there’s a recent of my gyp pup and her momma with her. If she amounts to what her momma is in the woods as much as she looks like her. She’s gonna be the real deal

Great looking pup Slim, how old is she? Looks a lot like a catahoula. I know your Kate gyp is a stock bred Cur, what all is is in the background of those dogs?

Just now 6 months old. Sketch, which is the pups momma standing behind her is really just scatter bred, she comes down off a old line of dogs around the red river the called “Tator dogs” it was one male dog who was some sort of running hound cross the bred to 2 catahoula bitches and then just inbred the piss out of the dogs from there. She’s got a little bit of Mikes black dog blood in her as well. She is by no means “stock bred” on paper, but she grew up behind the Kate dog and the way I used her and started her, she will bay and circle with the best of them. 

The daddy to the pup is my uncles Levi dog, old line of stock bred leopard curs been in this area for 30+ years. Nobody can really say what they were 100% when they got to breeding them but they have been stock minded and big motor dogs as long as they’ve been around. Levi’s momma was a full littermate sister to My old Kate dogs daddy(or something like that)

When we say leopard dog it’s really more of a regional thing but at the same time, catahoulas to us are the excessive white dogs and sure enough spotted up block headed bulldog cross looking dogs. This line of “Leopard curs” is going to throw solid yellas, brindle, or what we call leopard which is kind of a broken brindle. A “spotted” dog, is really rare.

If you go all the way to the beginning of this thread I posted a good bit about all of it

Slim, have you heard the name Jones mentioned in those dogs background. He was a black man that lived around Lexington and did all the cow work for the Coffield ranch from the early fifties until he started working cattle for the Culpepper ranch. He started out with Leopards then got hold of a good yellow gyp and in later years got more and more yellow dogs.

I will have to ask Mr.Woodward one day, I haven’t heard the name before but Jamie has been around for a long long time and was right in the middle of the cowboying and dog world around here.

Cool stuff! I’m up in SC, there’s nobody around my area (that I know of) that has families of dogs like y’all do down in Texas. Nobody around here has their own line or really has a line bred program. People just have done good dogs and will sometimes throw pups, but they have no real plan or goal. That’s what I’m wanting to get in to. Creating a perfecting a line of dogs that hunts that way I want is a huge goal of mine. I’m currently trying to acquire the pieces to the puzzle. Namely the right female to throw to my Dum Dum dog

Bigo, his name was Jessie Jones. He was a cowboy for sure. I saw several of his dogs and several work. We actually had a couple. The one I remember best was a young dog when we got it. We named him Hoss. He worked a hog well bit never had a lot of hunt. He was a leggy well made dog and blue fawn in color. We caught one of the biggest if not the biggest hogs I've ever put hands on with him, my old Clyde dog and a green bulldog of my buddies. Clyde put up bay and Hoss went to him. When we walked up, they were on top at the head of a deep gulley. The hog was sitting and both dogs were backed up baying. When he saw us he stood to face us and both dogs hammed him and he sat right back down. We watched for a few minutes and he tried a couple more times with the same result. Don't think a sitting hog isn't still rough lol. He slapped that poor bulldog and flung him about a dozen times without ever standing. I'll never forget that hunt. Hoss, got his hip dislocated by a bad hog about a month later. It ruined him. My buddy had it fixed but he never had another drop of fire. He was about a year and a half old when that happened. Ole Jessie is a nice guy. I lived here in Rockdale. I honestly haven't seen him in a long time. I don't know if he's even still alive. I do remember when he was almost killed on a horse. He got hung up in the stirrup and his horse nearly drug him to death. He was really bad hurt. I'm gonna check on him and see what the status is. Do you remember what yella dogs he wound up with Bigo?

Mr. Jones died a few years ago. We got a dog from him in the late fifties, a brown saddleback leopard dog, that was a real good cowdog. The yellow gyp came from a widow of a man that had yellow dogs. His last name started with an M and sounded Italian. My Dad got a yellow gyp from Mr. Jones in the mid seventies and bred to Drivers Leroy, started my dogs, Ben Jordans dogs and many more.

It's a small world. I always liked Mr. Jessie. When I moved back from Palestine I was working at the plant. When you work shift work and have kids it's hard to keep up with people.

Said it before and I’ll keep saying it, the little gyp puppy is her momma all over again. First of the 4 to finally fire off at something. Packed her along with me and her momma down to our ranch in Beeville, she is not a fan of the ranch goat. Now time to get her back in some hogs https://vimeo.com/334783518

Little update. Of 11 puppies weaned, 10 are alive today. A sorry individual ended up with one a screwed up deal and let a healthy 3 month old pup somehow die, or atleast that’s what he told me. Of the 10, 4 are with me and my uncle. All 4 are going awesome at just under 10 months old. My 2(Shadow and Radar) on hogs (and apparently coons lol) my uncle 2(Victor and Ears) on cows. A family of cowboys up the road got the red brindle female they call Tiggy. She’s been going on cows for a while now. She’s spending 3 days plus a week getting hauled around to work. Guy in San Augustine came and got 3 males. Said 2 of them he took the other night bayed and caught a coyote, had to leave the 3rd at home cause he loves him some cows. Another female went to a boy up around Teague, and he says she’s baying good and just needs more using. The last female went to a good friend of my uncles who has owned some of the bloodline I bred into. He had an old gyp died recently and sketch through a puppy that looked just like her so we made sure he got a chance at her and he was more than glad to have her. So far she spends her days up at the Somerville farm and ranch store. Smart as a whip and good looking, everybody is a big fan of Marley. I’m willing to bet she gets her chance on hogs in the spring.  Going to try and get everybody to send me some updates pictures, this sure turned out to be really good looking set of cur dogs and sounds like they’re all on track to earning a job.

That’s good news Slim... it always a good feeling when a high percentage of a litter turns out.
