the single BEST dog you have ever owned or hunted behind

I have had a yard full of pretty good dogs...but I had one that fascinated me on a regular basis...started out at 10 weeks and on the day he disappeared he showed out...had some dogs strike a track and couldn't line them out...Yeller cut in the rice field and was working a cold track that all the other dogs passed up on the way to the woods...yeller worked the track for about 30 minutes and he comes back out...we get in the truck and follow him to where the other dogs are trying to line out the track...as usual he cuts in and in 5 minutes he is about 3/8 of a mile in the woods baying a hog...last time I saw that dog...the difference between him and the other best dogs I had was the brain power he had...when he was ten months old he hunted hard and smart...when he was 6 years he hunted smart first and only as hard as was needed...

another dog I remember was a dark yellow bmc named nugget...I could have bought him for 325 back in the late 1980's...he hunted pretty good but was one stop a hog right now kind of dog...he was awesome at rolling over to the next hog...cut it from the pack and that hog would be backed up to a tree or bush...nugget would be nose to nose and had the prettiest chop mouth you ever heard that could be heard for a mile...he opened 3 times when he struck a track and the next time you heard him he was bayed...he was sold to this hunter because he was a bay buster but I would take that dog anytime over any other type of hog dog...

I bought one that was sold because he was a bay buster as well...was not a great hunting dog but when he teamed up with yeller together they caught their fair share of hogs...I put my dogs on a big hog track we had seen before and the pack struck and stopped this big hog 3 times in hearing range and went out of hearing...got part of the pack back that night except for Killer and Yeller...never saw killer again and Yeller I got back 3 weeks later and he had some pretty good cuts that were healing...got my tracking unit right after that...

I have never ever enjoyed hunting with any dog like I did hunting with Yeller...
