I am looking for an older dog that is sure nuff the real thing for my deal. First, it needs to get along with younger male dogs, second, it needs to be able to find a hog and bay it up til the pups get there to help. Third, it has to be trash broke, no exceptions. Fourth, he has to be short to med range at the most. Fifth and foremost, it needs to be silent on the track till he's looking at the hog. He can or doesn't have to catch, just hold them and keep the hog from breaking til the pups or I get there with a lead-in, which he wont have to wait long. Sixth, he'll need to leave my mule alone while we're hunting. I am sure there are these kind of dogs available, and this is the best place to find one I figure. Ive never had to use a tracking system and although a handy gadget for them long range dogs, I really don't want one, unless its the kind that I can send an electrical "NO" to a distracted pup. My comfort zone is to hunt in about 300 yds to 1/4 mile circle, unless down on the river. I would prefer the dog to be Catahoula, BMC, Lacy, even crossed with a little Plott or Walker, as long as they're quite til they get on a hot track. If anybody has one that might fit this deal, holler at me and we'll talk about it. Since I mention an older dog, he doesn't have to move fast, just steady. He needs to be in good health and have all his business teeth. I hunt at night in the winter and daytime in the spring and fall, several times a week, so he cant be over the hill on his last leg. Hit me up and lets see what happens. PS. This dog will be for me and for me only and will not be sold, gave away, or culled. That's why I am posting all the particulars now to avoid any BS down the road. Also, I'll want to try him with the owner in the woods with cash in hand, so we'll both know what im looking for, if this post isn't specific enough. My number 806-626-6683, I am up most nights and afternoons, so if I don't answer, i'll call back. My email is
bootheel@live.com and is checked daily and first thing of the morning, if you want to send pics. Thank you all and thank you ETHD. Also, thanks for all the advice and experiences yall share on here.
