leopards on bear

[chilcotin hillbilly]

I have a leopard coming this fall. Does anyone consistantly catch bears with them?? I see most are used on cats and don't see a lot of info posted on hunting bears with them.
Just thought i would give them a whirl.
Thanks Doug

Lepcur and Grey Fox run a ton of bears with theirs, they are bear dogs first and foremost!

I think you'll really like them on bear, they do a good job for me and they make hunting alot more enjoyable too. Mike

After having both and using and treating them the same you will notice a difference on how 1 can pick up things a lot faster. Not saying that one is better than the other and every dog has traits that are better and worse but it all boils down to the owner and how they train, hunt and everything else with a dog. Some dogs just fit people and there style and attitude better with how they hunt.

I thing I have noticed, when I started a walker pup with my two cur dogs, Burger and Cookie the pup soon took to trailing and running a track, and drifting it at a run leaving the other trail type hounds in the dust. I find the hounds will behave the same as a cur, they just take more work to get to the same place.

I agree, you can MAKE a hound listen, I had hounds before these leps. and I know the differences, I'm just saying why force them when the leps do it naturally and I've never seen 1 hound break off of off game like these dogs do. Believe me, I went thru the lead pills because I got tired of the hard headedness and ya still have to go thru the headaches to get them to handle. JMO Mike
