Well heck... I meant to add hunt in there. I was asking you to repeat that part about them not hunting. Tell me what that looks like in the woods. Thanks fit the thread! I've read your posts before and wondered what you had going on down there!
Sorry man.....missed your question earlier.
Out of six separate males we have currently that are under this umbrella. There are two that will actually get out and hunt a little. Both of these will typically catch anything under bout 220 alone but have been backed up by a sure baddun. Together they will catch a grizzly. I class these two as Rcd or Poacher style dogs.
The others are zero bark....straight in and hit. Haven't got these to back up at all yet. Down side is minimal hunt....as in they don't. So we classify these as lead in dogs.
All honor a bay or they dont get a second chance to prove it.
Gotta understand......these are complete experimental dogs. Room for improvement ...harsh criticism ....and Skeptism is what we do everyday with them to see if they are worth keeping or continuing to fool with. Reaching out for more views and thoughts. We may even send a few out to the field for opinions when I think the combo is dependable and solid.
So far we are around two years into this project and we have been very happy. To the point the bulldogs that my partners keep are staying at the house regularly and are in danger of losing their job permanently.
Thanks for everyones thoughts. Very welcomed and appreciated. Look at this a think tank post. Continue with thoughts or concerns. Both help.
