we have spoken a few times on here..I am the dogman who might take a nap or two night hunting. Dogs will cuddle up next to me when they circle back and is so lazy uses the same dog names over and over again. We run and tree the normal southern game and then decoy coyotes with kemmer stock mountain curs and ladner yellow blackmouth curs and have one very small and very tough jagdterrier. In california in the old days ran star mountain plott lines and jagdterriers. We getting ready to have our first bear hunt in our state. Lots of bear here but not legal to hunt or tree. But stuff happens. Like in cal when we were bear hunting, sometimes a mountain lion would show up in a tree. Now days a bear snapping their teeth and in a spotlight, a strange sight and sound at night. Leash the dogs and move off no harm no foul. Except i might have fouled my pants in fear, being old and lightly armed.
I'll have to look up those dog breeds you posted. Here is our Maltese-coat Plott Hound, '3M Clarence's Bella Coola.' (He goes by, 'Coola.') :
I do the puppy raising and basic commands training and Beau takes it from there. My dogs would defend me to their last breath, though I hope to never have them prove it!
