  1. Yep in nature it don't pay to get hurt or injured in anyway.
  2. Whats left of em yes. He made it look easy. His daughter use to til the last 2 years. She just turned 7 and the miles have caught up to her. She still looks ok on the outside for the most part but she is not ok. I only ran her a couple times this last winter just to show her to a few guys but other than that she is pretty much retired. We just bred her to a grandson of Stitch. We shall see. What a beautiful gyp. Being sired by your Stitch out of a Jake daughter, man, what a performance bred girl to raise a few pups out of. If her mother was one of Jakes daughters was it out of my Timex gy

  4. badger, That yella bitch on the box is a grand daughter of Jake that Neal Hardesty owned. I'm sure ya knew that but I just thought Id throw that out there.
  5. I really wish I had some of my old clips to show you. I think you would enjoy them much more.
  6. well you keeping the line tight Dan, and both good proven dogs, prob the best way to go .Do you ever out x to a pure greyhound , or a deerhound , more so the greyhound to had bit more speed , or do the stag line you keep hold enough speed with every generation . Just curious thats all Dan , as over its either lurcher x lurcher , or pure running dogs used greyhound, whippet, saluki, deerhound , back working breeds collies, terriers , etc I don't breed that often to be honest. I haven't really used any pure greyhounds that I can think of. My dad bred a field trial greyhound
  7. What's the black and tan with white points? He was a collie grey x Bull grey mate Ive often wondered why more folks over yalls way don't use them types. As an outsider lookin in it makes sense that they'd be good to go but I really don't know.
  8. This is the grandson of the Stitch dog over his daughter. Gonna be big b*****ds but its all we got so we make do.
  9. Id say it is dying out sorta but its a very slow death. There are plenty of youngsters runnin dogs. My 3 are out every weekend with me and I can name prolly at least a few dozen other families like that as well. I kinda screwed up your quote cuz I deleted too much of it and then forgot to respond to part of it. The drone video is not the standard at all. Take care
  10. Still got the hounds pal? Get some pics up if ye have please, none a you in ye dungarees tho haha Any hounds about now Dan? Yes I'm back into the hounds. I got out for a couple years but my dad kept the blood going so now I'm back at it pretty much right where I left off.
  11. He died the year before. Snapped his front leg in 2. Them kinda dogs are just too damn big and they always get hurt. Other than that he was a fine animal. Throat dog and had enough speed to catch most coyotes once he got rollin. Got too hot though but Ive noticed that in several lines and so have many of my buddies. Its just not just his line. We've ran into it hear and there over the years. I like the looks of that dog on the box in your above post. It's parts are in the right places and I like how it's muscles are laid out. She loos part July or something like that, is that the c
  12. I don't personally but sure folks use them here and there. They're not much good on coyotes though. Even the 3/4s are too slow to be of much use. My buddies that have fooled with em say they get fast enough when only 1/8th bulldog in em. I had one but he was not of much use. He was ok in the speed department but he wasn't much on the killin part. He did 1 single though so I was pretty happy with that. Over a short time though he softened up and then he pretty much quit. Coyotes bite very very hard and they make a lot of dogs quit. Its just all part of it. Edited to say that the one he did
  13. I road my dogs a lot and the we also just walk hunt them on creeks plus kinda road em down creeks. Its hard to explain if you're not from here. But no there is nothin special we do. Bout the only way you can really get one in tough shape it to run em on coyotes. Missed the last part of your message. Yes it can be a challenge to breed coyote dogs. Its a challenge to breed any dogs actually.

  15. This was the Stitch dog that Andy Rocks gave me. I could never thank him enough for that. What a dog! Taught me what to look for in a good one.

  17. Those dogs in that video are no good. That being said single handed coyote dogs are not easy to come by but they are also not as hard to find as some may try to make you believe. It usually comes down to the fact that most people are too chicken shit to find out cuz they don't want their dog to fail. Good throat dogs will always pin a coyote single handed as long as they are not completely gassed when they get there IF THEY GET THERE. The run up is extremely hard on a dog unless you are a bumper dumpin. Plus the plowed ground around here when frozen is a mother f****r to run on and the coyote
  18. It was a mistake mating the lad who bred him was away at work and his missus was watching the dogs so his Laguna whippet caught her.but I checked with Jeff after leaving the blokes house about the dams breeding incase the lad was telling a porky. Gotcha. Mistake breedings sometimes make some crackers. HAHA!
  19. Why did he use whippet instead of greyhound? Was it cuz he could find a better whippet? Size? I just wonder
  20. Some mature slower than others but make far better workers in every aspect of dog work from sporting to cattle to assist dogs. While I agree with you maybe that some dogs do mature slower but in the end make better dogs than say their siblings, I personally would never keep a dog that was slow to mature. I cant stand it and they wont make it on my yard. I prefer an early starter that just keeps getting better and better til they obviously slow down due to age. Its the only kinda dog I will keep.
