[Dan McDonough]

That's the kind of evidence I'm talking about.

I feel as though the definition of the ultimate bobcat dog would go something like this: a dog that's better at catching bobcats then everyone else's.

[Tanner Peyton]

I kind of see what you're saying sass and I kind of don't. To speak to your Shepard bulldog example, I realize that you can't just cross the two and hope for the best. That'll most likely will not work. I guess what I'm trying to say is that if you increase the area in which you're willing to look you will increase the likelihood of finding the dog that you want. So for instants, to your shepherd bulldog cross to increase intelligence I guess if it was me I would look for a dog that had similar traits as mine plus a higher intelligence. So that way I wouldn't dilute my own stock and I would add to it. Now a dog that is that good plus some is going to be hard to find. Even harder to find if I limit myself to a small portion of the whole dog population. Of course I'm probably wrong I do not know the first thing about breeding dogs and I have very limited experience with even owning dogs. It's just my analytical side crunching the numbers. I do however get exactly what you're saying.

[SASS]

Yup I hear you Tanner. Good luck to all you men either way. I hope you are all successful to your own standards.

Mr Eberle why everything with you toward me has to be in a negative tone I do not know. I answered your questions now could you answer mine in an intelligent form. Come for a hunt one day you might find im not to bad of a guy. Maybe you should practice what you preach and let Jesus into your own life. Andy

Andy, to answer your question on a definition of Ultimate Bobcat Dog is according to Dan, I'd refer you to the original post on this thread. He states pretty clearly his goal. I think it is a pretty good description. I have zero interest personally in spending the hours or money and headaches Dan is going thru doing this. I do however think any dog guy could learn something here. Whether or not it'd be of any use to us is immaterial. I like learning, especially if I spend my time on anything. I hope Dan keeps going on his project and keeps us up on it.

Well thank you Mr Eberle and David for calling me out on a post I say is recreating the wheel. Didn't know you two were Dans moniitors. Please show me were I've been negative to either one of you if so I sure do apolagize. Sure hope this experiment works so one day you can buy that ultimate bobcat dog. Again you are both welcome to come for a hunt with me you might just enjoy it I sure enjoy meeting new hound hunters. Andy

If this project was on the stock exchange, ask yourself how shares you would buy. Be honest!!!!!!

Let's not forget there are many very successful companies who aren't public and for sale in the stock exchange too.

Ok boys now that everyone has spoke their peace. How bout we let Dan get back to either wasting his time and money, or creating the ultimate bobcat dog. Either way it’s a interesting read:) no matter your stance on the subject it’s stirred some sort of intrest in every person commenting! I mean in my experience with the sport of hunting, hound guys are by far the most opinionated hard headed folks so let’s just agree to disagree. Remember we all do this because we love to watch good dogs hunt, i have never met someone who got filthy rich off this sport, it’s usually the other way around:) Good luck Dan!

I tried that agreeing to disagree stuf a long time ago, personall it was no fun. Controversy is a lot more interesting.
