Good looking dogs guys, keep the pics coming!
Mike, they used to do the same thing down here in Fla. Up until the 1950's there were no fences in Fla, it was free range for cattle and hogs. After they fenced in the cattle, the hogs still ran everywhere and they had "hog claims" where you had a tract of land that you owned the hogs on and you caught and marked your hogs. But they were still free range and the old Fla guys used dogs to find and catch them to be marked, castrated, etc.
Also its funny that you mentioned about Blue and crowds. Dixie had that very same trait. If you took a couple of strangers hunting with her she acted totally different, wouldn't hardly hunt to start with. She always had to sort of get to know you before she would hunt right. But she wasn'y ever shy, just would kind of hang around to start with and size everyone up I guess.
Some of the old Fla dogs came leopard color too, in addition to about every other color. I am sure the Fla dogs are crossed up six ways from Sunday if you could go back in their bloodline far enough and look.
Noah, I look forward to seeing your dogs. That Shiner dog sounds like she may be right up my alley....
That Daisey Blue female seems like she was real popular out there and was a good dog. Anyone ever get any good pups from her?
