All of mine wind. I just ease around the woods & let em ride. Cover a lot of ground and they stay fresh. They bail out & it's game on  |

My best dog "bell" is a 2 1/2 year old bmc/pitbull mix. She is an awesome dog and is hog crazy but here lately has only been wanting to wind. She has never really hunted real far out but has always stayed 50-100 yards in front of me, but here lately she has been staying real close to me unless I put her on the box...she has an awesome nose and last time I went she winded one and went out 450yrds and caught him (150lb boar). Are some dogs only wind dogs?? I've never had a dog like this one shell hunt on the ground but not near as good on the box...has anyone else had a dog that would only wanna wind?
My strike dog only winds unless I get her on a real hot track then she will track 90percent of the time she will wind but If u get her on a hot track she'll take it she just hot nosed bud mine the same way. If you want one to take a colder track you need to get some hound in your blood line. |

Sparkydog, yeah I know what you mean. But I run a real rough pack of silent cur dogs and I don't think a hound would fit I'm with them.

Florida Curdog, I know what you mean! I caught one last night about 225lbs and my dog bell winded it off the box went about 250yrds and had him caught by the time we got in there. It's just an awesome way to catch hogs.

My dogs are all strictly wind dogs. They hunt from the hood of the truck. Trips to the bay are always usually pretty short, unless you get one bayed that doesn't want to stick around. Sometimes I think it would be handy to have one to stick there nose to the ground and work it out. Just because its frustrating when they come of the hood and run out there a couple hundred yards and then loose the scent in the wind.

if the dogs can pick up the hog scent from up on the hood and when they bail out they lose it just means that more than likely they are losing the scent once they get in the thick brush...You can help them out by walking into the wind with the dogs and they will eventually pick it back up... |

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...
A hunting dog is born not made...
