Newt dog for stud

I am putting my Newt dog out there available for stud. This is not a money deal, though I may want a pup or two out of a litter. In the past I have held this blood line pretty close but I just don't keep the number of dogs or hunt enough the make a very big impact on keeping the blood line around so I guess I gotta change my ways.

Cur gyps only. I would prefer them to be stock bred curs, atleast somewhere in the recent past. Newt is a medium-long range strike dog depending on your definition. He's out of some old line cur dogs from around Anderson. Has more bottom than I really want to deal with on these small places these days definitely need a radio tracker on him he will get out of pocket if run just a garmin on him. Has some finesse, will windmill groups but get tight on single hogs. Definitely not a bay buster. Will catch with other dogs but straight bay otherwise. Was a little rougher when I started him but he got wrecked a few times, learned and has let some of that go as he got older. He will roll out pretty nice if he is tuned up good but not quite as good as some of the better gyps ive seen over the years. He's got as much drive as a man could really ask for in a dog and has shown to pass that on to pups out of him. My dads main btch is out of him and my Snapper dog who I lost to kidney failure was a dang nice hog dog out of him. I also have a one eyed gyp littermate to Snapper who is pretty nice that I might breed to the right stock bred Cur dog. He definitely passes on the drive and bottom to his pups.

That's the good. Here's the bad.

He is a little mouthy on a hot track when he is fresh but nothing terrible. He could handle the heat better if you ask me I really gotta watch him when it gets hot or leave him at home as he will keep going until he overheats. He's got a bit of a bad attitude around other male dogs and even with me sometimes when I discipline him in the kennel or dog box. Definitely would not call him a family dog or pet, although I think I could have done a better job of nipping that in the bud when I was raising him. He could also have a better handle on him but I guess that kind of goes hand in hand with the other stuff. My Snapper dog out of him had a great nature about him and handled real nice for what that's worth.

I would prefer gyps that are stock bred and silent running, as I am wanting to move my dogs in that direction and bring out more of the handle, finesse and stock handling ability that comes with it. Don't really care if they are close range as long as they do hunt and find hogs or cattle. Handle, good nature, stock working ability, and drive are where its at for me. Stamina and heat tolerance are up there too. No jug heads, mutts, curly tails, running catch dogs need apply. Just Curs don't matter if they are black, yellow, red, brindle or leopard. Newt is black and tan in color.

PM me if you have any questions.
