DOgs?

IS their anybody on here running yotes with hounds? Used to do it years ago with a group was thinking about getting back into it a bit. Ws wonding if anybody had opions on what breeds they like and dont like?

I knew one family that ran dogs for coyotes (and coons, fox, etc) but they got out of it a few years back. Logistics and upkeep just got too complicated and expensive. It was also time-consuming in the extreme because once you cut them loose, you’re going to be hunting until the last dog is collected. Which could be 2 days later.

As far as breeds, they preferred thier own cross-breed. It reminded me of the way sled dog racing is now where the breeders are not hide-bound by purebred showdog thinking and they are looking at each dog for what it has and then when they want more speed, stamina, or drive, they breed up the two dogs that they think have that to see if they get more of it.

We’ve ran coyote hounds for a while now. There are a lot of guys around that do. We only have three hounds but would run with other guys with more dogs. We kind of quit running a couple years ago. I hunt Terriers pretty hard and kind of lost interest in the hounds. Most guys around here run Running Walkers or a mix of something close.
