[cward]

I have owned sveral that I thought was top notch and they were all raised by me exept for the first Ranbo was his name given to me as a pup from line breed dogs from my uncle!!!   No these dogs might not fit anyone else's program but they sure looked at a whole lot of hogs and cows!! And got pictures to prove it!!! Rambo smartest dang dog I ever had -- Cooter the best lead dog I have ever seen (on cows) --- Torbo ---- Speed brains can't even come close to describeing him could put enough heat on a running hog to make the hog pray from him to get of his butt----Titty baby they say if a dog ever had the devil in it thats her good as one came...Check made a wild bull yearling jump in the meter readers front seat of his truck!!! The Jakester every hunters dream dog wow he was good--- Ike is the only living son of Rambo left he gets the job done and you catch lots of hog in front of him but has his faults but looked at more pork than the local meat market....

All these dogs were out of rambo and every dog on my place has Rambo blood in it!!! Rambo was not breed by me but was given to me as a pup and I have kept his gentics going!!! And will probaly get seman pulled on Ike so that I can keep the Rambo blood close all the time!!!!

Chance,

 Dose the Rambo dog from your uncle go back to Big Boy Jr dog you uncle talked about ? Hair ?
  I'd sure pull semen today on one like that,  we've made that mistake and was sorry for it in the past.

I have had several good dogs and some I considered very good. But I had one that I raised in my back yard that was born great. At 8 weeks he was winding for treats as were the littermates but when I started running drags he led the pups around and he made it look easy. Before 12 weeks of age he could run a drag that had loops and figure eights. I quit running drags when he even followed a double back track that I finished in a 5 gallon bucket.

He was striking hogs before 6 months of age and at 1 year of age could hunt with the best. I could write a book on this dog. I have had some real good dogs but none like yeller. He just knew where to find a hog and quick. When I dropped the tailgate he would make a quick round and if he came back within 5 minutes or so you might as well load up and move on because there wouldn't be any hogs in the vicinity.

Have two dogs that have her blood still. I should have listened to you and we should have bred her back to one of her uncle's. If you ever have more of this lineage need to let me know. She was a great dog and I was proud to own her.

Her name was Lacee. I got her by accident. Was walking around a rodeo and saw a guy with the prettiest blue puppy that I had ever laid eyes on. We got to bs'ing and he mentioned that he had that pup and his full sister there for a buddy of his who had decided that he didn't want the pups and he jokingly (I thought) said that his mom was gonna shoot him if he brought the pups home so I laughed and teased him bout me already having 4 dogs, 3 horses, a goat, and a few feral cats, so I didn't see how two more pups would hurt... Wwweeelllll, 45 mins later I got back to my truck, and there were two pups in the bed, the guy's rig was nowhere in sight... Well long story short, the blue pup died, and Lacee became my lil girl. She actually saved me from lord knows what one time at a truck stop when a truck driver tried to corner me while I was lettin her pee, I bet the scars on his calf make him think before putting his hands on a chick holding a cur dog's lease again... I let a buddy borrow her as a 2 year old to use as a bay dog for one hunt, and she never came home. He said that she was the most natural bay dog he had ever seen. She had no quit, and if you didn't get there fast enough, she didn't mind putting her teeth on one, so he ran a vest on her. They got on a big ole sow that wouldn't stop running and Lacee kept after her, even after the other 6 bay dogs gave up and laid down. She literally ran until her heart burst, and when I found out she had died, well, my own heart shattered. It might be just a girl thing, but he searched until he found her, took the vest off her, and left her laying. I was, and still am TICKED.. I begged him to tell me where she was so that I could go get her and bury her, and he told me he couldn't even remember where she was....
