It's just another fad thats gonna ruin the breed like it did the catahoulas. They're being mass produced for color and not culled... cause everyone has to have a yella dog. BMC's come in other colors besides yella.  There's just as many cull yella dogs as there are any others... probably more these days. Id have to agree with you, seems everyone has a yella dog in the bed of the truck where im at nowdays. 8-9 yrs ago it wasn't like that at all, course i never saw yella dog pups for 1000+ dollars either......times are changin! |

You said it man exactly they are stock dogs they are not breed to hunt in anyway shape or form. A hound it is breed to produce meat. The dogs are stocks dogs and work well in the terrain of texas where there is a large number of hogs and it doesnt require a cold nose just speed, grit and determination. Seen some good yellas but ill take a hound anyday. [/quote] Wrong again.... Stock dogs that were bread by the settlers of texas did hunt! They were multi purpose dogs! They had to help tend the herds! Meaning hunt & find the cows not only hold them but be able to assist in driving long distances! These dogs also had to be able to put meat on the table! Squirrel, deer, coon, bear, big cats, ect... Hell if their really was a big foot it would be a yellow dog catch him! I don't even have any true yellows, but this is the working facts! |

Haha Are we talking bout Yeller dogs in general or just papered WB dogs. Think a few folks are getting confused and think those are the only ones in the breed standard. I have been dealing with Yeller dogs most of my life, but had never heard of WB or papers till the net craze. If anything around here I would say Yeller dogs have always been the norm with almost everyone I knew having one in the mid 90's. Now........just pockets and less than a handfull of long term men that kept their lines goin. So I would say for this area that has utilized Yellers for as many years ad you can find a man living to tell you bout em. ....they are actually dwindling instead of booming.  Fad.......maybe on the industry promoted dogs but have to disagree on the entirety. |

Miles, I'm talking about yella dogs in general.
Yes, the papered dogs folks are making a killing... but, also every Tom, Dick and Harry are breeding them too.

I have yellow dogs because I'm severly obsessive compulsive and I simply cannot have multiples of any item and they not match. In fact, I not only have matching dogs, but they are placed in their respective kennel in alphabetical order. A yard full of spotted, patched up, multi-color catahoulas would just kick me right over the edge. Just kidding of course...(but not really) |

I don't care what color a dog is as long as they will consistently produce pork! I do however love the looks of them yellers. My problem is finding one that suits me and have only seen a hand full of ones I liked but do have my eye on one blood line that has impressed me. As far as Ben bread dogs go I firmly believe they are all hype and more culls than not. I haven't seen one yet I would feed. Let's not forget been himself was a cull. It's all about advertising...

Blackmouth Curs have varied historical documentation dependent upon region. Among them are the Ladner Yellow Blackmouth Cur from Mississippi, Red Blackmouth Cur from Alabama, Weatherford's Ben Blackmouth Cur from Texas, and the Florida Blackmouth Cur.
The first Blackmouth Curs registered were Ladner Blackmouth Curs through the National Kennel Club in April 1964. Mr L.H. Ladner had such extensive written documentation of his family's breeding that the NKC recognized the breed.

Hell when I started hunting 9yrs ago I RARELY saw a yella dog around my area, now days I see em everywhere!!!!!! they are def. expanding around here........and i am in no way saying that it is a good thing just statin what i've seen  |

[/quote] it thought the high cull rate went back before the early 1980's... one day I want to go on a hunt with nothing but purebred yellow dogs in a woods bottom where there are a few hogs and I want to see the dogs range out and find the hogs and then bring them to bay even if it takes 4 hours of running and trailing through the thick brush and through a few 10 acre briar patches...not trying to be a smart butt but I really want to see this... |

I left the Catahoulas alone started using yella dogs because of exactly what mike said. "They started being bred for color to make a dollar instead of working ability". Yellow dogs dont have the novelty of the catahoula so I dont believe they will get as bad off, but there are still some folks that have true catahoulas and they dont have a bunch of loud patch work and they resemble nothing like we see today. They are 80lb dogs with block heads and typically not a loud color and maybe one glass eye if any at all and they are pretty much straight catch dogs on a single hog until you get them broke, but can take a rank cow down like a bulldog. I have been thinking about trying to talk Mr. Murray out of one before he gets too old to fool with them. The last two out of his line I saw were some serious working dogs that his son used to catch loose cattle, and they would rival the heart and grit of any cur dog and maybe a bulldog.

I tend to stay away from the cats for the same reason but I would love to own a couple that would really get the job done. I fear that yellow dogs are going the way of the cat. Im holdin on to the ones ive got for dear life.......they may not be the best but they work for me! |

i know that all cats are not the same but the ones ive been around seem to be slow starters,they usually dont range as far out. i have also seen dog aggression out of them. the yellow dogs ive been around seem to start easier and more energetic. the cats that you see now are completely different than the old days they come every color in the book with lots of white.around here they were dark colored dogs with no white and favored a hound in there build,long and lean. now they look like bulldog crosses.
