Crazy dog breeds used while hunting!!

[texasboy11]

I got a female min pin that might weight 10 lbs that is my house dog and every time I pull up with hogs and let her out she hammers em so when we went today we loaded her up in the cab and took her for sh**s and giggles.. Well she got in there and hammered down to my amazement.. If I could upload pics I got 2 good ones of her..anyways what's some crazy breeds y'all have seen?? I'm not taking her serious just if we're making a quick round and she is laid up on the couch I might load her up again ha ha..

Not really hunting but every year at our county fair, one of those furry little 12 lb house dogs, can't think of the breed, wins the coon treeing contest.

Saw a full size poodle in Refugio at a gas station with a cut vest on. Asked the guy about the dog and he said that it was almost always strait catch.

I've always wondered about them standard poodles , I know they will make some fine bird dogs but would like to see them on a hog

I've got a female jack russell terrier that I use to fire up my pups, while I can't say that i've used her in true big woods on an uncontrolled hunt there ain't a doubt in my mind that she would take off hunting if I gave her the chance lol. I raise all my pups up with her and I honestly believe that she has made a big difference in getting my pups started faster and earlier than I could on my own, I believe as far as the pups go that they have a "mokey see monkey do" mentality, I've used her multiple times with multiple different pups and the results have been the same everytime. I drop her and let her take the pups to the hog on mock hunts and every single time they have started baying before I ever got to the hog because they follow her and do whatever it is that she is doing at the time not even realizing they are doing it. After I use her 2 or 3 times with a pup I don't even have to bring her as the pups have it figured out and will do it on their own. If she wasn't my little girls pet I would probly tote her to the woods just for the hell of it, I know that she is a piglet/ shoat catchin fool haha.

hahaha I heard that!

Maybe it's the city boy in me that thought the "coon treeing contest" at the county fair was kind of funny. Never heard such a thing. I know a old hog hunter that uses Bavarian Mountain Hounds. Unless I'm mistaking I don't believe they're popular with hog hunters.

There is 2 breeds I want to try one is thia ridgeback and a standard poodle. Both of the ones I have heard about being used are catchy

I've heard that about ridgebacks too and the thing that makes me believe it is their size

Thai

Long as your at it, why not the Phu Quoc? They are from Vietnam, so you know for sure that if they don't hunt, they will at least be delicious over some noodles!

[Rocking Y]

Oh ok I didn't see the Thai part. They might turn out pretty good, just a chance you'll never know til you try

Used to be a guy around here who had a Golden retriever lab mix that was a straight catch dog. He used him in the catch competitions we used to have around here years ago and was a heck of a bay dog in the swamp and would catch on command there. My wife's great grandpa would use one of those lassie type collies as a catch dog when they used to do their annual cutting and marking in the swamps many moons ago.

There seemed to be a period here in the late 80"s and 90's when all sorts of dogs were used for pig hunting.  Some I can think of (normally crossed)

doberman, rottweiler, vizsla, dalmation, curly coated retrievers, boxer crosses (still popular), sure there are others I've forgotten.

Belgian Malinois. 

[TheRednose]

Belgian Malinois awesome! I have seen them imported ones, their prey drive is through the roof and alot of them have great noses too, not to mention their athletic ability.

How does your's hunt txhogman?

[Cowdogs85]

Iv got Border Collies and Australian Shepards and they are strait catch no questions asked. Good quiet cow dogs but put them on a hog and they are foaming from the mouth and acting like wild wolves. I use them to teach pups to catch and it dang sure works. Don't count out my hairy sheep dogs.. Lol
