bmc bloodline

[weller44]

Looking to get a pup out of good bloodline...any advice?

[YELLOWBLACKMASK]

Get with your local full time Hog Hunters and ask this question. They will be able to guide you to what your are lookin for possibly in your area. Or take out a loan and try one of the advertised lines. Plenty of good Yellers out there but most good lines are not for sale. Also get with the full time cowmen and take a look at their stock of yellers. They usually have older proven bloodlines that have been kept strait. Happy Hunting. Glad to see your lookin at Yellers.

I would look at the Ladner bred dogs. If they trail and kill a coon they will make good hog dogs and these are bred to hunt so this line is a proven hunting line. Just make sure you let them know you are wanting a hog dog pup so that they can try to match you with a good prospect.

Me and one other guy are the only hog hunters around here...I like to run BMC, he is pretty much straight mtn. Cur...I have couple good 2yr old male right now and a 4 month old pup that was out a real good line of cowdogs who has really impressed me on hogs...the only female I have right now has got a a little cat in her..just looking to get me a female out of a proven bloodline! Have heard a lot of good things about the ladner line!

Go hunting with the parrents, there are a lot of small dedicated breeders on this board, search them out and stay away from the cow dog puppy millers, good luck, i would look in east texas and la ark for a true strain not some crossed up because i too lazy to keep the strain bred correctly jker.

I like the right mtn cur too. The right ones can find hogs if there is one to be found and can hunt with the best of the hog dogs.

Ladners are prob the best out there for coons and hogs, i bought 9 from LH way back and dumped them right out of truck after 1000 mile ride, nothing wrong with them, LH has really brought the standard up for the breed with his strain, good to hear his son is carrying on the family tradition.  ONe of he best dogs i ever owned was a Ladner almost solid white dog that would hunt out a 1000 acre pasture in 45 minutes, you better be ready to ride when you turned him out, seemed like he would hunt lmost like a good foxhound, always on the run, winding and just rolling out looking or winding for sign, he loved to make a round in a 10,000 acre pasture off the hood too and check out all of the 25 windmills with small tanks that hogs would lay up in during the summer hot months.  He was stolen by a neighbor at a hog bay and hauled off to another state i found out years later, small world for sure.

Now that was a discription of what I call a good mtn cur or a good hog dog...

what area you from?

[weller44]

Albany, tx bout 30 min from abilene

[YELLOWBLACKMASK]

Sorry bro but don't have any Yeller contacts that far north Texas. Some boys cross the border in Okie has a good strain but don't know if they will sell. PM if interested

[mxoran]

I have ranch in Aspermont Texas, NE of Albany, lots of hogs out that way,and alot of trappers in my area,have seen a few guys with hog dogs passing thru when im out there. Not too far from you. Good luck on your search.

Weller44, I don't know how far you are willing to travel to get a puppy. I have a friend at Sherman who hog hunts and raises a couple of good lines of blackmouth curs. That's 200 miles from you. If that's not too far, send me a PM and I will give you his number.

I was on the same thinkin as rueben about the ladners and was about to go get a few, but talked to some guys that had been to his yard before L.H. died and said he had about 200 head on his yard. Thats a big turn around and go the other way for me, but I also have heard good things about the line.  So I dont know. 

I would like to have a few that i knew were bred right tho.

It just seems to me that if the only good yeller dogs are so well guarded, and such a big secret, that it would be useless to even try, unless you live in tx that is, which i dont.  so maybe ill just spend the next ten years weeding thru catahoulas.

TNHillbilly,

I think Bennet said he hunts ladner bred bmc... I would try to get one from him if I were looking for a hog dog. Ifladner had 200 dogs in his yard and if he were picking his dogs right then I just don't see a problem with that...

[tnhillbilly]

How could you possibly hunt that many dogs, to know which ones to pick from?  is what im getting at. 

[Oklahoma]

[tnhillbilly]
