that is more the norm as not... 

if I had signed up on here in 2005 I would still have my old line of dogs because ETHD inspired me... but not until I got rid of some good ones...the best dogs I ever seen as hog dogs were 1/2 hound...usually walker but those were comparable to the mt. curs...When I first started with them I knew no one who hunted them on hog but now I see a few on here and more in the full cry magazine...The biggest problem with the mt. cur is that too many tend to be on the small side and some open too much on track...only run 1 or 2...more will break a bay but 4-6 will stop a big boar if given the chance and probably have it caught...

I have one that is under 2 years old. He has struck a few hogs so far. He is pretty rough. Has did 20 miles in a hunt and is still ready for more, I've yet to see him get tired.

Cons, almost too gamey. He never really bothered cattle. But he will get after coon and sometimes bump a deer, but both of those are my fault. I let him get after coons and blood trail deer when he was younger. He hasn't opened on a hog track, but will sure open up when a hog breaks.

He's developed a good handle, I am pleased with him and wouldn't hesitate to get another. Mine came from westtexascurs on here.

[jon]

im very pleased with mine.. i like her being a little smaller shes able to get around the thick stuff easly shes open if its a runner or very very fresh sign which i like because i dont have gps so i know where she is going... just a all round good dog imo but at night she will tree coons

Buck... and Banjo in the back ground (Bucks son)...Buck was unique in that he was born with every hair on his body the same color like coffee creamer and he had yellow eyes...I bred him to his daughter who was also his grand daughter as well as his niece and still never a pup of his color...but a ton of grit and hunt was in those pups...one of his son's out of his daughter was named Chango and he was a heck of a strike dog but was border line catch...he has some offspring around and I am lucky to have a grandson out of him who is just as catchy and his name has been changed from JJ to Changito...



the pic below is Changito...he is recuperating right now and a vest was ordered from P&P last week...



the dog below is also a grandson of Chango and he is an excellent hog dog named Yellow owned by a friend of mine...
Changito has a sister that is hell on wheels and I hope to get her bred to a dog of choice who will be one of her half brothers...just have to talk a buddy into doing it on account he owns her...




The dog below is a world champion coon and squirrel dog (several times) that I like...he was sold for 40,000 dollars...but he looks like some of the mtn curs I owned and I tried getting a few pups out of him but didn't work out...I like the good size and the short coat and tight muscled up body...I call these dogs hard bodied dogs because they are muscled up whether you hunt them or not and they usually have lots of stamina...



A good mt cur should locate quick because he cuts and slashes looking for the hot end of the tracks and then rolls out on it and stick with it until a hog is put on the other end of the tracks...they also usually have one heck of a winding nose...finding a good line of dogs can be hard to find...because there are too many half a$$ breeders out there...

[Reuben]

don't know how it happened but Changito showed up in the world champion dogs spot...but below is that high dollar dog...

Everyone that sees mine swears she's plott cause of her brindle color until they see her tail.. I was going to fix her but I wanna bred her to a plott now though

[Hogkiller,]

I have a Mountain cur that is not a good strike dog but if there is a bay then she will be there and the deal is sealed she is an Amazing bay pen dog she just wont range out more than 50 yards

ok im gonna say this now i love kemmers and mt currs but there r show breed and there r game breed kemmers and there is a watered down mix of both, yes most real kemmers r line breed in some shape but what real game dogs arent if you wanna argue that how do u still have a weatherfords ben high blood dog if your not lying about it this is something i feel very strongly about i have gone on many hunts and been told do we come to hog hunt or coon hunt, and well my kemmers speak or should i say bay and catch for themselves and it aint no coon these dogs will hunt what they r showed they r the versatile breed wether it be mt lion bear squirrel coon bobcat lynx hog or any other animal including mink and if you have a dog that can run a mink i would like to know about it because they r out there just far and few in between if you have a dog that can pull a 20lb ground hog out of its hole at 7weeks old please let me know yes i am partial to kemmers and just mt currs so with that said, when i see people say well my mt dog hunts good except for treeing coon did you teach that dog that or someone who had the dog before you and it hasnt swapped over yet still in adjustment just doing what it knows, and yes some do yip on track and do have the speed and nose to stop it before it gets started but did you run it when it was a "tree dog" with another open dog dogs learn from each other why do you put your pups with a finished dog but i hear people say your pup wont learn to be open from an open dog? i normally just stay quiet but if you wanna get me on my box talk about my babies my kemmers and the box i will stand on i will stand by my kemmers against any other breed someone elses dogs might be better but not because of there color or breed alot with dogs is the owner so next time you say that dumb dog look at what your doing with it jmo hope you guys dont get mad but its my opinon

some folks see it as a bad thing when a young pup trashes...I get pumped up because I know what that pup is going to be like as a young dog...if anyone has a 9-10 month old pup that will run a deer for several hours in a pitch black moonless night all by itself and you are totally disappointed or totally devastated about it do not fret any more...I will take that trashy sorry a$$ pup off your hands and dispose of him for you...
