bigo.i like wat u said about never to hot,cold,wet or dry for your dog to perform,ive always said u dont have to make excuses for good dogs they get the job done.i hate to hear excuses about a dog for not performing.if a dog dont like to hunt at night,or is shy around people or other dogs they just are not number ones u dont have to make excuses for the great ones.
I believe that the heavy coat that shows up sometimes in Bigo breeding actually helps the dogs in the heat and briars, it is hard to believe it but it really does help. The only time that I had the pleasure to hunt with Dot it was a freezing azz morning, the ground was froze solid. We drove the mule about a mile in this place, seen some rooting that was froze over on the way there not worth putting down on. Bigo sent Dot and Bear into this thick patch, When Bigo sends his dogs they go the direction he points everytime. Dot was not having it, she spun around and went back the way we come, she was running the road like a pup. Bear headed with her, stopped and looked back to see if he was gonna get in trouble. Not a minute later that ole dog was bayed solid on a group of big hogs. There was absolutley no breeze so I know she didnt wind them from the box, she smelt the scent from the frozen rooting from the box. It blew my mind and then on I was gonna get me some of these dogs no way around it. I just wish I would of found Bigo a few years earlier to see her in her prime. Oh yea we ended up with a boar around 250 that almost had me for breakfast.
