so did you just take him along and let him work the line with ya? He figured it out then.

Tan gyp is a bmc and she has a nose that doesn't miss. The pups are out of her by a mountain/kimber male, they are 2 weeks old and will hopefully make some good trapping/decoy dogs. The red gyp is a bmc/ridgeback cross and is an absolute killer, unfortunately she was spayed when I got her.

Yes acron I think ya just gotta take them along with you and let them learn what you are doing whether it be running traps or squirrel hunting it doesnt take long for a smart well disciplined dog to figure out what you want from him. My cur loves to tree squirrels its his favorite thing in the world, but he knows when we are following coyote or cat tracks that squirrels have to wait. I was even able to get him to blood trail a deer that a friend made a bad hit on last winter he took the trail almost 1/4 mile past where we had found the last blood and was standing over the dead deer barking when we caught up with him. Those are some beautiful pups BMC! They should be an awesome cross.

Thanks Okie that helps a lot guess (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) be running with me this year

Good deal! Don't know where I would be without my hunting and trapping buddy.

Here's my pup, re killin a groundhog and supervising a set lol.

Yes I started him riding in the truck his 1st season at just a couple months old.

My Hanging Tree Cattle Dog...STORMY ... becoming a great trap line partner

Bob1454, I hadn't noticed your Airedale pic last time I checked out this thread. Nice Airedale!! Would it happen to be a smooth coated "Red-Line" breeding. If so where did you get the dog?

Thanks, Houben

Tom's trapline dog is the first partner he's had who looks better than he does!!!!!

SUE, (boy named Sue) 8 year old Chesapeake.

This here is Maxi, my 11 year old Jack Russel. She doesn't get as excited as she used to a few years back but she is good company!

she loves going on rides, checking traps, or in this case trying to find my sunken traps, then we're tired!
Check out this muskrat hut!
pulling a sled? don't even bother!

These are my friends dogs with my lion, we've been getting ready for this season the past couple days.

Here is my pup. Mt. Cur. He has been treeing some squirrels and he will be riding along on the trapline this year.

I liked this thread. I'm bringing it back up. First pic is Sophie. Second pic is Gator, my male pup out of Sophie and my dad's airedale. The plan is trapline dogs and decoy dogs. Gator is almost 10 months now.

Good looking dogs, I’m still giving alex crap for not getting one from you. I also like this thread. This was my first decoy trapline mutt Marv, we learned a lot together.
