The heritage of the Majestic Tree Hound traces back to the St. Hubert Hound named after Francios Hubert, the patron Saint of hunters. He bred and perfected the best scenting hounds in Southern France during the early 8th Century. When he died, Bishops and Monks continued breeding these hounds. They were kept in monasteries throughout Northern Italy, Southern France and Belgium. These hounds were used to track down wounded game, and sometimes to track down poachers who stole game.
A new strain was developed later in the 8th Century. This strain was known as Talbot Hounds. They were the result of crossing white St. Huberts with other hounds. Many people referred to the St. Huberts and Talbots as the "Blooded Hounds." Later, this was shortened to Bloodhounds.
In 1066 William the Conqueror brought St. Huberts and Talbots to England where they were used to trail deer. When deer became scarce, the English nobility began using their Bloodhounds to hunt fox. After fox hunting on horseback became popular, Bloodhound x Greyhound crosses were made to produce a harder running hound.
Both Bloodhounds and English Foxhounds were later brought to the American Colonies. Most American Fox and Coonhounds of today can be traced back to the early English Foxhounds (Bloodhound x Greyhound crosses). Over the years some exceptional strains of American Coon and Big Game Hounds have come and gone, appearing when more Bloodhound was crossed in, and disappearing when the extra Bloodhound influence was diminished through subsequent outcrossings.
The Majestic Tree Hound is a reconstitution of those exceptional strains. Over a long period of selecting, field testing for performance, breeding and culling, hounds were developed that possessed keen scenting ability, even temperament, beautiful voices, natural treeing ability, extra houndy appearance, and good functional conformation for speed and stamina.


Information for this was taken from Treehound.com

That was a rare picture of an adult Majestic. they normally only live to be ten or eleven weeks old, from the pictures I see.

You see a lot of pictures of a "nice ten week old majestic pup," but hardly ever the grown ones.

This is everything I could find. I'll do some more digging around.

Thanks TBeyer. I have wondered about these hounds myself. I think they are awesome looking. I would love to have one.

Far from silly hounds

For those who have ACTUALLY hunted with Majestics, they are big gritty hounds with cold noses and bawl mouths. They have the stamina and speed to take down what they are hunting. We do use ours for coon but they love a challenge so big game is right up their alley. We love ours and couldn't have a better hound to hunt with such a great personality, easy to handle and gets the job done.

Check us out on the web.

Technically a Majestic Hound is a cross breed hound with a name given to it. They cross coonhounds and bloodhounds.

You may see them listed as 50% Walker and 50% Bloodhound.

Or you may see them listed as 25% Bluetick, 50% Bloodhound, and 25% Walker and etc....

At the end of the day, when all is said and done, they are a crossbreed hound no different than if you crossed a Bluetick to a Plott.

You've only got 3 choices in life, give in, give up, or give it all you got.

Well I could see them opening registration to them as they do have a breed standard unlike those walker/blue/trigg and everything else mixes that are bred to catch and thats it. With a standard hound you can breed to catch and for some kind of regularity in looks.

And they do have a standard for them..

Boy am I going to get scalded for this...

But as I understand they are hit and miss about reaching it.. Maybe I am misunderstanding, but not all getting the height, weight, ear length, etc whatever it all is, consistantly..

If they start getting it all and can do it for a few more generations... then sure.. I don't think they are "many" who have been running this type of dogs for years.. They have been around forever, but its just this and that added in and that is what they are getting.. I know there are a few working hard on it..

So after some more time and exposure and not having to breed to Walkers, blueticks etc, having enough base to breed within Majestics.. then sure.. I just don't think they are there yet..

but they are on track to getting recognition. I think it would nice to get them more exposure as I love competition for my plott dogs.
