallon bucket.

He was striking hogs before 6 months of age and at 1 year of age could hunt with the best. I could write a book on this dog. I have had some real good dogs but none like yeller. He just knew where to find a hog and quick. When I dropped the tailgate he would make a quick round and if he came back within 5 minutes or so you might as well load up and move on because there wouldn't be any hogs in the vicinity.
