Was it just a field trial? That is not real good when only one dog makes it to the finish! LOL I am sure it will be a long time before I have the money to buy one of these pups but a man has to have a dream!

Well I guess you would definately want a fast track drivin hound for that. I guess I would just as soon have a pack of medium paced hounds that I could keep up with.

When I used to run coyote hounds I had 4 dogs. We hunted with about 6 other guys we had about 30 dogs all together. My dogs were mainly used as jump dogs. We free cast them and lat them get the yote warmed up then send in help. All of my hounds were slower dogs but we killed a lot of yotes in front of them. They hardly ever over ran a track and never pushed them so hard you couldnt keep ahead of them. I have posted this pic before but these were 2 of my hounds. The lemon and white one I still ahve at my buddies in Iowa.

Heads Up and Pours it on but when the track is Cold the Nose is Glued to the Ground with a Deep Bawl every 10 the 15' ..

Another Interesting French Hound is the Ariegeois which are Crosses of the Petite GS and French Blues or Something like that..lol

HISTORY


Developed in the French province of Ariege, from a series of matings between the Grand Bleu de Gascogne, Grand Gascon-Saintongeois and local Briquet hounds, the Ariegeois excels in hunting hare in the dry, rocky regions of its homeland. (Note: “Briquet” is often mistakenly translated as “Beagle”, but actually does not denote any certain breed. Rather, the term is used to describe medium-sized hounds which are finer-boned, shorter-coupled and more compact than the larger “Grand” breeds.)

I had a red male like that. He was the best I had bar none. He could jump run and fight his own. Someone stole him out of my yard, right off the chain. It broke me I quit coyote hunting and gave my hounds away to friends. The only one I have left is Tango the lemon and white dog. I promised him he would die with me. But he is at one of my best friends house now. As you know my hounds are family to me not just dogs. It was just like kidnapping to me.I looked for him for months and hundereds of phone calls to people I knew that hunted. Never found him.


I had watched the 2 with the Ariegeois. They look pretty good also just not quite as big. Godd mouth to them though. I noticed that 1 dog keep the track though. He would be the one I would want not the dog barking followers. Wish it didnt cost so much to have them imported.

Oh Yes and mike sorry dog work or not. To chase a hog track for 3 miles in 5 minutes or less. That aint to bad for me. I think I would house most any of the hounds that could finish that track in under 30 min. I have seen coon hounds take 45 min to grub a track that went a quarter mile.

The track dog is the key isn't it? How about one that can smell what the others can't? Same old problem next, put serious speed to it. The french like to hunt 6 at a time, for the music. The Africans like 6 for leopard. So imagine 6 of those lead track dogs, assembled into a pack, each and every one can catch it's own lion.
Nose + Track Speed = cats up trees on bad ground. Or hogs, or bears or coons...

The thing is that, there are many different strains of the GGS, some straight boar, some straight hare and some in between.

I want them to have the game but if they cant smell the track to get it started then what. I guess speed is one attribute that I have never worried about. I wouldnt want them to stand on their head but that doesnt seem to be any problem anymore. Most hounds can over run their nose these days. I would like any cross on the GGS if I could get them on pigs It has sort of becoming my new favorite sport. I went looking for some bobcat tracks today but didnt see any. Moutain Lion are not a common thing anywhere close by me with out getting into New Mexico. That has not been extremely easy to get done.

Never ask a man what kind of dog he has. If he has a hound he'll tell you, if he does not, you don't want to shame him by asking.

Deer huh? The reason I did not find much on the GGS on deer is because it is illegal most places in europe. But there was a period when the last wolf was killed, where it was legal to run deer and the GGS would catch and kill, no bullets needed, after all they were wolfhounds out of a job...looking for one.

I am used to hunting in Iowa where it is illegal to run dogs on deer. But te deer are so thick that you dont need dogs. Walk thru the timber and tag out by noon 2nd day of the season. Dont take much to find or shoot them. Only aloud to use shotguns and slugs no rifles.

I was just Thinking !! But I think a Ariegeois Crossed on a Top Comp. Treeing Walker would Be Off the Wall !!!! Ofcourse it would take a few years of crosses back on itself .. But if a Breeder could Blend these two Hounds just right..
Well Just Thinking !!! lol

Well let me just add that I think Any of the French Hounds will Blend well with Our Current Stock of hound Breeds and they would be even Better !!

If you are looking for the best French nose, then the GGS and the Aregeois are common knowledge in europe as such. Even more than the Grand Bleu, which was imported into this country in the 70's and quite a few people, but not all considered a flop.

Isn't it something how Bill Green went right straight to the head of the class, and he only bred hounds for about 10 years?

Turned the hounds on their first pig today! Man what a blast but we forgot the camera. Will get pics and video tommorow. Our walker cat dog he is 5, our plott female she is 1 first time seeing game, and our 2 english females 9 months old first time seein game. The plott female and the walker are fighters for sure they both caught and held. The 2 english just bayed but did and excellent job. Pig was about 100 pounds. Not bad for the first time any of the 4 have ever seen hogs. We are goin to training pen again tommorow.
