Super dogs!!!

[J Wolff]

Anybody have a set of dogs that will hunt all day??? If so I want to hear about
em, cause we sure dont.

[halfbreed]

   what do you consider all day .  I've not had many that wouldn't  lol  .  back when I first started running the farmland , wasn't nothing for me to run all day every day . I did slack off after a bit when the dogs started growling at me when I made their stove up behinds get out of their dog houses to load up  lol . that's when I went to the hound crosses .   you made need to just condition the dogs a little better and longer . a train atheleat runs longer and faster than a couch potato .

Sun to sun haha not really. Yeah I think u hit it right on the head. One day a week sure ain't gonna leg em up.

My dogs have covered 50 plus miles in two days hunting several times , they always go over double as us , so if we go 12 miles on a atv hunt the dogs cover 25 miles plus ,  a walk hunt  , we walk 8  they go 16 plus ,  most of the time our terrain will tear there pads off after a one of those long ones , it is sure about conditioning the dog and there feet , and the drive of the dog or dogs , I have a 11 year old bmc , she don't care if she has pads or not , she's finding a hog.

Bob sounds like u sure enough got some good dogs. Y'all must hunt all the time to keep in shape. If we catch two or three pigs in a morning it's back to the house cause u can't yank a dog off the rig before another done got on haha lazy sap suckers

We hunt all winter and just a little in the summer but I bought a horse walker that I keep them on in the hotter months , I think if you hunt big areas like I have for a few years with the same dogs it teaches them no matter were they go or how far I'm coming sooner or later  , they develop a trust in you , I have a big problem hunting anything small because of we're they go , very lucky to hunt were I have , there was a lot of pigs for years which helped to make good dogs , if you never find hogs   How can you make a dog   , Ive been very lucky in this sport from dogs to spots from reading this forum for a few years

That's funny u say that, my friend n I was just talking today about putting all of our dogs on a horse walker. We have more country to hunt loaded with hogs just no time to go but one day on the weekend. We gonna try n just turn two dogs out at a time so we can run 5 flights this weekend and maybe we can hunt long enough we won't feel like its too early to pop a top on a cold one. I guess horse walker in low gear is slow enough for dog walking or you have to do alittle modifying ?

[M Bennet]

my dogs can but they ride on the hood,lol

[bob]

Mine is slow plus I put long leads on so they can stop and go alittle and a bucket of water at the far reach , it works for me lol

I have a bitch dog that is long range and won't stop till you catch her at the hog or cut her off somewhere. One tournament this year, hunted her non stop from dark Friday night (whatever time that was) till we got done at 930 on Saturday night, well over 24 hours on the ground. The last hog at 930 that night was over two miles from where she rolled out. I think we caught 25 in the tournament. The next day she acted like she had been on the chain all week and was ready to go again. My lacy dog is pretty much the same way, but she has had her foot broke a couple times and doesn't take day 2 quite as well.

I have two. My lead male(red tick) and my CD (APBT). I can cut them loose together and it's nothing for them to put 20+ miles on the Garmin in 5 hours. Load em up hit another place and do it again. Water break here and there then its long gone again. If the redtick comes to check in u better catch em before he roles out cuz it might be a while before u see him again.

sounds like for the most part your dogs got the cat by the tail

My redbone is like that, she never gives up. She will run run and then run some more. If she is on something there is no calling her off it.

keep water handy for them...after about 5 hours of hunting feed them quarter pound of pork steak and they will do again...or a can of veinna sausages to each dog along with the juice in the can...

when you hunt all day and you stop to eat you after a 5 or 6 hour hunt...then you will be ready for another 5 or 6 hours...I see it the same with the dogs...

We have a 6 horse walker that we put ours on while I'm cleaning out their pens. Ours has several speeds but we just put it in neutral and they will exercise themselves!!! Especially if we are walking all around it and going back and forth doing stuff with the horses they try to follow us around it!! It seems to work good for us!! Im thinking about swimming them this summer for exercise! Im going to fill up one of those big water troughs and swim them in there!

[cdc505]

I've got mine on high speed chicken feed they hunt all day and all night see pigs when they aren't even there and steal copper for me when they aren't hunting. Turn em loose in Tville and catch em at The Grove!

[J Wolff]

[cdc505]
