Thankyou BA-IV, yes, Snapps/Shine/Chub are all 1/4 english pointer(proven hog dog EP) 3/4 FL cur crosses...
They hunt hard and fast, lots of hustle...
excellent dogs for smaller properties... I can take these dogs and hunt a thousand acres all day... Mainly wind dogs/hot scent dogs... the older they get, the colder a track they'll take, but anything over an hour you can forget about... Excellent dogs if you woodsman enough to take them to the hogs and want to shut one down quick... perfect for me as I prefer a more "personal" experience to the hunt... kind of like bow hunting to a deer hunter...
These dogs run to shut one down, not to outlast him... loose some hogs this way, but catch plenty more to make up for it...
On the down side... can be too rough/head catchy... hard to relax with these dogs when the garmin says treed...

And 2 outa 3 will yip a bit once they jump, but closed mouth till bayed(I hate this, but the pointer brought that with it...)
Shine is the best of this cross, rough as hell but will bay a good one by herself all day long... not afraid of a bad one...
But the dogs that these dogs are out of are what I would consider "typical" FL curs... gonna try ta catch the bitch first and only if they get slung off bay... not what I want in my dogs but what my dogs are out of...
