John,

Are those Chucks line?

They look good.

[sfboarbuster]

No they are just out of some cowdogs down around 'chobee. He lost one of them a few months ago, but the other one is the real deal. We've been trying to find something for him to breed before he gets killed.

Heres my two pot lickers

Rooster.  Lightsey ranch lines on momma's side.  10 months old, kinda started..


Jack. Out of Cowdogs from Labelle  bout 6 finished out.  Retarded and fat now, from not hunting much this past year.


Tipper RIP.  Out of Lake Okeechobee Dogs.  Best dog ive ever had.  At 9 years old she was out striking most peoples younger finished dogs..  If she barked it WAS a hog, and if it was under 200 or she had help you only got two barks!

I definately don't claim to be an expert on them, but have owned them for about the past 30 years. I do know this, they are a varied bunch!! There are more families or lines of Fla curs than any other type of cur I would bet.  They come all sizes, all colors, all tail lengths, all different builds, etc. Most have at least some bulldog in them way back...some not so far back. My dogs are cow dog bred. I managed ranches for about 13 years and the last ranch I was on for 7 years we ran 500 crossbred cow/calf pairs. The dogs I have now (with the exception of Monkey) is the same blood we used to pen and work the cattle. I got Monkey as an outcross to the dogs I already had.

Monkey is pure "Partin Cur"...whatever that is. I was at Mike Partin's house about 10 years ago trying to get my old Dixie female bred to his Stubby dog (but she didn't take, she had cancer and I didn't know it at the time), and I asked him about the "Partin Curs". Now there is a whole tribe of Partin's down around St. Cloud FL, all of them cattlemen and from generations of cattlemen. When I asked Mike, he said "shoot, they are just cur dogs". Neither he nor I could figure out why 75% of people that get a Fla cur try to pawn it off as a Partin cur. Mike had 5 dogs at his house. Stubby (who like Monkey hated people), a black and tan son of Stubby, a spayed old female and two 4 month old pups sired by the black dog and out of a dayworkers female. Doesn't sound like he was in the business to mass produce dogs does it?

Monkey came from Mike's relative, Roy Partin's dogs. All the dogs, like all the Partin's are related somewhere along the line. They trade pups back and forth as they are needed. When one has a litter, the pups usually go to family members who need them. At least, that was my understanding. Thats why the dogs are hard to get. They go to family members first.

Here is a pic of Monkey along with a whole pile of people from this forum...Monkey was on his best behavior for this pic. He HATES people around my truck....

Another pic of Monkey


This is my Spur dog, sired by Monkey and out of an old cow dog of mine named Chelsea.

This is Scarlet. Sired by a south Fla red cur named Bob and out of my Red female. Red and Spur are half brother and sister.

Two pups sired by Monkey out of my JJ female. JJ is a littermate to Red and a half sister to Spur also.

This is Cricket, my $20 dog..... She goes back to Judge Platts dogs on the top and some Overstreet ranch dogs on the bottom. She is unrelated to my other dogs and is ROUGH.


Like all the other curs there are good ones and bad ones in any family. Be sure the dog is what you are wanting to produce before you breed to him. I would venture to say that the Fla curs produce more rough catchy dogs , percentage wise, than the other cur lines. Just my opinion......

crackerc thats is one good looken $20 dog

Mark,

The fact that Monkey is human aggressive...do you not consider that a genetic flaw?

Personally, that's one attribute that I will not tolerate.  The first time a dog shows a hint of unprovoked aggression around me (or especially around my kids), he/she won't have to worry about having a chance to prove itself as a hunting dog!

Bryant, I have to admit two of the three yella "Fl Curs" Ive had as an adult were "human aggressive" so to speak.  I like you wont tolerate a dog aggressive to me or my family, however like mark's dog mine dont want no one around my truck when they are loaded up.  In the yard is another thing.  If i come in the yard with you your fine, if you come in while im in your not.  If you come in and im not your SCREWED!    None of mine are aggressive towards me, my family and most importantly my son, instant cull!  I dont mind them protecting the yard, house and the truck.  If i hunt with someone they dont know it only takes ONE correction for them to figure out its ok.  Usually i just have to raise my voice.  Its a trait I kinda like.  And most that know me and hunt with me know i dont like people messing with my dogs unless i ask for  the help.  They also know i wont let the dog be aggressive with someone who belongs.

I understand what your saying...but what about that neighbor who perhaps has family down for Thanksgiving and their 5 year old son sneaks out of the house and just can't resist the urge to come pet the "puppies".  Just because the dog was being protective of it's domain...does that make it okay?

Or you run in a convience store with said dog chained in the back of a truck.  Someone walking by reaches in to pet the dog and is bitten.  Now you can say he/she shouldn't have been reaching in the back of the truck or whatever, but I don't think I have to tell you how TODAY'S judicial system will view the incident.

Everyone's business and can do as they like, but I'm just not willing to take that risk.

Bryant your absolutly right, and i understand what your saying.  I have a 6 foot privacy fence around my yard and keep my dos in pens.  My one neighbor hates me for having hunting dogs and calls the law every, and i mean EVERY da about them being outside.  I also dont chain my gdogs in my trucl i keep them in the dog box and ive had an issue with someone reaching into the box to pet my old GYP when she was alive.  She like i knew she would bit the tree hugger who called the law.  After filling out my statement she was arrested for burglary to a conveyance (truck, car etc.).  I wouldnt have pushed that issue and i even made sure paramedics responded for the bite.  BUt that fact is ive done everything i can to prevent someone who shouldnt be bit from being bit, but if your dumb enough to reach into a dog box to pet a dog thats growling at you well.... maybe we should cull the gene pool some..

He knew what the lady beside him was capable of.  That chick carries a tacklebox with sick and sadisticle items in it.  Why do you think Chance is always on his best behavior.  I've seen what she can do with a needle and thread.  She's dangerous to be around.

The old line of cur dogs my family owned and used were just like what Mark said about Monkey.  I was raised around those type of dogs and I personally don't mind the trait.  I understand that alot of people cull for it, I don't, but I don't consider it human aggressive as much as a one man dog and being protective.  Its something I live with that many people refuse to.
