I like the large Busher type mt curs...I used to keep a line of Manning Texas Smoke dogs that I crossed with Kemmers Gold Nugget blood and maintained that bloodline for 20 years...also mixed a little old type OMCBA blood in the early years...
The Gold Nugget dogs had a tremendous winding nose and hunted well...they had plenty of hunt and grit...
The Texas Smoke dogs had a good nose but didn't wind like the Kemmer dogs...Texas Smoke dogs hunted faster and deeper and had almost bulldog grit in some of them...
Both lines had hunt and grit and most males I kept probably weighed 65 pounds and females around 50-55...
They came from tree dog stock but were used on hogs...
Texas Smoke was a world Champion coon and squirrel dog...
I owned and bred from one of his daughters...Her Dam was a daughter to Texas Smoke as well...Worked out perfect for my breeding program back then...
I didn't have much luck finding what I wanted in todays dogs...so I mixed kemmer with lots of Gold Nugget breeding with Plott hound...they look like old time mt curs and I like them...
