HOG HUNTING WITH DOGS
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 гру 2023
- The tradition of hunting pigs with dogs can be traced back to early America when settlers and farmers commonly free-ranged their livestock. In order to distinguish ownership of their livestock, individuals or families would apply a unique mark - usually a series of splits or notches - to the ear or ears of individual animals. Free-ranging pigs usually were rounded up and “marked” twice per year, and the use of dogs to locate, bay, and catch these pigs made the task much easier.

Also, I appreciate how he gave respect to the tracking/baying dogs. While catch dogs are usually the stars of the show and are important in detaining the hog, the tracking/bay dogs do actually complete the majority of the work. It is more time consuming and tiring to be them. They have to pick up a scent, follow the scent, chase down a hog, bay the hog, and then alert both the hunters and catch dogs. While the catch dogs do what most dogs would not do, the hog has already been found, which means the catch dog can go right to the location and take care of business without having to spend so much time wondering around through the brush and in the heat. Also, keep in mind that most tracking dogs are not given vests since they are not the ones that go in and face the hog, so if they are attacked out there, they have a higher chance of getting seriously hurt.
Hog hunting to catch and hold hogs is mighty fine work for dogs such as bull terriers and especially bulldogs (pit bulls). Rather than folks putting their dogs against each other to test their grit, they can have their dogs face rough critters to put food on the table and also help with population control. It's legal, useful work that's also challenging. And actually, catch work is something pit bulls have historically been used for. Most probably know them for being warring dogs against each other, but their service as a gripping dog is also well documented. Like Diane Jessup writes:
“First a hunter, then a butcher's dog, then a baiter, then a dog fighter, pit bulls which display behavior typical of their heritage are gripping dogs; they come from a long, long genetic history which dictates they get a hold and HANG ON! This behavior saved their life during the years they were hunting boar, stag and bear, and also stood them in good stead when they moved on to working bulls, bears and other animals in baiting sports. This same behavior can work to make breaking up a fight quite easy and safe."
Agreed. This is ethical work for bull dogs. What they were originally for. Breeding for less dog aggression would save many lives in these breeds.
@@michelleturner6865 I agree with that, buddy. Even folks like Diane Jessup admit that dog aggression can be a real hassle at time. There really isn't much utility for it outside of the ring. If folks are able to have their dog go to war with another critter to test their grit, it would still allow bulldogs to remain standard without breeding them to be so gung-ho to go to war with other dogs.
@@Swell_Characterdefinitely, I would have a bull and terrier type of some sort again straight away if there was a lot higher chance of no dog aggression , I love there more compact tough physique compared to Mastiffs which I lean more towards now, Mastiffs don’t need much exercise and I’ve never had a dog aggressive one , plenty of socialising though
Its refreshing to see/hear someone who takes care of/feeds, breeds for specific traits/capabilities, trains & exercises, knows their different barks/signs so well is awesome and is how it should always be. Having a well rounded team of dogs set up how his are is also impressive & refreshing to see/hear. First time seeing someone use bull terriers as catch dogs with pitbulls which is cool & shows what a well bred, trained, fed etc dog is capable of!
Great stuff Zeke! I appreciate what you're doing. Merry Christmas to you and yours!
These bull terriers are absolutely beautiful. Really quality stock.
I been talking to manny on instagram for a couple years now, real stand up dog man. Cares for all his animals and appreciates the hard work his dogs do for him
Finally! I'm glad you added this to your channel, bro. It's great that you introduced many breeds, but most of them never worked before. 👍👍
Manny that was a great documentary on that whole subject and you’re so smart and experienced about Dogs I really appreciate what you showed and said at the end is find a mentor 👍
I'm not going to lie at this point you guys need to get hired by Nat Geo wild or animal planet because they make good dog learning vids . It's basically like dog101 but more detail
I never comment on things but this was a great video for real. Very informative and genuine. Keep hunting!!
Where can we find the person being interviewed?
Howdy, I’ve been watching on and off over the last few years, but havnt seen your videos In 6 or so months. This is a great video, you should continue to highlight these types of game dogs, would require a lot of travel.
But this is super real. Real dogs and real people.
Been a minute for me zeke, glad to see the great videos continue. Happy holidays and know you will have a successful 2024.
Happy holidays!
Great video I’d love to see it go to another level featuring the catahoula and Lacy dog breeds. Especially since a nickname for Lacy’s is hog dogs
"The tradition of hunting pigs with dogs can be traced back to early America when settlers and farmers commonly free-ranged their livestock."
Ahhh, a little further back than that.
Great video and very informative for the novice person who doesn’t know or understand..🤙🏾Aloha
Great to see Bull terriers being used, Bullies were the backbone of my pack when I hunted for a living here in Australia & are real hard arse holding dogs but also cross really well to create all round pig dogs, The best crosses I've used are Bully x Staghound & Bully x Dane in straight cross every pup turned out really good from those crosses.
That dog with the leg missing is a warrior. Still going hard.
Very genuine honest man he comes across as it’s a pity we can’t see catch dogs working
Thanks for another great video 👌🏿
Nice set up. Looks like 3 legged dog still active!! Those hogs must be relatively small tho bc those dogs are also relatively small.
this is a super interesting video! i've been curious about hog hunting specifically, and love the information in this! i also haven't seen a bull terrier used in hunting before, but it looks like they do an amazing job.
Excellent video, great info
Manny is a great dude and always down to share knowledgeable information. I’ve been chopping it up with him for years now.
Couldn't agree more!
This is great. I appreciate the education
Those are some of the best looking bull terriers I’ve seen.
Only person I've seen use in the old proven bull terrier..... awesome
Great video, impressive handling skills and tips
Congratulations very good video the gentleman has real bulldogs .
Awesome video!
Ive been waiting for this kind of video
Hey Zeke, great vid, love the interviews. I was just wondering how you felt watching the hog hunting in person? I’ve seen it on UA-cam, but Im assuming it would be harder to watch in person.
Appreciate the education
I knew this was going to be good when I saw the lean English Bull Terrier.
Amazing dogs❤
Dude is an amazing guy to talk to love his dogs I respect his ways hopefully one day i get a pup from him. Great video! Also amy chance you can do a video on black and tan coonhounds? Either info on them or hunting video like this too would love to see one
Awesome video! I Love the education. Keep up the great work! God Bless! 🙏
love that bull terrier
hear hear
Truly. That's the healthiest bull terrier I've ever seen
She’s game as fuck as well
I would love to see his dogs working! What’s his channel name?
Thanks
Curious where this guy is from? Cali? Hawaii? Florida?
They are from Cali
@@huhSHUA Thanks. Was leaning that way with the arid terrain.
Was one of your dogs a English bull terrier.
Yes. Great dogs
@@juanmontoya5331 yes nice dogs my cousin has one and i have a Staffordshire bull they love play fighting.
Nice video man
Appreciate it
Does anyone have a link to videos of him catching hogs? Does he have a youtube channel?
Where is he from im a hog hunter my self and i also have a couple of catahoulas you should come do a video of my dogs hog hunting on a farm cause they sure do love crops down here in Texas
California
Is that a Mountain Cur??
Which one is best catch dog apbt or bull terrier?
Pitbull
That all depends on the dog itself. Not really the breed. In this situation. Pits do have more wind but bull terriers seem to be more brute in my experience. Great to have both together. Best of both worlds but really depends on individual dog itself. That’s why ppl tend to cross both breeds aka battle cross
@huhSHUA you're spot on! And they're a brutal when mixed
@@juanmontoya5331 I wish I don’t spay mine. I had lots of offers to breed her
Good video
According to you which is the strongest Dog Breed in the world,Brute strength? Please let me know
True working dogs

To me i love to see other breeds go hog hunting and see there Attributes and abilities like some that dont even go hunting at all and are not really in that hog hunting choice of breeds
Bull tarriers are awesome

You know?
You guys are crazy for not at least carrying a pistol. Ive seen a couple times where the pigs go straight for the humans especially in groups.
Pig hunter from Australia. I swear by my bull Arabs and my Mastiff bull arab great Dane mixed.. we get buffalo and scrub bulls too
Treadmill for dogs, none of that in South Africa.
😅
2:50 somthing tells me he wasn't lying about that statement 😏
I've hunted hogs with my presa's and american bulldogs....
Which is best?
@@Arkansas1989I would assume the bulldog is better. But I can imagine the presa will really hold that dog down
Get yourself a Dogo Argentino for a catch dog, game changer.
No need, most suck now a days
@@JohnW3030 how so?
@@Hustlersylent u must not be a hog hunter
@JohnW3030 "Calicatchers" from California breeds some good Dogo Argentinos. He probably has more experience catching hogs with Dogos than most Americans.
@@MrAzteca36 Lol u keep telling yourself that, you must be one of Bernard’s IG fans. How did I know because u couldn’t call him by his first name u called him by his IG name and fyi he hasn’t bred doggos in years nor does his old ass hunt anymore 🤣🤣
Yap Yap Yap
PEPPER! BOOMER!
Appreciate it the vulnerability
He should take his advice to get himself in shape too. Eating too much hogs 😢
😂 hahahaha
Wanna see how to catch real big pigs look up Australia
Great Content
Documenting this like they are doing a great thing is ridiculous. If you love your dog, are you honestly going to put it against a wild hog? Your 50 pound dogs, Some of those hogs get up to 400 pounds. Watching these hogs get mauled is horrible. I understand they are an invasive species, but nothing deserves to be killed in that manner. Remember, God put those animals on this planet its our fault they are here on our land now, not the hogs.
Just keep scrolling guy. Nobody gives a s**t what you think. As long as there are hogs running around, there will be hog hunters with hog dogs. Best believe it!
Snowflake punk
Your dogs are 100% underfed! You should not see the base spine by the tail, or ribs to the degree we are here… was that honestly back bone spines? Feed the dogs some hog please…. 😢
There hunting dogs lmfao.....
Disgusting. 👎 Kinda doing the state a favor? Get paid then genius. There's no kinda doing anything.
You must be either a "Karen", or a bleeding heart liberal. Probably both.
Another Great Video! Zeke get at me I want to collaborate with you
