I call it a dog with stick but most call it bottom. dogs that don't have the bottom need the track to be hot or they need to see the hog on a regular basis. If the going is rough these dogs give it up. If the hog gets in a thick briar patch the dogs that lack bottom will give it up and look elsewhere. I like a dog that sticks and does all it can to stick with the track and put a hog at the other end of those tracks. Some of these dogs will die of heat exhaustion because of stick or bottom. That is my interpretation of bottom...
TexasHogDogs, I like the bottom I just described above but it is not feasible anymore. Like you said...these dogs will get us in trouble...Just like we said on another thread...need to breed dogs with more stopping power and I suspect it will breed out some of that stick to a track no matter what kind of dog. I mean the dog will lose some of that bottom but hopefully we can catch hogs without having to go five miles in the thick stuff... |

Reuben Thats were am at now trying to breed more stopping power with a little less distance I guess I should say cause I like stick in the briars and all the ruff stuff the distance on a track its just different to me and thats what am trying to cut down on, know what I mean . Am like you Reuben I call it stick. I just bred my old Blu gyp to a bulldog I think a lot of hopeing this works out well and later on take some of these and go into some of my main dogs trying to cut down on some of the sticking distance out of these dogs . Am sure she is gonna have a bunch so if you would like to try one its on me . This ole gyp is the Queen and the King of this yard.  |

I once had a race for 45 days. The only way my dog stayed alive was drinking his own sweat and taking bites of meat from the hogs hind end. He finally broke the hog down enough to stop him.
I finally arrived with my chopper to haul the dog and hog out. That is when I realized....that wasnt the same hog we started a month and half earlier. That hog was black with brown split hairs. This hog was black with brown unsplitting hairs.

TexasHogDogs, thanks for the offer and I will keep you in mind. I just bought a 7 month old half pit 1/2 redbone and he is a nice looking black pup. I also just bred a kemmer gyp this morning so will be dog poor before too long...   That half redbone is really nice and I like him. |

Do you think maybe he shed his old split brown coat, just growed new brown hairs that had not split yet since it was over a month time frame?  |

Yea the country I hunt is solid prickly pear or briars. There is a little open country. But hogs dont run across it when a dog is after them. I know some guys say they got dogs that know when to get rough and can turn a hog. If mine could get there lips on one that was running they probably would. But when they get to one that they can bay. They dont dare give him a reason to cut out again by bitting on him. They just want Dad to bring them some help.

The longest race I have seen was in Dec of 2008. We started off early in the evening and ended up 15.5 miles from where we started. Had the boar bayed up 4 or 5 times. We ended up catching him a town over from the start the next morning.
I know that I hunt many different styles depending on the terain but when I can let the dogos run we do not have this problem very often. My dogos do not have as much bottom as my BMCs have but they dogo do not need it normally
