Re: Do everything cur dog
David, you have a way of scrambling an old country boys brain. I can’t figure out how I ever trained a dog.

Re: Do everything cur dog
I haven't been on BGH a lot lately. I'll explain the UBD and Lep x July pups.
The UBD pups are from a Leopard Hound sire bred to a Lurcher female. The Lurcher is from a Border Collie bred to a Staghound female. Who knows precisely what they will turn out like. I'm hoping they will do everything I want, but they are only available to bobcat hunters. They are the first attempt at satisfying a few questions I have about what a really great bobcat dog should have in it's head and tool box. They spawned out of a question David asked in his book Bobcat Dog. He asked why no one has ever really made a dog specifically for hunting bobcats. Well, I thought yeah, why don't I do that. After all, someone has to jump first.
I have to say, I like them so far, but they haven't really been required to do anything very difficult yet. They're only about 5 months old. I have 9/10 and gave one to Ed Culwell. He also bought 2 of the Lep x July pups. He seems to like the UBD pup quite a lot, but it'll be a while before anyone can say they are more than a nice housedog yet.
The Lep x July pups are a cross of my Lep and Irish Jack's July/Running Walkers. They are some of the smartest game dogs I've seen in a long time. More importantly, Irish Jack is no slouch and knows dogs very well IMO. Pick your people and then pick your dogs. I believe I first heard that said by John Wick. It's sound advice.
Anyhow, I can't say I've liked a bunch of pups any more than I like all of these mutts I've got right now. I hope you find what your looking for but it's 1000 times more likely that you'll be more satisfied with two dogs that pick up eachother's weak spots and work together to get it all done.
I would say that a Leopard and a BC would probably do the trick. Maybe a cross of those two might do the trick if you can only have one dog. I added the Stag to that mix to put a turbo charger on the whole outfit. Funny thing is, you just would have a hard time looking at this litter and telling what they are out of if I didn't tell you ahead of time.
