I have a 13 yr. old female that is the best pup trainer that ever was.She's lost a step or two and doesn't hear real well anymore.But she'll straighten out a hard check and keep it going and if she comes out and sits down next to you when a pup or young dog is barking.You can throw the juice to anyt...

I've seen a few made from old small boat trailers.If you can handle the fabrication and welding it seems that they make a good base to start with.And can be found fairly cheap if you look around.

Weir Creeks,not the fastest or the most flashy hounds out there.But get a few good ones and you can kill every rabbit or hare they get after.They don't need any help getting after them either.

You got someones cull....sounds like it's just crazy.

It's most likely a matter of time with the technology of today at some point GPS and tracking systems will be used in trial formats in some way.With the LP hounds of today if the time was shortened to 10 sec.how would anyone be able to stay up on them to score it unless they were on horse back.And t...

There is a nesting pair of Bald Eagles that moved into this area several years ago.Them suckers are BIG !!!! a neighbor had a huge Bard Rock rooster get snatched by one of them last year he said it swooped down grabbed it by the neck and flew off with the rooster hanging from one foot never slowed d...

Thanks for the interest.

She is Tadpole/Homer on the top and line bred Ace in the Hole/Indian Hills on the bottom.Has good hunt,runs a real clean line for her foot.she's quick!She has an honest mouth,when she barks a rabbit is moving.No trash problems yet,have gun hunted her twice this season,she did a good job.No problem b...

From what I've seen given the time,most grown rabbits will try to pull a trick or two to confuse their scent.The more they have been run the better they are at it and the less time they can be given.Over competitiveness is the fault I keep seeing show up in a lot of hounds today.I understand the nee...

There are dogs that run close as you specified and still run fast speed and catch one if it runs for very long without going to ground. What you described is a faulty wild dog and that is not a fast dog. Point is for some folks, only a slow or medium speed at best dog can run close and that is not ...

The Mid-West isn't immune to buddy judging.I saw a 15 in. male get picked up in Berea for being afraid of a horse.He got out of the way when a judge ran up to him and skidded it to a stop.He wasn't leaving anything for the rest of the cast,the only problem was they left him down to long and everyone...

Chances are you'll be ok with her naming it.Gota be careful letting kids name them.I had a little male that got named Big Bird that way.He lived for over 13 yrs.My girls still laugh about it.

S.R your the luckiest guy I know of.The way my luck goes the cow and the heifer would of died and I'ed been bucket feeding the little bull calf.Nothing wrong with selling a fremartin as long as someone isn't planning on using it for breeding stock.I had a Angus bull a few years ago that I got severa...

Keep his toe nails trimmed good.If they are trimmed close it doesn't take much digging and they start to get sore and they quit.My dogs are worse for it in the summer if I forget and let their nails grow.

[quote="BCBeagles"]You are running cotton tails correct? Boy, in just this post alone the control and speed opinions vary greatly......... Go watch dogs run, if you are seeing the foot and not the point of loss work.....look more.....foot is easy to find.....control, true control........much, much h...
