I had a walker dog that went back to some sort of lipper dog several times on his papers. I coon hunted with him. He was a big dog. He was off of grch grnitech wessels wild card. And grch grnitech deanwoods hali. He was all grand on his papers. Was a big dog. About 70 pounds. Good leg. Good ear. Extremly cold nosed . Smart and easy to handle. If im not mistaken he went back to a bunch of the lipper dogs. I know for a fact he went back to stylish lipper several times though. And i probably dont have to say this being that were talking hounds here but my dog was EXTREMLY open on track. More than the usual..lol..which i liked in a competition coon hunt. I was usually the first one struck. I will see if i can dig up some pictures. I know my wife has some. I will look up a pic of that wild card dog for now though and post a picture of him. They looked just alike. Not the usual looking walker dog.

        this is that wild card dog. He's dead now but had titles out the wazoo

All the lipper dogs I've seen have been black head dogs with black ears and black on their face. Are they all like this also I see that a lot of them are long legged and heavy dogs, I'm just worried about them being to big to be baying on a hog. I'm interested in them because I know of a guy who has a litter and will let me get a pup and I know the daddy to that litter have hunted with him and he is a good dog, but he isn't a huge dog. But I had a lipper/nacturnal nailer dog and I got raid of him because he was so big and he wasn't extremely slow but was the slowest out of my pack. I just don't want to judge all lipper dogs just off mine that I had I'd like to know a little bit more about all of them.

My dog also went back to nocturnal nailor. As far a "lipper bred" dogs, that is such a huge name that the percentage of dogs with alot of lipper in them is pretty high. They have been crossed with so many dogs (big and small) that sizes will vary. I believe my dog was so big because he was directly off wild card and deanwoods hali. Both of them were decent sized dogs. Theres a ton of information online regarding the lipper dogs. You might start with a google search of house's lipper. I believe he was the original lipper dog. Also the color will most likely vary from dog to dog. Like i said that lipper blood has been bred into an incredible about of dogs all over the place. The fella that owned wild card(cant remember his name) prided his self on having "black and white" pups with little to no brown on them. In fact one of his stud dog adds with ukc said something like "its so simple, its in black and white" or something like that. Maybe someone else will chime in with some better help than i can offer. But i wpuld suggest looking at the build and the way the sire and dam of the pup hunt and make your decision from there. If you do a search with google or a UKC website i think you'll be shocked at all the times you see a lipper dog. I say try it out and if you dont like it give it to a coon hunter before its to old to do anything with ..good luck to ya sir !!

I had one awhile back. Good coon dog but he was a brute. I don't have a pic of him but he had a black head with a white stripe up his muzzle and a black blanket. Huge frame dog but moved well on track. He was a coon dog, and a good one at that. I wouldn't have been a bit afraid of trying him on a hog though.

The gyp below is a 2 year old heavy Lipper bred dog. She is extremely fast and will run a hog down and bay the crap out of him. Gives a real pretty changeover bawl.  She is very open, very fast, and very loud. A track driving / bay minded dog  by nature with tons of bottom.  She has only been hunted a handful of times. She hasn't learned to work a cold trail very well yet. Drives me crazy listening to her try to work one. She was started on coons and proved to like hogs better. She wasn't very tree minded. She is great for cold packing runners.  She can go as long as you want to! I am enjoying working with her. I think she is a lot of hound. I'm trying real hard to put her in hogs and get her going good. Check out the leg and the old English ticks on her!

Yep...perfect size, bone structure and well muscled...beautiful gyp...

[Shotgun66]

Thank you both for the kind words fellas. I guess I would have to call her a running bay dog at this point. She has brought every runner we have put her on to bay. She gives me a good break from our curs!

Buford,
My experience with the Lipper line is pretty limited. It is my understanding that they are commonly very tough, fast, track minded hounds. On the negative side, I have heard they are NOT the smartest line of hounds and as a result tend to take longer to learn/improve. This gyp seems to be a good sample of that. I'll try to keep u posted on her progress.

[Nannyslayer]

Mr shotgun, I'd sure like to have a set of pups out of my male walker and your gyp.

[buford]

10 4 shotgun keep me posted

[Shotgun66]

Nannyslayer, We will keep you in mind if she proves herself to be worth breeding. She has a long way to go!

I've hunted several and all liked hogs better than treeing. If I was going to hunt a walker that's the ones I would want. They fast, have a good nose and gritty enough to stop one. Pretty easy on the eyes also and that always helps
