By the recomadations a bought a walker pup.can someone tell me about the Kansas dancer line of walkers. The pup is house and kansas dancer on top and Kansas dancer on the bottom.
Thanks Wayne

New to English hounds,what line is used for big game and who has them?

I can't answer that because he is so far away I can't get there,lol,He has put them up before and he real gritty and I think if the bear stood and faught he would like it better so I'm hopeing he is,I guess there's alot of things that can go on at the tree.He does the same thing when he trees ...

I have a 1 1/2 yr old cur,he runs bear and puts them up with out help,he just started this year,I don't have any dogs to run with him yet,I haven't shot any out to him,my ? is he won't stay at tree till I get there,he leaves tree and comes back to me,bear bails out and is gone,I too only started ...

I have 4 that Ive got to run bear and bobcats.I can tell you this because I went through it.If your gonna run big game get a cur from big game curs.Don't believe the hype that these curs will run anything.I have a cur from squirrel and coon dog stock.He has run bears but he loves to chase a squirrel ...

Thanks Jeff i agree 100%.It is pretty much my own undoing.

I understand where your coming from Wayne. One thing to keep in mind and this is just one guys opinion. Curs are not hounds and IMHO should not be handled like a hound. An example that has similarities I like to think works is mules and horses. Lots of horse folks have no clue on how to properly ...

Wayne have you given the Leopard Curs a try? May just be exactly what your looking for. Good luck.
No i havent but if these guys dont work out,i think im going to get a couple of hounds.I have no experience with leopards i can only speak of mountain curs.It just started off bad, guys were telling ...

Well i seem to have found a few curs used for big game,and coon,i found a pup in ny and another in tenn. 1 kemmer and 1 original mtn cur,the man in last months full cry had a litter and am waiting for my turn to pick, should be ready in may,its been a long road and its hard to run curs after you ran ...

i have a mtn cur i would like to get on bears

hard headed and seem to be late starters and gritty buggers but yeah i was looking for a female in ny,there seems to be a couple I have the yearbook and I only see silver bear and a pope but there's many in the east

Thanks to all the input + or - its all good!!!!!!!

When you say outlaw curs do you mean MVC's lol lol,because they are an outlaw cur as far as the kemmer cur breeders are concerned,ive been looking into the kemmer stock peds and found this to be true as far as the papers go.Most mvc are from gold nugget blood the foundation blood of the kemmers,when ...

Thanks,im have to start mine without any trainers and i never started pups without one so starting from scratch.Is there a way to start them to strike from the box?
