Well if it comes across as if I am trying to push my opinion down someones thoat then I apologize. Its not my intentions. I don't expect or care to change anyones opinion. I'm just interested in the discussion and debate. I don't mean any hard feelings and when its all said and done its just differences of opinion. We are all hogdoggers and need to stay united when it comes to what matters.
Big Ben....Thats very interesting what you mentioned about the man who works cattle with Curs and hunts hogs with Plotts. I to would be interested in knowing why.
Reuben.....beleive it or not good cowdogs need to have hunt to some degree or another. It depends on the terrain how much is needed. You can get by without it, but you wont have very good sucess at getting ALL the cattle out of the pasture if it has very much brush in it. The guys I know that make a living doing it would not consider one a good well rounded cow dog if it didn't have hunt. They do focus on breeding for handle and its handle that makes the dog stay in close..... not lack of hunt. But they have to have hunt or you wont be able to send them hunting for cattle that are hiding in the brush. Lots of people including my self have taken Cur dogs from good cowdog stock and make solid hogs dogs, hunt and all.

Waylon, I will let ya know his exact answer when he messages me back and I think you might know who Im talking about. Hope my comment about pushing opinions down others throats didnt affend you as it was not directed towards you at all, its just I see folks on here all the time that will argue til they are blue in the face when in reality all it is is an opinion and they think their opinion is the only one that is correct, the ole sayin opinions are like buttholes, everyone has one and most of them stink serves very true on the ole www.
