Mutt work with him he will be all you need. Check out your local shelter. There are a lot of good dogs that need a good home and can be found at a shelter. Doesn't cost anything to look.
Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.

I have a yellow lab mix that I'm gonna try this year. He's a pain, and will be on a lead (may not be worth the time), but I'm gonna try it just to see if he can "show" me what I may be missing. We'll see, season starts soon, so maybe I'll have info before long!..LOVE the mutt idea, best dogs I've ever had were free/mutts! Best of luck.

I once had a coon pull a trap. I went back home and returned with my Water Spaniel. She tracked the coon to a tree that I ended up shooting him out of.
I never took her with me trapping, but I think she would have been a good trapping dog.
The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.

I have an Airedale/Lab mix, she is a great dog. Finds coyotes and cats on drags without fail, retrieves birds, has even dug a badger out of a hole for me. you name it she really is an all purpose dog. Both of those breeds on their own though are fabulous dogs. You really can’t go wrong with a Lab or an Airedale.

Love the dog pictures. I don't know much about calling but would like to learn. A good Lab is pretty hard to beat as a all around dog. Most are very smart and trainable. Had an English Setter that was a great dog on finding drags.

I've posted pics before on here of our little feist, Ernie the wonder dog. Don't forget no matter what dog you take be sure to keep the shots up to date. Ernie tries to eat coyote poo all the time. God knows what all parasite and worm eggs he can pick up in that stuff. Then there is blood to be exposed to, and all that can pose to the mutt. Other than that, have fun. Best trapline dog I've ever had. Loves to tree coons. Also pretty scrappy around coyotes and one heck of a nose and ears on him. Can find pee spots very well. Jim

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Here are a couple "Sticka Dogs" from Montana. Ziggy and JoJo have turned out to be great dogs. Ziggy in particular. She is soon to be five and I have thought of raising a litter if I had enough interest but this spring will probably be the last chance I would consider. I have also used Airedales for twenty-five years with great success. We raised pups for a long time and have had multiple adult Airedales. A real trapline dog is not just a mutt that rides shotgun on the trapline. They actually do a job. If they are not focussed on the game you are after and are not manageable they are just a pain in the butt. If they are focused on game and properly trained they are a bunch of fun and very useful. Just curious what is a “Sticka” dog ?? Thanks
