I know somone who has a dog who runs it all... Bobcat, coon, lion and bears.. The dog catches coon, lion and bears but excells on the cats.. The dog is a bobcat catching machine.. The guy probably wastes her on running the other game.. But he doesn't like to sit idle and wants to be catching something.. The dog's sire was the same way... ran everything but was just one of those freaky bobcat dogs...

That was no help I know.. Not many of those freaky bobcat dogs out there..

I run cats and coons with mine.. I can tell when I have been pushing the coons hard.. It takes the dogs just a little bit to adjust back to running bobs.. They do it then I start catching cats again.. I enjoy the heck out of coon hunting so I probably won't be breaking my dogs off anytime soon.. Plus.. there aren't any coon up where I bobcat hunt and not many bobs where I coon hunt.. So I don't really have to worry about that at all..

All the broke foxhunters I know will stomp the tar out of a dog messin with coons including myself! We hunt around swamps all the time and run across a occasional coon and kill him on the ground! We are finding more and more coons in the cut overs her also and that makes it bad. I will get rid of one in a min if he gets to bad on coon. The dogs that we hunt run fox in the summer and cats in the winter! The dogs can run a cat alot better in the winter than they can a fox sometimes. I am not picky tho, I just want to hear a good race and possibly put him on the dog box!

Well a dog is a dog and they are all different, just like people. I was talking with a friend of mine the other day and he brought up a good point, a lot of dogs are capable of being bobcat dogs. It is a lot harder to make a bobcat dog out of a dog who started running bears or lions. If the dog starts with bobcats chances are much better that the dog can be a bobcat dog and run the others. That said, I started three dogs on bobcats and everyone of them will leave a bob track for a lion, but, they will tree bobcats. For some reason my dogs have a thing for lions (not uncommon). I think if I had started them on lion or bear, the bobcat drive wouldn't be nearly as strong, (what game is harder to learn and catch?), just my thoughts (not worth much).
