Yeah he was a great man i only wish i could have met him. i have heard about him but he did run different style of dogs then i had. But all in all deep down we are all the same. My dogs don't tear them selves up that bad well every now and then they might but it is not uncommon during this month for me to hunt all week rest them on friday and field trail on saturday and sunday. I myself have finished many dogs as field champions and i am a certified AKC judge for those trails. But i have yet to have one beagle that i can say is a pet. they all just love to run rabbits so bad that there is nothing else they want to do its a one track mind. Eat sleep and hunt that is it!
This is the reason why i wanted to become a lacy parent because of the fact that i can work my dog and bring him home to just lay around the house just the same! I've never had a pup or dog that i could have that kind of connection with and i'm hoping this happens with my lacy pup.

One thing I have known and noticed for years is that the number of dogs someone owns tends to affect how they are treated. When I had big packs of hounds, they all stayed in the kennel.
Hog hunters also chain dogs out, a practice I do not like. But, these dogs are strictly working dogs to their owners, and most of them are fed well, and in good physical shape from the exercise they get when they are run, which can be frequent.
The dog as a hunting companion has been around since early times. Dogs are tougher than folks seem to be willing to admit, and this causes issues when individuals decide that someone else is not treating animals right.
I tend to believe that some dogs are just a lot luckier than others when they live with someone who takes better care of them. And, I don't subscribe to the theory that a dog which lives in your house cannot have the drive of a dog that is kept outside... That might apply to some dogs, but it certainly doesn't to Lacys...

Dogs are way tougher than people give them credit for . This weekend a buddies yellow dog took on a 300 lb boar by himself and got cut bad 2 deep cuts one to the chest and one under his cut collar. He was gushing bad. We were in not close to anything but I had my cut kit with me. It had hit 2 veins on both punchers . I had to think quick he was freaking out and the dog was bleeding out quick . I had no choice but to cut him open with a razor knife to get to the gushers . I got him opened up and was able to clamp off both bleeders with he-mo stats and we got him to the vet . He said I did good work he finished it up and they went home . I talked to him today and the dog is up and running around today barking and running around . They are tough!!

Wow! nice job I'm sure you saved the dogs life.
That's tough on the owner watching the dog bleed.
Sad but part of being a hunting dog.

Damn Camo! Were you a medic in the Army? If we ever go hunting, I am gonna have to hold the knives, and remember not to complain. You might decide I need an appendectomy, or something...
That was bad ass!

Clifford no medical experience but I new that I had to stop the bleeding and the only way was to go in and find it . I new the dog was more than likely going to die if we did nothing . I can tell you I never saw so much blood pour out of a dog . I was a little scared cutting on someones else's dog it would be a little differnt if it was my dog. My kit is self built staplers blood stop pain killers anti- biotics , gauze, band aids , water and emergency c for dehydration, scissors , razor blades and super glue .

John, would you be willing to start another thread and list everything, in detail, that you carry when you take you dogs into the woods?
I think that would be very helpful to many other Lacy owners, and also open a few eyes.
People tend to be reactive to dog injuries, and this incident should be a big red flag to folks. There are instances when you do not have time to get into a vet, and the dog needs immediate care.
