I ain’t talking bout a dog that will bay hogs or cows I am talking bout a dog you can put on the ground run thru cows Notta bay a hog then on the way back pen cows. I know a lot of old timers that had dual purpose dogs but it goes like this if there where hogs around you might bay them up if there where cows you might get them I ain’t seen one that was just turn out and sent to get hogs and passed up cows might be one out there but I ain’t seen it

There’s quite a few out there. I’m not talking about cow dogs who trashed or trip on a hog on the way to cows. I’m talk about sure enough nice on hogs and nice on cows and do which ever it is told to do and can switch modes faster than you can change your drawers


The few ive seen (never owned) had specific things they always did b4 a hunt to tell the dog what they were going to do. If I remember right they also only hunted hogs at night and that was part of their training to only hunt at night and not work cows, and i think cracking a bullwhip and sending the dogs by name meant cow time. I imagine it can be done but not for the weekend hunter like me, that would take a guy who is using them several days a week imo

That was a chicken number 2 reply. That’s everybodys cop out when the 21 year old knows what he’s talking about and they got to much pride to say it.
 Btw judge, my original comment was a joke, some people have no use for a dog that bays cows, wouldn’t make much sense to have one that would would it? However we do both, both are part of our job, and rather than have 10 dogs that do hogs and 10 that do the cows. We got about 6 or 7 that do both, and both Well. And your mentality is the reason I tell people they are unicorns

Slim...at 21 you might not have the years of experience...but it doesn’t mean a lack of knowledge in any way...at 12 years old I thought I had it going on...I caught lots of game with my pack that I trained myself...

That’s not a cop out if your upset about me calling you a kiddo you need to tighten up your belt life is hard son. Now far as a cop out to you knowing something your dead wrong I have said many times you don’t have to be old to know stuff. I simply said I ain’t seen then like you claim and I know a ton of old cowboys that have penned cattle for 50 plus yrs. but if you can do all that good for you. This is the internet where all hero’s

well , i use my dogs both ways . if they bay cattle when i'm hog hunting i just let'em get them cattle settled and call'em off . if they bay hogs i do  the same but if they catch a hog while cowhunting i'l work him .


we don't have hogs right here but thats what i do when i go other places .

and i have seen 1 or 2 that would get on a hog track and go right thru a bunch of cattle and vice versa . i have been driving cattle and a dog be leading cattle , smell something in font of him and all of a sudden leave and get bayed on hogs.

Jdt that’s what I was saying

You may be talking about me Judge. I’m 6 years into the crosses and they’re actually AB/stag. They are a lot of fun to hunt I can drop them out on hogs in wheat fields and they’ll lock in like heat seeking missles. A lot of times pigs will run in with the cattle to try and lose them, but they stay hooked.

Basically they’re extremely fast CDs. Good temperament, prey drive and provide more endurance in a foot race. They are a dog I keep on the rig for certain situations. Some hunts they don’t even get turned out, but when you need them they’re handy. We did our 8th annual veteran hunt in West Texas last month. Caught 36 in two days with 12 of those being caught with the sighthound crosses so you can see they have increased my by about 33%.  They are great about catching their own when dumped and not all piling on one.

I don’t run RCD. I enjoy strike dogs that provide a good bay. Could they find their own hog on the ground? I’m sure they could, but it’s not my style. I’d rather feed a 45lb cur dog for that. Hell we had one baying a 10 pound pig the other day and we were tickled to death. Now if that 10lber was running a mile that’d be a different story......

Oh and by the way I’ve got hundreds of pictures and even videos - I just don’t post them.

Right on sounds like you made what you wanted

Jsh sounds like them dogs are working out.I know of several people in ga that have similar type crosses they use for sight work night vision, thermal or whatever and have been for many years but like you use trail dogs for trailing.Glad to hear your program is working out.That's a hell of a weekend.

[t-dog]

Jsh, do you have any pics of your stag crosses? Or can you describe the physical conformation? How did you breed them as far a stag male to a bulldog gyp or vise vesa, or maybe both? Are they 1/2 and 1/2 or have you gotten them where you think they need to be? Just curious, they sound interesting.

I’ll try and download Tapatalk and post some pics. I do have pictures of some of them if you look at my old posts. I run 1/2 stag and 1/2 bulldog and also have some 1/4 stag 3/4 bulldog.  The stag blood shows really strong in mine.   The 3/4 crosses are a tad slower but larger and heavier built. Long legged and deep chested. Still plenty fast enough to catch a hog in the open.

Started the original cross with an AB and then started using an old red and white bulldog from South Texas. No fancy pedigrees or anything - just dogs that worked hard and were level headed.

I’ll help ya out a bit with couple links jsh....
I remember you posting about em.
I remember how good looking I thought the cross was when you posted about them.
