X3.....I'm fairly new to the sport and this site has been an extremely informative place for me to learn and gain tons of useful knowledge. I had just about quit posting in here. I became a member here because every time I searched the Internet for dog related info 9 out of 10 times I'd end up getting my answer here anyway. I can see that there are still some guys on here that know there stuff and I honestly appreciate the ones that post there first hand tried and true information.

Got cut off somehow. ...I'm all about a debate and enjoy reading through people's reasons for disagreements and discussions. But I don't like to hear people act like kids and take cheap shots at every opportunity they see available. Thank you to the folks that run this site and keep that mess in check. I'm sure yall know it but this place is a smorgasbord of good info for folks like me !! If any of the true dog folks that have quit posting for one reason

Barlow's an interesting guy and I miss having him around, although we still correspond from time to time.
I guarantee, you'll not find someone who has traveled the world and studied (by seeing...not by reading) dogs more than he has. He isn't scared to hear about someone hunting and raising a good line of dogs and just pick up and move there for a while to see and get to know them. Heck, that's how we all met him in the first place.
I have read his posts and noticed how he was always traveling to see them first hand. Man with all of the adventures and things he knows and seen he should write a book or keep an online journal like with a group page on facebook or something. BigO's been trying to get him to write a book for quite sometime. He (Barlow) is also quite handy with a pen, and can write a story that would entertain anyone. Yes...I have heard the tales of his bear hunting days. Mainly about the time he decided to go bear hunting, so he loaded up his dogs and went to the woods. If memory serves me right, it ended up being about a 2 year long hunt before he decided to head home. Lived in a tent in the woods, and hunted 24/7. If that's not a way to evaluate dogs, then I don't know what is. Most would think his stories are pretty far fetched...until you get to know him. |

Gotta second GeorgiaHawgs on that one. I've heard off a few of the veterans and true dog men that used to hang out here, and left because the board went elementary. For what it's worth there are some of us young guns who really just want to learn. And I don't have anyone close to teach my in person, so this is where I come. Sucks that one bad apple can ruin the whole bunch

That's bad timing, seems like it only gets that way every few months or so, which is too much, glad you decided to stay |

Thats sounds almost like the houndsman version of Walden hahaha. Man he needs to just get a blog going. Even just a simple one through squared space or something similar where you just type text and upload pics, you don't have to be good with computers or anything. |

I do not remember the last time I posted or replied to this site because of the bull,but I still come and read two to three times a day. I've been running dogs for 25 years and when you reply on here you become an idiot. thanks Mike for the work you do and the patience you have.

Hog Dog Mike
|
I am an old man and have bred a few hog dogs. I have bred lots of bird dogs and worked harder at it than most people do at jobs. One time I counted up the bird dogs I personally owned and quit when I got to 200.
Here is the deal and take it for what it is worth. Many hog dogs are not registered so it is hard to trace bloodlines. Bird dog men have been keeping track for well over 100 years. A registration certificate has 3 numbers under the dogs registration number. The first number is the number of wins that dog has, the 2nd is the number of winners that dog produced, and the 3rd number is the number of wins that the off spring had. Just because a dog has a great number of wins means nothing because some of them cannot produce winners. One group started keeping track of winners produced per times bred and that is the one to go with.
The American Field is a publication that comes out weekly and you can keep up with which dogs are running and winning. You can also which of their offspring are winning. Some of the articles depend on who is writing the article. Once I got to judging field trials I could not wait to see some of the famous dogs actually run. What a shock for me. MY thought was this dog cannot possibly be the dog I read about.
Here is what I would do. The bird dog guys learned long ago that the horse guys had been doing it longer than they had. One of their secrets was a PRODUCING FEMALE. They are referred to as a blue hen. They can produce good dogs bred to any number of good males. One bitch named Hot Haunches produced 6 champions our of 6 different male dogs. She could just produce.
I would look for a producing female and I want to see the dogs with my eyes the dogs she produced. Breed her to a producing male and I want to see the dogs he produced with my eyes. Some guys tend to run the good females and not breed them which is a mistake. If you do that you will be way yonder ahead in the game.
