I have hunted with and seen most of this line I have here from Tom. Chigger a great little find dog that I never ever seen trash ever in ten years seen him find 100's of hogs for me and Tom. Chigger saved me from a big boar hog one day as I slipped and fell down into a dry creek bed with a 275 lbs boar hog stairing me in the face not 12 yards from me and me flat on my face from the fall the boar charged and chigger stepped between us caught the hog on the end of the nose thank God gave me time to get my sences back . The Kolie bitch as ruff as a dog can be on a hog a real hog stopping bitch, The Hoss dog woooo weeee what a dog on a hog a big boar hog nearly killed me and him both one day in a tank he was cut all to hell and back along with three other dogs and never let go if he did I would have been toast we didn't run catch dogs back then didn't need them , The Bonnie bitch a great bitch that ran with my Little Ann dog and that was a chore to keep up with Ann. Amos a good one and this Buddy dog I got a ruff ruff some buck on a hog . The Claire bitch in her day was a good one. This Dee Bitch will flat out bay the hair off a hog as good of a baying dog as there is in my opinion and find them too, my Bell dog is up there with the Chigger dog as smart a dog as there is alive has found many many hogs for us and has till this day not trashed will come jump on the wheeler with you if a young dog is trashing. I don't care what line of dogs Lacys-Bmc-Cats-Hounds-Bulldogs-PickaPoos to Winnie dogs they are all going to have there little quirks here and there but the main thing is can they consistly put hogs are game on the table if they can do that then all else can be dealt with .
Very well said all I can say to add to this is ask to see the Sire and Dam do what the breeder says they can do. Its not a gaurantee to make a good dog but its a good starting point . Beware of those who are not willing to show you there dogs working. I have 6 Lacys and I have them from both groups all are pretty good dogs. Just do your home work be for you buy a dog . That goes for any breed !
