Reuben, as with bryant, i agree with ya on the part of the bs advertisement of nvr a cull n why out of all the other pups fathered by ben, why is it only 2 r well known. Nvr producing a cull is a crock of crap. Even though i own a few of that line, i always ask who ever gets a pup to keep me up dated on them n if they rnt worth a crap, giv me the dog back n it'll b added to bone yard. Iv gotten 2 culls outa this line, culls for hog usage, but the new owners r usin them on cattle n r happy with them, but yet they were culls for my usage
Charles...that is exactly what I have always said...too many cow dogs won't make hog dogs because todays average cow dog is a dog that wind mills and drives cattle to the pen...a cow dog that wants to roll out is a cull...and todays cow dog doesn't need a nose...and a hog dog needs to roll out and must have a nose...there are cow dogs that have to get deep in the woods or swamp to find cows but that is not the norm any more...
I did cross a hunting dog with a cow dog and got lucky and got the best of both worlds...I believe one can cross a good hunting dog with a good cow dog and select from there and get good to excellent hog dogs...ok...the crown and Canada dry has loosened up my tongue...
