Jump dog females, who has them?

[mud]

Hey guys I respect everybodys thoughts.No problem.Open forum here. I have changed my thoughts on the matter after thinking about and reading others post. I am now convinced I don't have a good dog nor have I ever owned a good dog. I need to cull all my dogs and start over.My friends and hunting buddies will be thrilled about that prospect.However the good thing is I will save on dog food... I just gun hunt and pack run however I work with a guy who trials Jeff Brown he might be willling to get me on the right track if I am not to far gone already... If he happens not to available I am open to anyone in south central ky that could mentor me.Any takers just pm me and I will keep your name confidential...

Jump? What do we really mean on a dog jumping a rabbit.Some times you can go hunting and there not that hard to jump.easy rabbits to jump.Or go were there s lots of rabbits and you just don t need a real jump dog.Had an older man one time to come and and run his 6 dogs in pen 7 one time and there want that many rabbits in the pen and what was in there you had to step on then for them to move.I said! You need a good jump dog in there to get him up.He said all 6 of these dogs are jump dogs.As he left to go to the pen.Poor guy he s never had one.Hunting all his life and never had one.Now I know alot of you guys have said that if you had a good jump dog and that dog would not run a rabbit well you would cull it Not me.Now what do we say jump.I hunting over a mix up bird dog in the early 70.When the beagles were running a rabbit this dog would have one pointed fot the next run.Outstanding Jump dog.Now the other jump dog I had she just know were to find then.I did notice her later in her life she did not like to hunt were there were lots of rabbits.She wanted them hard to find rabbits.I remember one time we had nine dogs and kill 18 rabbits and she bed jump them all.She did make my other dogs lazy about hunting but they done the running and were good at it.They were a good team.I ve look an breed pups all these last twenty years.and have good dogs that hunting hard but just didnot find that jump dog.Last pack of dogs were the best all around dogs I ve ever had.But still no jump dog in there.I am very lucky to have one and hunting over another one.Both of these dogs didnot bust the bushes up.They wind the rabbit and made it look easy to find a rabbit.Don t have any dogs now.I know alot of you are saying you had sorry dogs all your life.No,If I can find a dog better than my rabbit boxes I will buy it.
