They have been bred just to catch yotes, and the deerhound is of the old type brought to our country originally 200yrs ago not the same as is seen today, more old wolfhound type... Plus from what I have read it looks like some were crossed with the original type Great Dane as well..

Neither would I Scott, not after I found out anyhow. LOL!

Here is a little description of one of the races.

 

We head back to the wheel line country and each start to take a road. "Capps" calls and says he has one spotted. Its eating on a dead sheep, but in a bad spot to try to get a drop. "Jasshole" comes over on the motorcyle and we come up with a plan for him to circle wide around it and try to push it out to where one of us can get a drop. "Hayhound and I swing wide behind him while "Capps and Workman" go ahead to watch for it to come out in front. We are flying thru the middle of some wheel lines and the coyote breaks ahead of us. We get to a spot that looks good we drop the drivers side box, "Peep, Zorro and Mach" all race out but after about 200 yards we see the coyote is going to make a big ditch line with alot of cover. "Hayhound" pushes the baja hard and is flanking the dogs. We see the coyote push thru the cover and hook left. He wants to run in the cover but with the baja parellell to him he stays just outside it on the other side. The cover is about 4-5 feet high and we have no idea whats in front of us. The dogs on the passenger side box can see him and are screaming to be dropped. The first three dogs hit the ditch and cover and dont know where the coyote went. Some how "Peep" spots it and starts hooking to him. "Hayhound" starts hollering "hows it look, hows it look" well Im thinking he wants to know if he can drop the other box, so I look back at the dogs to be sure they still see the coyote and say "'go ahead" well he wanted to know how the ditch looked, and figures its ok to plunge in at top speed somehow. The next thing I know I go from looking at dogs behind me, to feeling the earth fall out from under me. We drop into the ditch and all I see is the bottom coming hard, I push back to brace myself for the crash but by some miracle the baja doesnt land on its nose and we are catapulted out the other side of the ditch! I see nothing but clouds for a second, then the horizon and THEN I feel the baja touch ground. "Hayhound" is still in the throttle, and turns toward the coyote. It has really gapped the dogs, but when it sees us on its side of the cover it breaks out into the open and "Peep" starts to cut the angle. After about 300 more yards she really starts to close on it. At one point it was looking like she wouldnt catch up, and "Capps and Workman" decided to send her some help. They came in from the top of the field, and as the coyote barreled past them with our dogs strung out behind, they dropped. They came in as a blur from my side but I was so focused on watching "Peep" try to make the catch I didnt see who all was on the ground. I remember "Mustache, Grey and Grace" swooping in. "Peep" takes a lunge at the coyote but it side steps her, then "Mustache" trys and the coyote stumbles, thats all "Grey" needs and he rolls the coyote hard. The rest the dogs arrive in a bunch. "Grey" has the coyote by the head, "Zorro" gets the throat, and "Grace" is in the chest. Its a REAL short fight, as with those 3 on a coyote its lights out right now!

 

Take care.

Thanks fellas, hope you enjoy seeing the pics almost as much as we had making them.

 

dan-I wouldnt feed a dog that couldnt/wouldnt smash a fox single handed.

 

ferret-Only one of the dogs in those pics carries any bull blood. The good stags are plenty tough, they dont need any bull blood, and thats saying something cause Im a bulldog man thru and thru!

 

artic-The space under the big box is where the terrier rides. The doors on the big box are opened from inside the vehicle, when the dogs spot a coyote in the open ground. The dogs then try to run it down and we follow in the vehicle if we can. I also do some calling with a couple dogs on occassion in the country too rough or thick to use the vehicles.

 

Take care.

 

 

Great pics and a good post . Pity you carnt get them stag [lines] over here, they would tackle anything, top dogs

Shoot, you gents got the recipe, now its just up to you to do it. Breed good dog to good dog for 5 generations and you got it brother. Aint no secret and it aint magic. Breed and cull ruthlessly and it wont take long. Most of us boys over here cull very very hard and that is what keeps us in good dogs.
