COUESAZ Report post Posted April 24, 2009 OK I made an edit. I just reread and saw you were talking about the black dog not the red one. And my explination of redticks and redbones was so good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GRONG Report post Posted April 25, 2009 Is that dog inthe last pic a shorthair? Yup that's ol Hap himself. The Michael Jordan of all hound dogs, no kidding! Dad told me right after they caught it that the lion snagged ol Hap and they got to brawlin!!! Hap managed to escape w/o getting to tore up and wanted even more to kill the lion with his own jaws. After Dad let him go (no hunter) Dad swore that Hap was mad at him for not killing the lion himself. LOL!!! To bad they can't clone that dog...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
az4life Report post Posted April 25, 2009 I guess for those hounds finding a lion is like Josh finding some big brown & heavy bone! sure love those lion posts! It sounds like the cats run cause the dogs can do them some damage when the catch them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This Hap dog reminds me of a dog I've got in the kennel...Old Duke will fight anything! He doesn't look for trouble, but he can sure finish it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dogman68 Report post Posted May 2, 2009 I can take no credit for the dog. A guy named Dave Carlson came up with the cross. The dog was "given" to me in a sense. The owner unfortunately died suddenly. I understand that he is 1/4 gsp and 3/4 bluetick. He has a decent nose, good tree and knows how to move a track. I have only one dog that can move like he does he is an amazing animal. Tough. I watched him run a night old track in the powder dust this week and he was 4' off to the side of the track as he ran it. I can't believe how blessed I am just to be able to hunt the dog.
