I already posted this one but I found a different clip here so figured I’d throw it up again. I gotta say something here that I think I should have said the first time I posted this. Now I have heard some laika guys and others say “a hound lacks the ability to jump strait back from its front feet”if you notice here these dogs indeed can do that and they are quick as a horse fly! They do get caught once in a while no doubt. Mostly when they are tired or in a cave hole or bad blow down timber. These dogs work a bear like this no matter the situation very tight and aggressive. Honestly they can be a little too pushy when they have a bear stopped but it usually results in the bear going up a tree except when it’s a smaller bear,if he don’t get up a tree before they catch him on the ground he will never make it up a tree. I spent a lot of years, a lot of time and went through a lot of pups looking for the right dogs to start making crosses with. I know some guys are going to ask so I’ll answer some questions now. These are just some crossed up walker dogs with a shot of running walker in them. No I have never bought a finished dog. I start every pup from scratch and have been a harsh critic from the beginning. That being said, I have learned a lot from some good dog men over the years and I’ll learn until I’m dead! I talked some more about how we handle rank bears in the comments on that video of the young dogs holding a bear in a hole. If anybody wants to check that out jump over to the mammoth page and find that video. Thanks and have a goodie!
