Yellowdog. A buddy of mine was short a bay dog, so I let him borrow her for a weekend hunt he was going on. The story he gave me was "We were headin back to the truck at about 10 am, dogs got on a big sow, she took off runnin. Most of the dogs stayed with her for about 1/2 a mile, then 3 of the 4 bay dogs got hot (it was June) and quit. Lacee didn't know what the word quit meant, and also didn't understand "bay" LOL, she wore a vest cuz she would honor a bay for about 10 mins, but if you didn't get there with the CD, she would grab her a bite and keep it stopped.... Lacee never stopped runnin, literally, until her heart burst. The guy said he was about 200 yards away tryin to keep up, and one min she was runnin, the next she piled up. By the time he got to her, she had already stopped breathing. He took the vest off her, and left her laying.

To say the least, no one, not even my dear sweet momma, will ever take my dogs huntin without me.
