[t-dog]

Yeah I don't mean to insinuate ben had Mt. Curr in him. I tried a few Ben bred dogs and  didn't have much luck. I took them all back and wound up with a dog that he had gotten directly from John Gay. He told me that he wanted to use that blood to breed more hunt back into his stuff. This dog would sure enough go. From the first time I took him he hit the ground with his feet on fire. We would catch hog after hog and he was never at a single bay. We'd be done and call and call and he'd never show, this was before I had a tracking system. I would leave a shirt and come back in a couple hours and he would be there with it and completely spent. So the last time I hunted him, we were done and sitting at the truck talking and we hear yip yip, yip yip coming towards us. There was an old abandoned barb wire fence about 20 yards from us and the top wire was only about 8 or 10 inches off the ground. We hear brush cracking and the tipping is very close. All of a sudden a doe comes out of the brush dragging her tongue. It was all she could do to get over that barb wire. I ran over to where she came out and out came the dog. I didn't even whoop him. I knew right then that he wasn't for me. He was fixing to catch tha doe. She didn't have 5 minutes left in her. If he was that serious about deer I didn't want to fool with trying to break him. He wasn't my physical type either. Shorter leg, long bodied and a thicker build. He was a good natured dog but not for me. That's where I stopped trying registered black mouths right then. I hunted with an old gyp up in Jacksonville that was really nice. Poor or mud fat, cut up or healthy she was the same hard hunting stay hooked, hog minded dog every trip and she had a good mind and disposition. I think the best yella dog I've ever hunted with. Her brothers and sisters were all nice dogs. Some on hogs some on cows. There are good ones and bad ones in every color or breed, long or short tailed.
