Just checkin' in!!!!

[Noah]

Hope yall have been doin' good!!! Been real busy working, spearfishing, and huntin'... just been too slack to do the forum thing lately

Me, Lee, and crew been puttin' a whoopin' on some hogs lately... Chub and Snappa are back in good form from their last beat down, and Snook is coming along great!  At 6mo she just bayed her own hog today.... BAYED... not caught... I LIKE IT!!!

And now for the BIG NEWS...................  SHINER IS PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally got her ass bred after almost a yr of no heat cycles... stressful, long distance breeding, that almost didn't happen.... she's due somewhere around July 20th and showing well now.... hope it's a big litter!!!!

Got me a new CD prospect too......


Put a couple more pics up here in a bit...

Good to see you're still around Noah! Where's the diving pictures?? Nice prospect!

[Noah]

"Bucho" is what I'm calling him... 3yo male, completely unsocialized, zero training, never seen a hog, and likes to fight.... "SURE I'll try him!" ...  Joshua of La Historia Dogos contacted me after seeing my # on this site, told me about the dog, and asked me if I'd like to try him... As you can probably imagine, taking a 3yo male Dogo away from the only master he'd ever known was a "little interesting"....

Wasn't real sure if I'd be able to get him to come around... but after a couple weeks of TLC and hard training.... he's coming around to my way of thinking!!!   Real neat(but odd..) dog.... Not agressive(except for the first time I met him...), but just a real quiet dog... Shy, but only because of the lack of socialization.... Been dragging him through some chit and he's really starting to finally relax good.  Wanted to make sure he trusted me and had some handle before testing him on a hog... which we did today....

Seth had a young CD he wanted to test on a rank boar Chub caught for us last week.... after a stiff right cross from the hog... "Tank" was ready to tag his team mate Bucho in for round 2



Ol' Bucho didn't need to be told twice.... for his first hog ever, he knew just what to do.... good genetics makes life so much easier!!!!



At over a hundred pounds, the big problem I see is him making my hogs look small!   This dude is cool as a cucumber, he locked hard, had to be broke off... then went right back to "chill" mode when Lee led him away... NICE DOG!  Really looking forward to seeing him develope!

[joe]

I was wondering where you been

[raider54]

Noah, it is good to hear from you again, that is an awesome looking White Dog! Is he Dogo or Dogo Cross?
I know what you mean about a big dog. My AB/Dogo Max is about 130# and makes thos 150# hogs look like shoats....lol but is sure is nice to know that once they are hooked the hog aint gonna sling them around. Keep us updated on how he does and we look forward to hearing your future stories.  Paul

[Noah]

BigA, I'll try and scrape a few photos up for you... if I can find any that are internet friendly... Killed a LOT of fish lately....

Joe, went out to ol' DW's honey hole(that yall hunted) a few wks ago and met the bruise face killer been wreckin' chit.... let's just say my dogs didn't have to find him... he found us   This dude blew like a deer, then started bellerin' like a bull gator as we walked the edge of the grove... then came to us... Snappa saw him come out of the ditch and froze(she does have some brains )... even with me tellin' her to catch him...  Chub came flyin' to him, he broke and rolled out, they ran him for 15 min before dragging back....  I can honestly say it was the first hog I have ever been scared of....one of those "too" smart hogs that don't have no fear.... they still ain't caught him

Paul, he's straight Dogo, don't know much about Dogo blood... but I do know his father is "Mapucho de la Piedra Grande"(Los Medanos Kennel) and his mom is "Calandria de los Medanos".  Los Cazadores have a dog from the same stud evidentally... Anybody on here hunt with those folks?

hey noah, good to hear your doing good on the water, and nice pics. havn't seen more than kingfish and some peanut dolphin lately.

Whos shiner bred to? and how many people do you have in line for a pup?

[Mike]

Looks like a gator didn't get you!

The big white dog looks good.

[jdt]

good to hear from ya noah i was worried you got lost down there in one of them palmetta thickets

[BarrNinja]

Good to hear from you Noah. Nice prospect you have!

[chainrated]

Good pics..

[cajunl]

Mark told me you went and got a male and female. I am glad he is working out for you. And sounds like the price was right.  They do make hogs look small when 130# of dog is hanging off them. Mine walks and leads better than any bulldog I have had and leads to a bay but is not as easy to handle after the catch as that one.

Hope he works out for ya! cool pics.

[Cristina]

Good to see you back! That is a nice looking dog right there. I have one right now that is a beast, he hasnt caught a hog with me yet but gets hella crazy when he sees the hogs in my pen, If he wanted to he could have drag me behing him.

Keep us posted on him.

[Noah]

Bred Shine to a black and tan cow bred dog down south... he belongs to a friend of mine that, him and his family, been raisin' cow and hog dogs for a long, long time... in his own words..."he's the fastest dog we've ever seen".  He's a well built dog about 55#'s, EXTREMELY GRITTY... but will NOT catch a hog...  They use him by himself, with a walk in CD.  The only complaint about the dog is he makes it hard on catch dogs.... he stops hogs so fast, they aren't worn down at all, and a single CD can have his hands full if it's a bad one...  Dog's known to hamstring alot of hogs that won't bay... fine by me     Hopefully the cross works.... but you never know.

Gonna keep every pup till I see who's got the magic eye.... after that, Lee gets first pick for puttin' up with my ass all this time ... the rest will go to some old cattle men friends to test for all around ability.  Not selling any dogs... just want to make sure that enough of 'em get worked hard to see if they're worth a hoot  

I gave that female Dogo to Mark and Chris to work with... which they been slackin' on!   Hopefully Mark will put some shots of her working here soon!

Christina... I've been having nightmares about sliding on my face through the briars behind this dog... hopefully enuff training will prevent it

[Noah]

Looks like a gator didn't get you!

What gators?

[sfboarbuster]

Glad to hear you finally got her bred Noah.
You can't beat them b&t curdogs in my eyes. Keep us updated on em'

[crackerc]

Hey now, I was just the middleman on that Dogo deal!! I asked Chris if he wanted her, he said yes and its HIS dog...to train, handle and FEED!!  LOL

I bet those Dogos doubled you and Chris's feed bill ... 

Hope they work out for both you guys. I don't have any experience with Dogos and I don't want a 125 lb dog!!


Been too hot for me to hunt so my dogs are getting the summer off. Between the heat, active gators and snakes, just seemed the smart thing to do. 97 degrees with a heat index of 110 doesn't make for good dog hunting weather..........
