One of the best I have ever hunted with was a dog named orange a older man I hunt with use to own. He wasn't a long range hunter he usually just stayed in sight of the four wheeler which this old man road hunts so he liked that. He was a suppose to be a half bmc half Kemmer but that's not for sure. But this dog had a good nose and was a hell of a trail dog if he cut off the road or started acting hoggy he was going to bay that hog somewhere. Me and this man are good buddy's as i been hunting with him for years but before i had any dogs that was any count i would go get this dog and one more and go hunting my self. But this dog had bottom like it was unbelievable he would stick with one and it's been a many of days I hated that dog because I was ready to go home and he would still be baying hogs. He was a loose baying dog 100% silent on track if he barked he was standing still looking at it bayed if it broke he wasn't barking. But I've been all over this country chasing that dog and caught a pile of big hogs with him. Everyone of this dogs littermates turned out to be hog dogs that anyone would of loved to have. The same two dogs were bred numerous times producing not even good buzzard food so were really not sure what happen but the first litter were true hog dogs.

And I have one more I will tell about. This dog is another good friend of mines also. This dog is named jack he is a puppy off the above dog and a female jag out of Dixieland jags. He is still alive and he's a smaller dog about 35lbs but is a dog anyone would love to own a yard just like him. He's probably a Better trail dog than his daddy and hunts out a little farther and would stay with one til it was bayed somewhere he's a fun dog to hunt with I've seen this dog when he was young and all the older dogs come back on a big track it wouldn't be long he's have him bayed he's a little gritty but I have seen most of all this country over here where we hunt following these two dogs around in the woods it's always been a pleasure hunting with these two dogs. And it's weird how it worked out but all his littermates made fine hog dogs and he's the last one but they tried this same cross and never got anything  worth a count again. His daddy and  his littermates were fine dogs the following litters were culls and this jack dog and his littermates were super hog dogs and the following litters were nothing but culls. It's like everything went into the first litters and that was it . But it's been a lot of pups raised in hopes of just getting one more like them.
