"darn good" and "the best" are two very different things, and two very different breeds!

He was out of a cur of Ernie Crammer's and a dog named Copper. I think Wade Lemmon had the Copper dog. And I think that dog was red and white in color. Plott if any it wasn't much.


All the Kamphouse dogs around here are red in color,I only brought it up because i know Van uses that line some.

A bear dog doesn't know what breed it is. There are lots of bear dogs out there. You will find more in the walker breed.

I guess if you were using them for bait they would do an ok job, maybe, wouldn't surprise me if one came back from the dead to turn tail and run

roflmao again and again! Funniest thing I've read since the story about the bear removers.........

A man wakes up one morning in his Alaska home to find a bear on his roof.

So he looks in the yellow pages and sure enough, there's an ad for 'Bear Removers.'
He calls the number, and the bear remover says he'll be over in 30 minutes.

The bear remover arrives, and gets out of his van. He's got a ladder, a baseball bat,
a shotgun and a mean old pit bull.

What are you going to do,' the homeowner asks?

'I'm going to put this ladder up against the roof, then I'm going to go up there and knock the bear off the roof with this baseball bat. When the bear falls off, the pit bull is trained to grab his testicles and not let go. The bear will then be subdued enough for me to put him in the cage in the back of the van.'

He hands the shotgun to the homeowner.

'What's the shotgun for?' asks the homeowner.

'If the bear knocks me off the roof, shoot the dog..'

Nope, guess I have what a guy calls a mixed pack of redbones and English crosses with only one Shamrock/Weems bred plott. It does, however, give me a leg in both buckets so to speak and they do pretty well..............

It sounds like you have done well on the bears, keep up the hard work and good luck on the up and coming Weems pups.........
