Although this was some years ago he came to my place and stayed a few days and hunted. The walker dogs he had then were as fine a pack of cold nosed , hard working lion dogs as a guy cou...

By your sign in I would have thought you were a bluetick man. Oh well dogs is dogs. I would say you might want to check over there around Ruidoso, Hondo, and that country. Some pretty good walkers dogs over there, a lot of them Washburn bred. In that old hot country you have down there I think you a...

I would get ahold of the most knowledable hound and cat man in your area and get some advice from him. start you pups playing what we call puppy games as soon as they show intrest. Drags, ...

My first dog that was really mine was called Doc. He was a registered English Pointer. He went everywhere with me. Although we always had hounds and birdogs around the place because my Dad and another man ran a bird dog kennel, and training facility. So I always had lots of pups to socialize, but ol...

I don't really like the term Gascon but I guess it has been coined enough that it has become original. My old amigo Al womack was in my opinion the leading breeder and authority on the old fashioned bluetick type hound. The Grande De Blu De Gascogne of France is a distinct breed and has very little ...

For heavan's sake don't play that DVD with small children around. LOL!

Let me just say that not only is Dave a good hunter and trainer, but he also has about the most flowery vocabulary you will ever here.

It is a riot, but not for small kids or others that can't stand a little fould language.

Good information Nora.We do not stress the foundation percentage in our horses, but we do lean heavily on them in the crosses we make. No doubt Three Bars, and Leo had as much impact on the breed as a whole in the early days as any. The crossing of the TB stock horse blood onto the foundation which ...

How the dog fighting issue could affect hunters.

I am sure you heard about the quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons, Mike Vick, that is being prosecuted under animal cruelty laws for being involved in a dog fighting ring. Anyway it is all over the news out here and the presidents of both the Humane Society of America and PETA are giving a lot of in...

Looks good Spanky! I like the way you are crossing them and it is along with the method called static terminal sire which has been very successful and regarded for a long time. Also I think you have a great idea in placing these pups with hunters you know so you can track the progress of the whole l...
