Aaron, I read some more posts from that man who's website I gave you the link too. It appears he's very serious and has a lot of knowledge. One of those people who understand the heart of a dog. The airdale forum I initially gave you the link to is on his website, maybe belongs to him too. What a coincidence. I think this man is definitely a good starting point in the search for a good airdale.
Dan, I am going to do more follow up with this guy. I have another breeder in McNeal,Az. I am talking to , as well as the guy you referred me to. I talked to a breeder here in Oklahoma, things were going pretty well until I mentioned their intended purpose and then the whole conversation shut down. Seems they wanted no part of selling to an owner who wants to use the dogs as they were intended .

I feel giddy like a match maker. Let me know the prices for the dogs if you end up going that route.
You shot that arrow you little, Cupid......:)
Will let you know... est. around $500-750.

The base of that song is Cumbia, a musical style, you may enjoy it. This the first result I got on youtube.

Or is there some pleasant young pleasant memory from TX associated with this music
Nope....just a bunch of drunk guys singing along and one redneck who was drunk enough to know the words. The more I drink, the better my Spanish gets.:)

THAT'S IT !!!! WHO IS THAT ??? LOVE THAT SONG !!!
I think after this last trip, I'm Mexican and never knew it...

You're on the right track, but it was'nt that ghetto . Very solid Latin feel to it. Just listening to it made me wanna play soccer .:) Thanks for the link to the Aire's ,btw.

Recently,I was in Pecos,Texas for some duties. On our last night there , we all went to a little bar and had some beers. While there, the DJ played this track that was kick ass . I mean awesome. Good strong beat, loved it. I asked a latin buddy of mine who it was and he said somehting along the lines of "Supermercado", but the only thing I can find on that is a heavy metal band. Any hints ?

Welcome and enjoy... good folks around here .

Regardless, that dog was hauling ass .....

I 've had a hell of time posting here lately... always get some kind of weird error message.

Back in the day I had a Bluetick by the name of Cannonball. I could tell what was going on in his chase by listening to the way he was 'talkin'. Funny how we remember some things. That was 35yrs ago and I still remember his name and can hear him talkin in my mind.
Nothing like it is there ? :thumbsup2: Never forget those cold Ozark winter mornings and hearing those hounds bay up as they hit a hot trail. That sound would echo through those mountains. Gives me chills just thinking back to it.

It depends on the hunter,Dan. When I ran coyotes with hounds, part of the excitement for me was listening to the pursuit and discerning what was happening by the sound of the dogs. Those memorys will last with me long into the days when I can no longer hunt due to old age. That music.
However, some bear hunters ,for whatever reason , have silent dogs and track them by radio collars. And they prefer them that way. Dunno.
Most Airedales that are used for coyote hunting are used as 'tollers' ie. decoy dogs. They trot out , and back and forth ; keeping the coyote engaged and interested . They then act as a sort of retriever after the shot and recover the coyote in the event it makes a run after being shot. Coyotes ,like most predators, leave a very scant blood trail due to their blood-absorbing coats.
Tolling dogs are even used for waterfowl. The Nova Scotia Duck Toller for example. It's a very rare almost collie looking dog. Dog runs out and creates movement among the decoys and along the shoreline enticing the birds.

Has your friend told you how they express their protectiveness? I don't really know much about hunting so what's expected from a dog when hunting lions?
Sorry it took me so long to reply. I lost the site for awhile .:(
I dunno how they express it ,Dan. Never thought to ask and I doubt it's something they have really expanded on. I will ,though.
Lion dogs typically just scent trail the cat and then eventually they close the distance enough that the cat knows it's being pursued. At that point they will generally 'tree' . The dogs aren't nec. expected to engage the lion and rarely does that happen. Same with bears.
Interesting thing about 'Dales is they run silent until they 'tree'. Then they begin to talk. Bloodhounds are the same way. Silent mouths until they lay eyes on the quarry.

I think a turkey baster from publix will do just ass well
:laughing3::laughing3::laughing3:
Oh that was funny...

That's interesting and nice to know when someone is so devoted to a breed. I know it's a figure of speech but what qualities does he see in the dog that would lead to him saying that?
Primarily versatility and devotion to "their" people, Dan. Matt hunts everything from quail to mt. lions with his 'Dales and the are very protective of the family unit. He plans on bear hunting with them in New Mexico next October.
