My wife, Dawn, had the day off today and went calling with me to train dogs. We took a pair of Dorn bred dogs that I am training for a client, along with Gunner. It was one of those mornings that the coyotes were just turned on. We got into 5 coyotes. 4 on one stand and a single on the next. I missed 2, but Dawn shot one. She hit it a little too far back and the dogs got a chance to run down a cripple, bay it, and dispatch it. Excellent training. Not bad for being gone for 1.5 hours.

You never disappoint, Tony. Thanks as always.

Your training guests look to have some Airedale in them, but not full. Can you shed some light on their breeding?
Thanks.

It started out as a trip to check traps and pull them. Our daughter is having a baby tonight/tomorrow and I won't be able to check traps this weekend, let alone my coyote pen is currently full. Anyways, while driving out to check the traps, we spotted quite a few coyotes and decided to make some impromptu stands, as the coyotes were definitely out and about.

There is no doubt about my wife, when she gets behind the gun. She's well known for her one-shot, one-kills. I've only ever seen her miss 1 coyote and a handfull of prairie dogs in the past 18 years of being married to me. I watched her go all night, being the gunner, while night calling in TX, without missing a single animal and every animal took 1 shot. Something like 7 fox, 12 coons, and 1 bobcat, if I remember right. Believe me, she rubbed it in all freakin' day to me.

As far as the breeding, Vernon Dorn started developing a line of coyote dogs, 60 years ago, I believe. The breed line has been carried on by Craig O'Gorman. The name O'Gorman Dorn Denning dogs is what they are known as. Used for denning, trapline work, decoying, etc... You can easily see Airedale mixed into them, but there are a bunch of other types of dogs that went into the breeding, as far as I know. There should be some good info on the internet if you do some google searches.

I'm going to ask the owner, if I can clip them down, as their coats are going to be a major hindrance in their training this summer, as the heat rises dramatically.

Thanks...Tony
