Nice pics.

What part of NY r u in.

always wanted to chase one of those critters but we just dont have any on this side of the border.

Ive always been a serious coonhunter, & I dont have much experiance yet with REAL bear dogs, but that looks like a darn nice picture to me of a mixed pack doin a good job. If for some reason these r not true bear dogs because there teethe r not sunk in fur during the picture, than I would be glad to ...

Thanks for all the replies. After reading all the posts I think I should change the question a bit. Maybe not looking for the most grit, but looking for a line of dogs that absolutely will not leave a bear, dont really care if they pull hair, or they stand 30 feet away & bay just stay with it no ...

Luke,

This is my amateur opinion so take it for what it's worth. Find a bear hunter who hunts similiar condidtions to you, hunts a lot and catches a bunch of bear. Then get something from his "line". I wouldn't worry much about what color it is, it's build, how mentally tough it is or if it can ...

I realize there r good & bad in every line, but Im gonna throw another one out there to get some opinions.

What lines of dogs out there r known for having the most grit to hang with a mean bear no matter what. Something thats known to stick with it in a pack or by its self. Maybe not the fastest ...

Got this out of the 2009 Blue book

Thanks so much for the invite. Im gonna do my best to get down to Maine with some of u guys & have some fun in the new year. Keep my fingers crossed for good conditions. Ive always been fascinated with these cats & wanted to see some good dogs work them. We just dont have any here in my ...

Spruce mountain- Thanks for the reply. Whats the best time of year in Maine to go, & what type of dogs do you use.

I understand totally what your saying. I wasnt looking to load up all I got & & show up to dump with somebody. Just more interested in seeing what it is all about. If I got an opurtunity sometime to try some of my potlickers on them then that would be great, but if not than thats fine too ...

Nice looking young dogs there & interesting combination of blood. You got any more pics of your dogs in action, would love to see them. Thanks

I live in southeastern Ontario Canada. I have always been interested in bobcat hunting with hounds, but we have no cats here. I wondered if there was any cat hunters in the northeast (NY,Maine,Vermont,NH) US that wouldnt mind a canadian taggin along sometime. I dont need to kill any cats, just ...

Where r these dogs out of & r there any pics or more info on here. Sorry for all the questions, but Im a newbie to the site.

Looking for opinions on what the best line of blue dogs is for bears. Mostly focused on the ones with the most gritt to hang with a tuff bear. Not interested in if they have extreme cold noses or not. Track speed would be good, but # 1 quality Im looking for is gritt. Dogs that absolutely wont leave ...
