talk to some of them boys over in michigan they have what it takes, there running in them swamps and also there are some others in so carolina there running in that thick brush on the coast.and we have some out in ca. but thats to far i recommend talking with the owners of these dogs and then go hunting with them you will find what you want, takes time and money [mostly time.]
some of the nance dogs are good on cat but not tight enough on bear for me just my opinion

JMO , I think grit comes from Lipper. More Lipper=More Grit. Also Nailor bred top and bottom is a good bet for gettin game up a tree.

Hey Idaho, are you talking about the dogs owned by guys like Kenny Higgs and Wert Hamrick? Just curious, I knew those guys from field trials and they had some really good Walkers, and if I was to go that route I would sure try to figure out how to get dogs that go back to Kenny and Wert.
If that isnt what your referring to do you know what Kenny and Wert were hunting?
Just curious!

I have tried about all of them and am still open to others. But I have to say these Bozo Dogs are getting it done for me.
I run several different dogs in my pack and take on alot of different breeds every year to run for other people, and the Bozo dogs are leading the pack for me.

Re: best strain of walkers for bear
Everything that I am hearing here is true to my knowledge. My buddy and I have ran Nailor, Lipper and Tar Heel Nitro dogs for the past eight years and we havnt culled any yet. We have also hunted with dogs from Hickory Nut Harry and Bozo, and they too got the job done. I believe it boils down to how much time and effort you put into the dog. Dont get me wrong, the bloodlines mentioned make it alot easier, thats for sure.
Good luck to all of you and hope to meet a few of you someday.

Re: best strain of walkers for bear
the yadkin river strains are biting bear for me .the other qualities im seeing out of them are also impressive .lines are only as good as the current dogs their producing . dogs doing it in your area would definately be the way to go.
