@YBM if you have another litter, count me in! I would happily pay to have one shipped up here to get a reg ridgie out of hunting stock.
Man I don't fool with selling them anymore. I sold all my breeding stock with the five that went out. They were all solid dogs but the feed to keep em up was getting crazy and I was having to ask so much to make any profit just wasn't worth it. I have a friend in Galveston that has one of the gyps but she is a strait house dog. He may breed her one day if interested but I figure he will cross her back to show stock not hunting. If you are looking for performance I would hit Thomas up and try one. If I was in the catch dog market I would be calling myself. Thats the magic cross I have always liked hunting with. 1/2 and 1/2. For some reason I ever breed this gyp it will be crossed to bulldog and I will have plenty for sale.
