Running Dog Men??

[Dan Edwards]

Both of these 2 sniffin at the coyote could get away from dogs. Problem was by the time the red one could the salt and peppered one was 6 or 7 and too damn old to stay with him. That's usually how it goes with me.

Don't get me wrong I don't want one to bark on every leaf while trailing. A simple strike on the road and off the road to every couple of minutes would be great. I know this, a dog that seems to trail a grey fox some, seems to trail a cat a plenty. I don't know why but that seems to hold true. It is a fine line to have too much trailing in this part of the country.

Scrub if you cant handle those traits I might be able to live with it if she'll get after a fox or cat

Dan any of them dogs registered?

[Dan Edwards]

Ya the 2 hounds are. The 2 greyhounds aren't though of course. I don't have the papers on either dog though so cant tell ya much. I think my old man has the ones on the older dog in the pic. He is 9 or 10 now though and so slow and crippled its a shame.

I live in the south where running dogs have been the king for years, like was mentioned earlier pens have been the demise of good solid dogs, I run hogs so could careless if they have any tree to them, what I look for is dogs that have grit, high prey drive, and run to catch, along with nose and brains, I grew up running deer and coyotes with my dad but that was shut down some time ago, here in the last few years I've been on the hunt for the right running dog blood to cross with my cur blood, I've found one gyp that I really like who will bay like a cur dog and can run a hole in the wind, she just lacks the nose, I plan on breeding her to one of mike Cauleys plotts to add nose and more grit, if I can get the stars to line up, I also took one of my cur females and bred to her to one of Harold Parkers heavy bred Mark S dogs he runs bobcats with, those pups will be a year old next month and are solid game and will run the hide off of whatever I put them on, the right bred running dogs are hard to beat in my corner of the woods...

This is grade plott retired off bear and coyotes this bear season she has amazing speed nose to start and can hold any coyote she catches. Prey drive, 23 days after her surgery I was leaving her loose while at work, the wife calls says she took off I said she'll be home at dark, 9pm I jump on the wheeler to look her up barking every breath 1.5 miles from the house and still beat me to the road. No tracking collar on her and getting out of hearing. I had to be up to work at 4 so I head home her brother let me know she was in the yard at 1:45 am. She left around 3 30pm
I am thinking of crossing her trig

That is one good looking dog! That is just the way I like for them to be built. Good hunting.

Terrible shame after 24 trees this bear training season she got busted up on one caught in the corn,she is only 3.5. She was the demise of about 120 coyote and around 80 bear trees. Runs a bobber well but likes coyote too much so was mostly just turned Inn on started chases . I was hesitant to breed her because I was continuing a registered line of plott, with the loss of her leg she will get to raise a litter or two back full plott first, but curious to a running dog cross. Any input on these running x plotts, would like to hear about

That is one of the best made brindle dogs I have seen. I have literally never seen a Plott built that well unless its just 2 really good pics of her.

I have seen some plot x running hounds. I liked them a lot for the most part. They both brought something to the table. Buddy of mine runs a bitch with some plott in her. She is a damn good one.

Any of you guys from the south recognize any dogs in this pedigree, guy I got her from is a field trialer and has two littermate brothers to my gyp who place in every speed and drive trial they are entered in, my gyp lacks the nose I want in one but sure enough puts the speed in the jump...

That's a good looking gyp. Will she bay by herself?

[perk]

Goose, that breeding isn't in my part the country on the east coast. But I recognize the names once you get out the 1st couple generations. I would venture to say that dog is bred to run coyote, inside a pen, not bred to have much of a nose as all those tracks are Hot! Lot a of big name or well know names in that pedigree to list a few butlers big thunder, Jessica lil man (aka 8ball) doves Conway, lake hills rusty, teats banjo, anything that says kearbey is big time July breeding, see multiple crosses of Greyboy. All these are top names in a field trial industry if running coyotes (I'm sure some know better than me and will disagree) but when I see that pedigree all I see is the words 'store's and 'pen dogs'

[Goose]

That's a good looking gyp. Will she bay by herself?

Yes Mr. Mike she will bay by herself, not as hard as a cur dog but that's the reason she's on the yard is because she will, I went through several until I found one that would bay like a cur and when she gets the chance will sink teeth in one, she's an honorary huzzy and don't take much crap from anything including me and I like that about her, if she'd ever come in heat I'd like to bring her over and stick her to one of your males...

She's definitely a trial bred dog, I didn't get her expecting to get a cold nose dog, I wanted speed, I don't use her as a jump dog, I usually add her to the race after the jump is made, once she gets lined out she can really pump the air outa one, I had a grandpup outa valentines Fred that was half catahoula and he was the real deal from the first day I started him, crazy as bat but could and would get the job done, unfortunately I lost him at a young age and have had my eye out for one like him since...

Goose I've owned and been around a many a walker in my time, I can't recall one that wouldn't bay a live critter.
I cleaned these woods out around my house of some bad boar hogs with one ol Buzzard Wing walker male dog. There was a hog farm 1/4 mile south of my house, the gilts would come in season and the wild boars would come up there at night and try to tear into the pens. The owner would call me, I'd take ol Nook down there and put him on it and within a hour or so we'd have some tense moments. That is if ol Nook didn't come across a fresh bobcat track while trailing the hog.
But I don't think I have ever saw a walker dog that would bay a dead critter, I don't know how many deer I have killed dead and saw the dogs just sniff it, jump over it and go to hunting another one.

[scrubrunner]

Ol Nook that I spoke of above was a heck of a hound. He was off of a half Goodman half Walker female that I bred to my dads cousin's Buzzard Wing Walker male. Dads cousin was strictly a bobcat hunter and had bred that buzzard wing line for years. His male that I bred to was the best cat dog I've ever seen. I gave Nook to my hunting buddy when he was a pup. I kept several out of that litter that was good ones too but none lived as long as nook. Nook got what we thought was red mange when he was 4-5 months old. Skin got all red and wrinklely, didn't hardly have a hair on him except a little around his head. Tried everything to cure it for over 6 months to no avail. Then my buddy started putting cattle spot-on down his back every day for a long time, don't remember how long but it was a month or 2. That joker starting growing hair and had the thickest hair I've seen on a walker for the rest of his life and he lived to about 12 years old. I thought for sure my buddy was going to kill him with the spot-on. We run deer, hogs, fox and bobcat with him. Had a good cold nose, if he opened on it he'd jump, might cover a lot of real estate before he did. I kept him at my house for a long time when the hog farmer started having trouble with the boars.
I got into registered dogs and field trialing about that time and dads cousin hadnt keep the papers up on his buzzard wing line so I didn't breed anymore to his dog. Dads cousin eventually got old and quit, l sure wish I had some of that blood now, papers or not.
His dog I bred to name was Rowdy, he outcrossed Rowdy to a good half July, then bred Rowdy to one of those pups, and then bred him again to one of the pups out of that litter. He got 2 jyps out of that last breeding that I don't think anything in this part of the country could run with.
Sorry to ramble on, just sitting here alone reminiscing.
