My main dog did the same to me sat. When i meet up with some friends they already had a hog bayed and my red dog would not go to them. If a dog bays and he dont go i can tell him to get to them and he will go. This is the first time he has done this in the three years i have had him. I think it might of had something to do with him not bein turned out with the other dogs.

These dogs have not been run with anything outside the pack for over a yr now.
So they really should know the strike dogs enough to know its a real bay.
I left the hounds at home last night and caught 3.
How do you take 2 dogs the caliber of these hounds and take them out off the team and start catching hogs again and all dogs going to work and striking,baying,catching.
I have built my entire team around these two dogs.
Im still scratching my head.

What you tried worked so dont doubt yourself. When this heatwave lays you can put the hound right back in the mix. Those curs are not stupid, they know that the hounds dont operate the way they want to when it is this hot.

I think a lot of us learned something...  Hog hunting can be a challenge more often than not. |

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...

My .02 is you should just be patient, if they were getting it done on a regular basis for 2 yrs and have had two bad outtings big deal, they will get back to their old form in no time..if not then cull but its to early to do it now. Your plotts probably quit the hog because there is no way to track in this heat.

Turned out again yesterday evening at 5:45pm with only the curs. Had 3 tied by 8:30. All dogs hunted their butt s off. I took my 1 yr old gyp thats just started and she ran step for step with the lead strike dog needless to say I was very impressed.  I guess im going to have a hound team and a cur team. |
