So what does it take to make a special bear dog Pete? (this question is just for Pete)

ike to make one or what is one-

- i didnt want to start the whole " BEAR DOG " or " top shelf " again-
so special dog works for me -

a special dog trees bear on a regular basis -

alone or with company - and lives to old age -


doesnt get outrun - doesnt get whipped off -

using that definition i guess ive never seen one--

so id have to say seldom gets whipped off or outrun-


then maybe ive seen a few-




hes the dog you find under a tree after all the others are in the truck

i dont know what it takes to make one- but i know one when i see one -

lol


how bout more hunting than any sane person can do l - luck , - generations of breeding and culling -
a buddy of mine has had a couple- - he was able to hunt 6-7 days a week for years - went thru hundreds of dogs -



hes had a half dozen real good dogs but those 2 were a whole different category-
and he had both at the same time--

one time he treed a bear or bayed one solid 30 days in a row -


not hunting days -- 30 calender days -







ive seen one of those dogs just playing with a bear that would send a pretty good dog out of the woods-


and he lived to be 16


lot of potentially special dogs never live long enuff --
