You said it man exactly they are stock dogs they are not breed to hunt in anyway shape or form. A hound it is breed to produce meat. The dogs are stocks dogs and work well in the terrain of texas where there is a large number of hogs and it doesnt require a cold nose just speed, grit and determination. Seen some good yellas but ill take a hound anyday.
Wrong again.... Stock dogs that were bread by the settlers of texas did hunt! They were multi purpose dogs! They had to help tend the herds! Meaning hunt & find the cows not only hold them but be able to assist in driving long distances! These dogs also had to be able to put meat on the table! Squirrel, deer, coon, bear, big cats, ect... Hell if their really was a big foot it would be a yellow dog catch him! I don't even have any true yellows, but this is the working facts!

depends on what breed if you look at weatherford dogs history they are primarily breed to heard cattle and thats whatwe where talking about the other breeds like lander etc where breed more for hunting. What i meant was the yella dogs are breed to do all kinds of things not just hunt where a hound is strictly breed to hunt
