alot of them do but not all you have to watch them hunt or take the gamble

 

I got one male that is weir creek / patch...cant really tell ya ...not sure what traits come from which side...
Hes a huntin joker though

 

all 5 of mine hunt hard and run the hair off a rabbit !

 

I’ve got one heavy weir creek she’s a hard hunting gritty dog, not the smoothest I have a a track some days but has that no quit stubbornness

 

Could be your lucky day. Get with Rinie he just posted he’s got a litter from his iron man dog that’s weir creek. I saw his last bunch of pups run there gritty and have plenty of foot. I bet if you get a little bourbon in him you could come up with the hole litter and his o pick up. Lol

 

lol reiny don't drink,he gave it to me lol

 

I have a boat load of them and that is why I have nothing but! They will find and jump a rabbit and run him as long as the rabbit is willing to make a track. They have no quit grit! you have to make them stop!

 

Better listen to what this man says. He knows Wire Creek and has some beautiful hounds.

Was going through an old folder with some pedigrees attached. I had two pups from this cross. Lemon male & female. Crossed them once. This goes back to mid 70’s. Was just a young teenager then. We killed a lot of cottontails and snow shoe hares with them. These hounds had the original Weir Creek that is often touted here. Doubled up. Buzz & Ruff , the main producers in this line , were both born in the early and mid 60’s. Thats an awful long time ago to have much influence on todays Weir Creek pedigrees. Murphy White was an outstanding hound. Prob the best DFJ that ever pursued a rabbit.

 

Rev. Parks did a series of articles on the Weir Creek kennel for The Rabbit Hunter magazine in the early 90s. Jack Stutz from New York state was the Weir Creek breeder. FC. Weir Creek Buzz was the last of his line, and Buzz died sometime around the 1970s. W.P. Land brought Buzz to the south where the Skullfork, Horn Lake, Blackcreek, and other breeders used him, creating hounds such as Swamp Run Buzz and his son, South Fork Jo Jo. Jo Jo was from a double cross of Buzz. Terry Ward used quite a bit of Buzz in developing his Boggy Holler bloodlines. Skullfork, Blackcreek and Boggy Holler all had more extensive breeding programs than Mr Stutz, but people seem to remember the Weir Creek name.

According to Rev Parks in the Sept 1992 The Rabbit Hunter: W.P. Land said “the outstanding qualities he found in Weir Creek Buzz was that of a great searcher and starter and could move his game well and hold his line well. He was gunned over regularly until he was 10 years old. There was no quitting in him”. Buzz lived to be 14.

 

Hunt is kinda like beauty, it is in the eye of the beholder. Most seem to have grit and hunt and some are culls.

 

JDW nice pedigree.

I remember hunting with lots of dogs bred like that bottom side.

We never had problems with getting them in the briars. The only problem we had was getting them out of the briars when it was time to leave. Man when they heard us catching dogs they would go bury themselves up under the bad-est stuff they could find and hurry up and jump another rabbit.

We didn't have shock collars back then and I remember seeing deer pouring out of some areas where the dogs were running but never remember one time the dogs running one or anything but rabbits.

We never had problems with our rabbit dogs running off game.
We didn't have collars and never thought about them running deer. The dogs were rabbit dogs and didn't run deer.

When our pups got 4 months old we took them out of the brooders and we turned them out loose to live in the yard and they got well socialized and friendly to people. Those pups would start themselves on the rabbits around the house and would go run and come home anytime they wanted until they got old enough to take hunting. Then we penned them up. The ones we had left by 7-8 months old were rabbit dogs period. They wouldn't run anything but a rabbit.

Any pup or dog that ran off game wasn't broke it was put down quick or ran off with the off game and never came back and we never went looking.

By the time the pups were 7-8 months old you knew which ones were rabbit dogs cause that's all you had left and some times it was most of them sometimes not but whatever you had was a rabbit dog. We only kept dog that ran rabbits and they were good rabbit dogs you could trust.

man those were rabbit dogs. mitch i still like starting my pups like you described. when i was a young gun. when we went rabbit hunting our best dogs had to be caught on the line. and whoever we was hunting with . their best dogs was the same. you knew what dogs was at the top of the chain gang. shoot even after shock collars came out . my dad was spending that kind of money on a shock collar. they looked at it as the shock collar was worth more then the dog. lol. they was grade dogs and been raised. and the few around that was fortunate to have a shock collar. it was used strictly for come on its time to go home. anything other than having to catch a dog off the line when it was time to go home was considered a dunghill. and disapeared 1 way or the other.
