Texas

At least twelve hours is cold. Had a pig bust out of a pen right in front of me. I counted it gone and put another pig in the pen. About twelve hours later I was taking her to the pen and when we crossed the path I saw the pig run her nose hit the ground hard and all the playing was over. She tracked it onto a neighboring property so I had to call her off. I train dogs to come off a pig when called because of the hunting laws here. You have to have permission from the land owner to remove a pig. If I step one foot on the property I am trespassing. But I talked with the land owner and he said he saw the dog where he shot the pig early that morning. That is when she became my main dog.

I will figure the picture thing out and post some pictures of my hog dogs. They don't hold still long.

I am from Houston Texas in the USA. I have two bay dogs with two in training and one catchdog. I have a Blackmouth Cur bay dog that has a cold nose and a Catahoula that is almost as good. I have another Catahoula and an English Pointer coming up. My catch dog is an American Bull Dogo cross from the Uglydog line off the Uglydog Ranch. My wife says my dogs are as crazy as me and almost as sweet.

I understand I have to post and reply to get more access. Different terms are used down under. But I need lighter for my bay dogs but it has to stop a tusk and but my catch dog needs the armor from a tank. The terain varies greatly depending on which way I go. I know a lot is personal taste. But when you have boar walk out of the woods with dogs on his back you know you never send them out unprotected.

I do my hog doggen up in Texas. I live just outside Houston. It is getting hot up here and I understand y'all know a bit about heat. We use cut vests to protect our dogs but when it gets hot we either hunt at night or take the vests off. I won't run without a vest so that limits my hunting. I was trying to find out more about the breastplates y'all use and I want to read about the way y'all run your dogs. I do not really say howdy, I use a four-wheeler instead of a horse, but I do know how to ride a horse.
