Thanks fellas!

Cajun, do you know where the listed trait comes from?

Cracker, yessir my Bo Betty pups have bull dog in them, I’ve bred them away from that side and back towards the BMC side in hopes that I’ll take a little bit of the catch out. I used to love straight catch dogs but I’ve grown fond to having a dog that will back up and bay as long as the hog will stand there, but catch with others or with the bull dog. I have two pups that lived from that litter. I also went down to Louisiana on New Years and got two female pups from Mr. Larry Parker. I’m very excited about raising and starting those two. IF those pups all make the cut, I am looking at potentially crossing my male Bo Betty pup to both of those Parker females and then taking those litters together. Essentially just using the dogs I have been working for as the outcross to the parkers. I have loved the Bo Betty dogs but at the end of the day I won’t let kennel blindness or my own personal feelings to get in the way of producing better dogs. I have heard great things about Mr. Parker’s dogs, and I’ve heard that they tend to do well crossed over other lines. I’m hoping that if I do make that cross, my male will be tight enough bred that the variables I’m introducing to the parkers won’t be nearly as much as a dog that isn’t bred tight. Time will tell though, right now all I can do is hunt the young ones and give them the opportunity to make dogs, and then take it from there. My end goal though, is producing my own dogs that do things the way I like, and reproduce themselves consistently. I may get there one day, but time will tell.

Ranger has been one of the best dogs I’ve owned. Even at his age he has been hunting better and striking more pigs than a lot of the older dogs I’ve hunted with. Red isn’t as good of a dog so far, but he is also looking good for his age. If I could duplicate Ranger I would in a heartbeat, but unfortunately he’s so scatter bred that I doubt if I could ever reproduce him. His father is 3/4 BMC and 1/4 bird dog (it was a half bird dog outcross over a BMC line that produced him). His mother is 1/2 walker and 1/2 pit. I don’t know anything else about her background, I got her from a good buddy of mine as an older dog for training pups. I was out of a lead dog and he worked a deal for me to get her. She came in heat and I decided to breed her just to see what she would produce because I liked her and the male was young but was hunting good. So far it looks like about half the litter has been earning their feed. There were two culled but I never personally saw them, I was told they wouldn’t show interest in a pig. There are a few others that I can’t remember where they went so idk how they have been doing. My buddy has a littermate male that is coming on really nice as well.
