The original question asked "Does anyone breed these type of dogs anymore "
Very few actual breeders left of anything.
I would say as previously stated......just a few pockets of these dogs here and there. Very few are still activity kept and bred by the original guys that had them 20+ yrs ago when they were common as house cats up here.
I run across some every once in awhile, but hardly ever being activity bred and culled for a continued lines anymore.
My hunting partner Strikedogkennel has some I classify as these dogs out of some old Hardin County blood he acquired some years back.
They come straight YBM, short range and will catch a Sasquatch if he stands to fight.
I prefer the longer ranged colder nosed yeller dogs, but facts are facts with modern day hogs........either catch them immediately or have the bottom to run the air out of them. That's where these type dogs are nice to play with.
Small tracts and notorious runners sometimes require me changing my game. That's when I tell my buddy to grab the ole schools.
