A lot of the old timers down this way would add pointer (English or German), for that little extra go to them. They seemed to tolerate the heat of S. Florida a little better. You have to be carefull because too much and they would be land crocs! lol

T-Dog that awesome you have a small crew that seem to think alike and breed alike. That’s damn hard to come by these days. I’ve tried a few times with my livestock dogs and I’ve been burnt enough it makes it hard to trust these days. I just wanted a pup back but that seems to much to ask but it’s ok for me to drive sometimes 4 hrs and give them a completely trained dog free of charge and never asked for gas money either. I’m working on getting my Florida curs back going after being out for some years. I swore I was retired as most my kids didn’t show much interest if any but now my step daughter is everything a Dad dreams of so I’m back both feet in again. All brakes no gas. In my opinion T-Dog if you have the good traits from the hounds bred into your line and good cast dogs and by cast in my opinion if they aren’t going a mile they aren’t casting you can be above average hunting anywhere in the country with your dogs. No they might not bang straight out the box but a few days hunting somewhere they going to put it together.

Cajun has to T-Dog as I feel he’s producing some damn fine dogs from what I can tell or he has the ability to feed and hunt far more then the average but I also feel he’s more honest with himself them the average dog man as well.

I’m going to have to get your number T-Dog. I’ve got plenty of offers to hunt GA as we seem to make the trip quite often these days with my kids living in SC real close to the northeast corner of GA and some buddies in middle GA. They drive me nuts trying to get me up there on a regular basis to hunt or want me to send my daughter to stay so she can get some hunting in. I’ve actually got some damn good connects in GA these days for being a southwest FL boy.

You’re right Cajun a lot like putting a little pointer in them. In my opinion the only pointer worth feeding is an English haha but I’ve thought about it quite often and the way a pointer hunts and efficiently covers ground I see why one would want to. They have pretty good wind and seems to tolerate quite a bit of temperature differences and recover quite well I think. To me it would have to be some field trial stock you need a horse to hunt behind

Birdslayer, I’m in Texas. I’m right on the the line of being considered central or east Texas. My buddy, Sexsquatch as we call him is in Georgia. He has some nice dogs. He definitely knows what he likes and he definitely doesn’t tolerate anything that doesn’t fit the bill.

I was listening to the Dixie Doggers podcast today and the guest they had on today done let the secret out and let the world know Mr Cauley has the real deal plotts. Damnit I haven’t even had the chance to get one yet and I bet his phone blows up now. I’m gonna have to get on Mr Joey about what he lets some of his guest talk about.

[HIGHWATER KENNELS]

LOL.....I think that feller is behind the 8 ball on that info man,,,   Thats like saying they just found out Joe Biden lied....  HEHEHE

[t-dog]

They’ve been kicking the door down on those Bayou Cajun dogs for a while, from
all over the world I might add.

I know they are well known but I’ll bet his phone rings more than he wants it to now. The ones that didn’t know damn sure know now.

  The good thing about where we hunt in Wisc. was there was no phone siganl. Zip, nada. If I needed to make a call I would have to head for the highway about 2.0 miles away. Verizon just didnt work out there. Most peacefull 2 1/2 weeks you can spend. Another reason I cannot seem to catch up on pups is I normally keep 1 or 2 and then might give my buddies some when they need them. I have never sold a pup to a hunting buddy and I used to give more away. About 7 or so years ago I gave a young kid that wanted to get started hog hunting 4 pups. A month later they were on FB, Bayou Cajun Plott pups for sale. That will sure put a bad taste in your mouth. All that being said, they are just dogs and I have my share of culls too.

[Birdslayer86]

It is so peaceful when you have no cell signal. I recently deleted all social media which wasn’t much to begin with as I didnt have face f&$k (Facebook) and I’m not going to lie yea I miss seeing some posts at times but everyone I truly care about I have there phone number and it’s been the best thing I’ve done in a long long time. The wife even deleted all hers and she’s even made the comment it’s actually truly peaceful. Well duh. Mr Mike those comments are what have given you the success you have had and continue to have with them hounds and what makes you a true dogman. Most people breed to chase a $$ and with you that’s absolutely not the case. Your breeding for your own using purposes and the love of the hound and the betterment of what your breeding to make a difference in the breed. I can absolutely relate to helping a youngster or just someone in general. I own and raise some roosters and I have some livestock guardian dogs that I’ve traveled all over the southeast obtaining that were bred born and raised on rooster yards and I normally buy or get every puppy I can from a litter. I keep what suits me and works cull the ones that just don’t and have raised 1 litter of pups. I’ve driven states away to gift someone a pup or finished dog because they did there job just not the way I liked. My only stipulation was I want a pup back or a pair of pups back. To this day I’ve yet to receive a pup back so I truly have a bad bad taste in my mouth when it comes to these dogs and have a damn hard time trusting someone’s word. To many people today just don’t have the same level of respect and morals I was raised on and don’t take a hand shake as serious as I still do.

[t-dog]

Y’all are spot on. My buddy King Smitty and I had this very conversation this morning. I will tell y’all that this man had a litter of pups out of a gyp from my family of dogs. He ASKED me what I thought he should breed her back to. I hooked him up with another friend hunting the same family. When they hit the ground he let them have their pick of the litter. There were only two females which is what I told him I wanted when he asked if I’d like to have one. He was going to give me the second female even though a female was his sole purpose in raising the litter. I declined her of course. I couldn’t have done that to him. Point is, he’s a good hunter, an eager to learn dog man, and an upstanding man. He’s the kind I want in my circle. My old family of bulldogs ran out because I just couldn’t keep the numbers I needed for the breeding program. If I had had the circle I have now they would still be here. I can’t stand to see people do stupid and unfair to quality animals. Hunt them starved, no water or shelter, won’t worm, hunt them without any gear, get them cut all up hunt after hunt and then when the animal has reached a breaking point they get mad and cull it! Nah, not with me. I can’t tolerate it. The same kind of people usually standing there with 5 of them taking pictures or videoing while the dog’s hanging on with all they have. 4 of you put the phone down and help the dogs and you can all watch the one video. Technology is really neat too, you can share the video these days. THEN, they gotta show everyone on every social media site how macho they were. No regard for what might be seen by some tree hugging reader that has zero clue about what they are looking at. SEE, Y’ALL DONE GOT ME UP ON THIS SOAP BOX!

He’s purdy judge! You need to breed him to a border collie/lab cross. It works great sometimes!

Well Cajun don’t let some young wannabe ruin us younger crowd for you. We’re few and far between but there is a small crowd of young guys that respect the dog game and are trying to keep it and good stock alive.

 Yeah Mike I had that happen in times past so now only the folks I know real well get them without buying them and they know it is keep him-kill him- or bring him home, unless its a  mature dog they hunted and made, then I wouldn't feel hard about them selling it.
Another thing I don't like is for the pup not to ever get a chance, but if they bought him then it's not any of my business.

[Cajun]

Clue and anyone else in Ok. Hope y'all are ok. Heard about several tornadoes hitting in y'all's area.

For a update on those three pups, they all made the grade. The pup in the blue collar who I had originally named Flint but I changed his name to Chief. He has just had bad luck all the way around. He got shot up there while baying a bear. The hunter was sure all the dogs were in the front and it was so thick he couldn't see Chief right behind the bear. Bear was broadside and the bullet went through and broke his leg. Vet put it back together but we do not know if he will be able to run again.
  Sassy did all you could expect and really shined one day by trailing out a bear and getting it jumped ahead of the young dogs. She ran it 5.77 miles before treeing it. Not bad for a 14 month old pup. And has some 20 year plus old Seman from my old Trapper dog. She came in heat last month and we AI her. She is starting to show so I think she is bred.
  Rip did everything right. Heck of a tree dog, fast and gritty. Wish he had a little more nose, he seems to be just medium nosed.

[t-dog]

Cajun what made you select this young gyp to use a straw on?

  Actually Andy did. I sold Trapper to Andy's Dad way back when because I got hurt and couldn't work for a while. Trapper would be in the top three Plotts I have had in 40 years. Sassy has Trapper and his littermate sister probably 10 or 11 times in her pedigree. She has done exceptionally well from 8 months old when we started her on hogs and continued through bear season. Real catchy dogs normally do not live long on hogs so when she came in heat during kill season Andy brought it up. Andy is a extremely hard bear hunter and knows what he likes in a dog and Sassy fit the bill. Anyway it was a chance to bring that Trapper blood right back in to my breeding program. We will just have to wait and see if it works or not.
