Not talkin bout hot nosed pop up dog's that gotta go most of the way thru a section before they think about huntin. A true "LAY UP" dog more than not does not finish the prehistoric track they started on unless the coon are that scarce.

There is a difference...........

TT that would be in my mind a perfect dog. The best of both worlds but there very rare around here. I haven't seen one in a lot of years. I hope the blue pup Iam training will be like that some day. Let you know in a couple years. LOL

Say a dog is running a track and comes to another track that cross's the one he is running. Shoud he stay on the track he started or take the hotter track?

Only if he wants to win. Tom

Guys yall really dont know what all those dogs do. I gaurantee that a dog beats around on a bad track and stumbles across a hot coon and you think that you have the best dog ever. I am not critisizing anyone I'm just saying that we dont know what all them dogs are doing out there. As long as they are running and treeing coon on a regular basis I dont care how they do it

I agree with you BUT to improve handleing techniques and breeding you must atleast try to understand what is going on and why.

True but what if your dog quits a track for another, runs back by the cast, finds a better, and runs back by again. What do you think the judge would say.

I think he would say " there sure is a lot of coons here".

I think dogs switch tracks way more than most people realize, We had a cage coon get loose one time that was wearing a collar turned a good dog loose on it, it was only about 10 minutes old. Dog got open fast and ran a good fast track about a quarter and fell treed, Guess what different coon. Probably happens way more often than we know.

So did you ever find the right coon?
