before the population exploded in Texas (1 million and growing), they used to catch them in the summer and barr them, then turn them loose to catch again in the fall/winter for eating. so yeah, unless it is feral hog from a line of domestics w/o taint, it's only fit for dogs and frenchmen

anyone?

does anyone KNOW about any that may be about? especially if they're being bred.

you can eat a vulture but most people won't unless they have to. eat the dove. i can't imagine it being significantly different from the doves we shoot & eat here.

Could a Lakeland Patt or Russell defend itsself from a coyote?
Pops replied to frosty's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
blackntan i think they'd do just fine. Dan E who has posted in the lurcher section actually does run coyote w/ scent hounds. i bet he's got some dandy photos. -

me personally, i don't care to cross breed dogs of the same type. i don't think their is any significant gain. i think you gain more by crossing these dogs to true scent hounds, sighthounds & bulldogs. JMO & worth what you paid for it. -
can anyone give me an idea on the height & weight of these dogs?

actually no one knows the exact ancestry of the plott. what is known is that Jonathon Plott already had them when he settled in the mountains of North Carolina. it is alledged that they were boarhunden that he brought from germany, if so that would make them descended of working danes which was the preeminent boarhunting breed at the time. further the brindle version was so popular in the southern portion of germany that it was often called an ulmer after the city of Ulm which is only about 60 miles from the current border of Bavaria. it is also known that Montraville Plott, the last great p -

good on ya. congratulations. and great job mom.

how big are they really, compared to foxhounds?

if they'd been first, they'd been last. oh my poor wife (i'm in Iraq right now, she's been a single mom for the last 6 months)

a lot of working registries here include tats and brands in the description information on individual dogs. the breeder/owner uses whatever they like some just numbers, some just initials (theirs or the kennel name) some use a combination a very few even use designs. those that have registered brands use the same thing they use on their cattle just freezing instead of hot branding. it seems a mess but it works pretty good.

fortunately mine take after their mom. here's a more rescent one of the boys. the one on the left is the younger, but he's a pound heavier. he's sporting what his brother gave him.

nothing like the good book

with in dogs it's crossing different TYPES to get "better" dog. because hereditary defects are usually shared by all breeds within a type crossbreeding within the type doesn't necessarily produce more vigorous dogs. however most hereditary defects are suppressed in the first cross between two different type say terrierXbulldog, terrierXsighthound, sighthoundXbulldog, terrierXscenthound and so on. further breeding of the original cross to include the introduction of an additional breed(s) of types already used allows suppressed defects to reappear.

send her to visit family or friends. while she's gone cancel all her credit cards and change the locks on the doors and cars too (if you can). pack away all the pics w/ her in them and all her stuff. get a female freind to do a family/couple portrait w/ you and put it in a frame on the wall. when she gets back call the cops about a crazy woman in your yard. deny ever having met her. allow a cop, but not her, to tour the house. show him the pic of you & you "wife" as proof. let them cart her off as a nut. when she comes back ask her if she want's to talk about Mr Wonderdick. then tell her h
