Man and best friend working
together to round 'em up
. by Tracey Doerr
George Holm doesn't wait
for the cows to come
home. .
Be .rounds 'em up, ropes 'em
and takes them home to the
farm.
It's a craft he's become very
talented at and the skill he pos-
sesses is what prompts people
from across Ontario to call on
him whenever cattle decide to
wander. ..
But to give credit where
credit is due, Holm admits the
job would be much more diffi
cult without the help,of his
dogs.
The yellow black mouth
currs have a natural instinct,
when it comes to tracking: loose
cattle and boars. They are not a
registered breed, but one that
was created specifically for that
purpose.
They originated in Texas, but
HoInci, a Brant Township farmer,
is t e only one to his knowledge
tha breeds the dogs in Ontario.
While they are a calm,
domestic pet around people,
vvhen they work, there's no
room for dog play.
"When I saddle up my horse
and put them in the trailer,they
know there's action. They're
just good family dogs until you
do .that," said Holm.
Holm has five dogs and some
are better trackers than others.
Jack, the King Pin, as Holm's
wife Donna calls him, was the -
first pup and is the most effi-
cient for catching cattle.
After Holm finds where the
cows were last seen, he takes
the dogs there to track the scent.
They follow the scent with great
intensity while .Hohn and other
riders follow behind.
"Then you, wait for the bark.
They never bark until they
strike cattle. Thenthey corner it
and hold it until we.get there. If
the beast wants to run, they run.
it back to you," said Holm;
And then the cowboys rope
`em and return them to their
owners.
