My ol bull JULY and the old gyp retreiving the coyote or her daughter(not shown) should make some proper bull x stag pups. Not trying to sell, just showing a little different breeding combination. yours....bob
-
No probs. These "third world" sighthounds are tough stuff, and put our western fat pooches to shame. Our western dogs aren't put to shame by dogs like yours, you have obviously never seen proper american coyote dogs in action. Speed, stamina, fighting power with feet to hold up to stone and frozen fields. Ask any of your brittish or irish brothers that have been over to New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming etc. Every one to a man I have met that has moved here has switched from longdogs and lurchers to coyote staghounds. I have killed hundreds of coyotes which are

well done, I couldn't be more pleased

There are a very few dogs that are fast enough to catch a coyote and then tough enough to finish a good one, not many at all but they do exist. Most coyote hunters run three for a sure catch and a quick humane kill. Also, two or three experienced dogs will take little, maybe even no damage occassionally, while a sigle dog would take damage that might put it out of commission for a while. Remember, these are pest varmints that ranchers want dead and gone. Do they fight, heck yes, they are just smaller wolves. I have a young male stag that hammers a fox dead quick, time and again, but can't ha

This was the second coyote of the morning, called in on a baby lamb call, handled by "the Boyz" Driver is the black, Pokey the white spot, brothers out of the old Gypsy bitch who is old fashioned Russian blood. No pit bull added, none needed

a poor distance pic of my dog and two pups on a coyote this week p.s. anybody want to donate a better camera, or should we just get a better photographer?
-
just a couple pics of my little shaggy pat, Vixen (alias Weirdo) and a coon my brother and I dug. She is the smallest I own, just over a year old. Thank goodness for Deben collars, they moved about fifteen feet from where she entered to where they finally settled up the hill. Not too deep, easy digging for around here, and we were back to the house in time for holiday desert

I got two more coyotes yesterday, got the pics in the camera but if you guys don't want to see them I'll just tell the film developers to delete them p.s. Timex is in heat so her son Saker has stepped up to the plate as #1. Well, at least for a few weeks
-
what a job! good on you boys by the way, what is a "B&F"?
-
July is the Carver dog in the bottom picture playing. Timex is the black stag bitch throating the coyote in the top pic. The two whites in the top pic were 10 month old pups just getting going, turned into nice ones. I'm sorry that wasn't more clear in the first post
-
yes they can take some stick if one of them doesn't pin it by the head or neck. Coyotes are actually small wolves, not big foxes. The big yellow pup in the pic has crunched foxes in less time than it took to type this line, faster than the bullx's i've owned(but i DO like bull x) but a good coyote takes some effort, that's for sure

Hot blood=track bred greyhound, tatooed greyhound, pure speed cold blood= bred for the field, looks greyhound but might have a touch of something else in there somewhere, usually a little tougher, more distance staghound=coyote dog, often but not always carrying some hair. blend of old style wolfhounds, deerhounds, greyhounds and some fighting dogs, set pretty much as a strain for decades with a touch of this and that as needed now and then
-
Yellow bitch "Tia" is Saluki/coldblood x Saluki/staghound. The brindle pup was "P Bear" a staghound x hotblood greyhound. The black bitch "Timex" is a wolfdog.
-
July, my favorite jughead. Ever seen a dog that could both open sooo wide and then shut tight? lol Timex is my favorite stag, the black gyp It is about time for a couple replacement pups. I have speed, so for crunch I believe I will breed July to Timex and the pups should be ready to start next fall.

just getting the hang of it, hope this works

this coyote had been hitting the chicken yard of a friend of mine. I called him in on a cottontail distress. He tried to get behind me to use the wind and i sent the dogs to him before i would have liked to, he was still too far out in my opinion. They took him through two fences and my younger male kept him from hitting the woods, turning him out into open pasture where they caught him, about 3/4 mile from the slip. I couldn't see which dog actually made the hit, but by the time I got over there it was all over and the dark dog was carrying him back towards me (no, he doesn't retrieve live to

I got caught out too far from the truck without a light about 15 years ago. I had a whippet x (Patterdale/pit) that I was running cottontails with, had two tied to my belt. It had gotten dark and no moon, the hair on my neck raised and the dog wanted to hit the treeline behind us but i kept him with me. I could hear something big every so often, it just shadowed us for half a mile. Back at the truck i got the light and gun and headed back and found bear tracks right on our tracks for a good ways. It must have been hungry cause most bears hibernate in Colorado at Christmas time. I'm not sure th

too bad you boys haven't seen good american coyote bred staghounds, if they aren't smashing fox by 9-10 months old they are culls. Some coyote dogs take more punishment in a day on 3,4, 5, coyotes than a lot of dogs probably take in a season otherwise. and yes, i do have bull x and i do love them also, but the upclose bull x blood is not necessary to have a truly hard fast dog with stamina and the willingness to take punishment. There are much better more dedicated hunters here than me that take over a hundred coyotes a winter with a couple trio of dogs, these dogs can go to the well a time o

five bucks here says its a catahoula x pit, how far wrong am I?

This is a pic of Tia (saluki/greyhound xsaluki/staghound), one of my jackrabbit(hare) dogs. Also in the pic is a staghound x hotblood pup. Just a shot from this side of the pond, bob

Pic of Tor's mum with her short tail
-
bad luck there, but they weren't bred to stay safe in a pen, were they? Tor's mother only has half a tail, and she's the best coyote dog i've ever owned (looks like a 70 pound leggy Pattedale )

i do a "squeeze gut" when in the field on a warm day and it will be a while to get back to the house, it empties the intestines but not the heart and lungs. once you know how, it takes less than 2 minutes to skin and gut a rabbit. My wife can do it in under a minute, no kidding. I don't know about the UK, but here in the states always be sure to check for spots on the liver, and good luck and have fun

i use an EverReady car jumpstarter that i took apart and removed the charger cables from. Kye told me about them, easy to handle and mine has two plug ins for lights (cigarette lighter style plug). I have two, keep one charged all the time and have more lamp time than i want to be out on a cold dark night
-
personally, i like to cull a litter down to 7 or eight of the strongest pups. it is better on the bitch and the average joe will raise healthier pups
