Great story and pictures goose! I have no truly finished dogs, I’m fairly new to this sport with just a few years under my belt and I was blessed to have a knowledgeable man take me under his wings and give me the opportunity to own some good dogs. I don’t have any finished dogs, but I have some well started dogs that do pretty good and find pigs. My main strike dog out of that group is 1/2 BMC and 1/2 pit. The BMC is his daddy, Ladner bred, cold nosed, open on track, and more bottom than most want. You’ll chase that dog for 12 hours and 10 miles before he gets one of these runners to bay up. The momma was Wooten bred, Old game lines, RCD. There were three litters from that cross and almost every dog turned out good. They’re all silent on track, and straight catch. I have a male and female, the male is my favorite dog. He hangs out within 300yds unless he strikes a track. Normally he won’t go past 800-900yds on one, but I think that’s just because he still needs more time and experience. I had him on easy pigs for a while and he would catch them quick. So I think he’s got the mindset now that if he doesn’t catch them quick he can quit and try for another pig. But he’s really becoming a good dog for me and I will end up breeding off of him. I’m thinking about crossing him with some type of hound to bring out a colder nose and more bottom
