Is it just me, or is there someone else on here that thinks the same way???
It aint just you Mark!
I like the way you are headed with your breeding and I think you may get were you want to be faster than you realize with the dogs you have.
I have been keeping up with TexasHogDogs since I have been on this board. In my opinion, judging from his post, I believe he has bred close to the best of both worlds in his dogs. Jim, I remember how excited you were in that thread about your young dogs baying that big boar just like you wanted! lol. Heck, I was celebrating with you! lol. Seeing the breeding pay off in your dogs has got to be a heck of a feeling!
Dogs bred like this (loose baying, just rough enough, etc, etc) in general, are the most productive hog dogs in my opinion. They just dont use themselves up on a few hogs like I have seen rough dogs do and they are very rarely nursing wounds and cuts. A few hogs in a hunt is fine unless you are hunting hog polluted farm country.
I have seen some fine rough dogs in my day. Flat out hog catching machines that I would feed and hunt right now. They just spend a heck of a lot of time on the injury list if they are still living is all.
The rough dog mans matto............Catch a hog, stitch a dog!
