Leopard hounds?

[peachcreek]

I have been reading allot on here about leopard hounds. I hog hunt and currently have some cat hound(trig/july/r walker)/ cur crosses that are doing great. I first started out hog hunting with catahoulas and soon became disappointed in their nose and bottom. I am pretty happy with my dogs now but i have always liked the spotted up pretty dawgs. now to my question, i keep reading about the leopard hounds brains... Are really all that much smarter than any other hound? Are leopard hounds usually fast on track? Do they usually run wide open mouthed? I might be interested in giving one a shot here on these east texas hawgs.... Please post any pics you have of a true leopard hound.

I would love to find some leopard stock(big game) from the N.W., They tend to be more of a heads-up winder but will run w/ nose down when needed. Great locate dogs for sure. The 2 that i had were great dogs. Very smart.

From what I hear, Nick Riley from up around Seeley has some nice Leopards...delivered a pup for him a couple years back and she seemed smart as a whip. He's on the site here.

From the article above the leopard cur sounds like the stories i used to hear about a catahoula. i just never found a catahoula that was as good as the stories. Lol

Give Randy Oller a call. He is a great guy that loves talking hounds. He should be able to answer your questions first hand.

if you like the running dog crosses you can also get some leopard spotted julys

It's the same with Leopards, there are a few lines that do it like the stories. When you get a good one you'll know why people wrote those stories.

I called and talked to Randy Oller and if you all are like Randy I want to talk to you.

He is an awesome person to talk to and LOVES talking Leopard Curs.

nick riley has produced some really good dogs.I have had 2 dogs I got from him as pups I sold 1 for 4500 and another for 4000 The guys I hunt with told me I was crazy for not asking for more and the guys that have them now are really happy with the dogs.
