Black Perry Dogs (UPDATE on 2nd Book!! 60 copies available)

[TShelly]

Nice Chris! I don't see it being a problem.. We see 20-30 hogs everytime your there lol Jodi runs a bunch of cattle and doesn't allow any hunting deer or running hogs but I don't forsee it being a problem if they happen to end up in there. He used to hog hunt back in his day and is always talking to me about it. Ill call him and speak to him directly if we ever get it lined out

Bighogtexasstyle,

The Winchester dog was an old brindle cur that goes back to the Winfrey's dogs out of Coldspring... which I believe goes back the Woodruff's stock.

i see so alot of dogs are showing this stock i appreciate you letting me know this,

Waylon the gyp I'm talking about is prob no relation. She was a red a white spotted looking (piebald) gyp. Very unique. He had a ton of hunt. Curtis Bennet 1st taught me how to hog hunt out at Woodruffs and other places and Jeff would bring her. Is the young "Hershey" Hershel Perry's grandson?

Yes

[Wmwendler]

Anyone who is intersted in the book.  They have it at Producers COOP in Bryan.  I've also heard they had it at the feed store in Anderson but I can't vouch for that.

Tony....Is that Walton Ranch on the River?

Chris.......Is any of the ground you hunt over there North of Allen Farm road?  If you get to much north of that where the crop land plays out, watch out its easy to get onto the McFarland place.  They dont let anyone hunt there and its a sanctuary for sure.  There is definately no welcome sign and its been that way for 15 years or more.  If you make a hunt down there and loose a dog on the other side of the river, Burleson County, call me.  I can get acess to just about all that ground from the Yegua creek North.

Waylon,

   Most everything is south of Allen Farm Road. West of 159, then another property off of White Switch Road. I don't hunt out there often. This year they planted more cotton than corn, and didn't see any hog sign until just a few weeks ago. I think the farmer said there was 14k acres of cotton planted this year, and only a couple thousand of corn. The balance is pasture land and sod.  Should be planting wheat before too long, so maybe we'll have some hogs hitting it in the cool weather.

I plan to load up my ponies and do some more hunting this fall and winter. Maybe you and Tony can bring out some Perry dogs. I'd like to see them hunt.

[TShelly]

No Waylon it is not on the river. Their west border towards the river is a railroad.. But it's not far from the river. Sounds good Chris

[Wmwendler]

Chris.....Ok....some of that country is owned by the King Ranch.  I know they have a sod farm down there.  Just let me know when I'll try to make it its only 15-20 minutes from my house.

Tony.....Are there any old rock quaries on that place?  We used to hunt a place with Hershel East of 159 that had some.  But it Might be further south than what you are talking about, its were the river comes in close to 159 and the RR.

Waylon: I wouldnt say that there are numerous rock quarries but there are a few spots that do look to have been mined. I'm sure its the same area and most likely the same place as Jodi often speaks of Herschel used to run dogs on all that country

       Tony , i havent been on here in a several days , but i read every post and i'm glad you started it
          i have been talking with him and he is doing good,   

     knowing Mr. Perry like i do he is a true dog man and im  blessed to get to hunt w/ him

[TShelly]

Alright! I was contacted by Ty. Who in turn had been contcated by Mr. Perry's son. He couldnt quite figure out the ETHD website so they wanted me to post it for them. It seems that the first 60 ciopies of Mr. Perry's second book are available. Yo can contact Mr. Perry directly, email his son for copies or if you know me and want to, you can PM and I will pick up copies for other people when I pick up mine from Mr. Perry. Thanks again to everyone thats commented or had an interest in these dogs and books. Take care everyone


From Mr. Perry's son:
"Ok guys! It's takin me 1 hour & 13 minutes to figure out how to post on here via this "smart phone"! Lol! But that is not what I have to say; I just hope I got this in the correct topic & with the group that has been discussing the Perry dogs & Lloyd Perry's books!

We have received our shipments of the new book, "A Diamond in the Rough"! I have 19, my sister has 19, & my dad should be receiving his 20, if he hasn't already, but he hasn't came in yet for me to get a call through. (His "Rat" dog took a good cut and nearly got her head took off Friday, his "Ike" pup got cut too but I don't know how bad, evidently not life threatening since he didn't get taken to the vet) Anyways, I'm not sure if or when we will get anymore of the 2nd book so let 1 of us know & we'll work out some way of getting it to you. I prefer email; dad prefers a call or show up on his doorstep (I'd call & reserve the book 1st & make sure he'll be there) & if I run out I can sell out of my sisters stash. The books are $22 a piece plus shipping.  Thanx! L "

I ordred the first book and started it monday. Fist book I have picked up in years and will be the first book I finish since 7th grade haha. Also the only book I have ever baught by choice. I highly recomend his first book. I have been reading nights mon-thur this week and am on page 157 and would consider myself a slow reader.

Now, I am interested in gettin the socond book. And maybe finding me a little Perry pup to try out if anyone could put me in touch with where I could get one.

[cpasket]

loyd perry is my uncle i guess thats why i like to hunt so much. I didnt know loyd was my uncle until i  went to sell hogs to him and we started talking and come to find out a lot about each other.. He has some dam good dogs they will leave the country  i bein tryin to get my hands on some of those black cur dog pups it will happien one day ..

[Wmwendler]

Tony....I'm gonna credit you with popularizing "black Perry dogs".  You have just might have caused Dixie or CB to be "the next weathorfords Ben".  They'll be pups for sale all over with headlines saying........ Come get one while they last... they are CB dogs on top and bottom. When they get watered down and go the way of the yellow BMCs I'll know who to blame.

Waylon

[waylon-N.E. OK]

" When they get watered down and go the way of the yellow BMCs I'll know who to blame. "   

don't you mean the way of the catahoula, I'd say that would be a more fair statement 

[TShelly]

Waylon: haha you're not pinning that on me. Mr. Perry has been selling his dogs for a long time. Someone asked Lloyd one time why he would sell such a good dog!? He calmy replied " no-one pays money for a sorry one"

I was just bringing to light his books and a little dog history to all our fellow hog doggers.

I spent hours upon hours catching hogs, waiting on dogs and many a miles to finally EARN the ones I got. I definitely won't ever be exploiting mine for the sake of money

Don't forget to post the pictures of Dixie if you get a chance Waylon!!!!

Tony,
I sure have enjoyed this thread and appreciate what I have read here. 

Waylon, I couldn't have put it better myself about the Perry dogs. The only thing I would add about them with the ones I've owned and know are that they can be colder nosed and unbelievably heat tolerant. I have owned some great dogs out of a different line but non seemed to be consistently heat tolerant as the few Perry dogs I have raised and know.
 
That 12 year old, one eyed dog is still finding and baying hogs for my son. He made several hunts with that grouchy old fart just this summer and bayed hogs with him. If there is a big boar around he will step over a half mile of shoalts and sows to bay him. Never showed him a hog in a pen until he was almost 7 years old and when I did, it was just to see what he would do. Not a tight baying dog at all but caught out after a few barks like a true woods dog. Haha
My son and I put a many a hog on the ground with that old dog all by himself over the years and is already listed as one of the great ones in my book even though Lloyd or his brother that bred him ( Hershel Perry ) would have probably culled him. Heck, Loyd would have culled him for just having a set of testicles! That's a fact.

Tony,I agree with you about other lines and dogs having the same qualities or even better in some ways. I think what makes this line of dogs special to me is all the many years of breeding behind them. The Perry's and the folks they crossed their dogs with made and still make their livings off of these dogs. The standard and time behind the breeding selection over that many years speaks for itself in the dogs I have seen.
I think you could cross em with a ShihTzu and still get a decent hog or cow dog out of em!

Ok you guys have had me reading way to much. Crap im a slow reader. All good info.
Noah all I will say about these Perry/Woodruff dogs is these dogs were hunted in palmeto country and you could tie an easy 20 a day with these dogs and people screaming GET YOUR HANDS ON THEM DOGS I'M TIERED OF CATCHING HOGS. I herd that when I was younger from people on them hunts and did not understand stand . Then when i got older and I had people tell me to catch my dogs they were tiered of catching hogs I knew I had the right gentics.  I will try and get some of them old pictures from my uncle of the Woodruff dogs. ,

[Noah]

HAHA, I agree... when everybody is more worried about catchin' dogs than hogs... you on the right track!!!!   I am interested to hear the relation of your dogs to the Perry's Chance

[Wmwendler]

To quote the late R. P. Wagner..................."F the hogs just catch that black dog"
