Anybody out there hunting dogs out of john wicks camo jug (leopard cur) and walker cross he made a few years back?

I am also interested to see if anybody is having any luck with any of wicks dogs, they sound great.

Thanks Gabe

From what he posted today, none of Johns Wicks dogs have made it out west http://forums.ukcdogs.com/showthread.ph ... genumber=2 #7 and #11 of Johns posts

now a Jug Bred Leopard/Walker Cross is a different story

Doogie, do you know of any dogs of this line (leopard or cross bred) that are being hunted on big game here in the west? I know of a few, but would be interested in learning a few other opinions of their abilities. Thanks for any help! j

from what I know of heres the break down of Jug bred Leopards and Jug bred crossbreeds out west

Jug Bred Leopards
2 in MT, unknown number in CO, unknown number in UT, and 1 in CA

Jug Bred Leopard/Walker Crossbreds
2 in MT, 2 in UT, 2 in NV and 1 in SD

before the switch from the shadetree to the biggamehoundsmen board, the owner of the crossbred dog in SD is the only one that was not a member. I know for sure the owners of the Leopards in MT, UT, and CA and the owners of the 2 crossbreeds in MT are current board members

I have two hounds that have some leopard in them, but not real sure on the lineage. I know that father is a high tan from Chris Todd in S. Arizona. The mom has the leopard in her, but I do not know what else, or where, or how much. What I do know is the dogs are smart, and one of the two I have is really starting to turn it on. The other is a little slower in maturing, but I think both should do ok in the long term. They are only 8 months old, so the jury is still out though.

I have a Jug/Walker cross that I got from John in 2004 as a 3 year old. She was well started, but only used for coon at the time.
Her mother was a direct daughter of Rat-Attack. She looks just like a Walker and has made a great lion hound. This hound is cat crazy and although age is starting to catch up to her she still runs a track well and has always been a stand on the tree slober mouth machine gun chop tree dog. Although I had to correct her a little at first she has been trash free for many years now and I have used her to check on a number of my young dogs. If you ask John about Honey, I am sure he will remember this hound. This is one hound out of the cross you ask about that has made a good Lion dog. I am in Northern New Mexico, so you can add that to the list of Western States these crosses are in.
