have two questions ?

i have a young male black and tan just turn two, he stands on his head on some tracks, he will work a area to death. he can tree coons by him self and is avery good tree dog. i have hunted him with my female, she dosenot stand on her head if they hint a bad spot she will shut up and get the track on out of there and he is still hung up. will this dog get better with age or is just going to be the way he is.
has anyone ever seen purple patches on a coonhonds tounge.
and could this mean the dog is not full blooded.

thanks for your help

question

no he is young. keep puting him the woods he will get better. the more u hunt him he'll go. and then look out lol

Tony, its a crap shoot on wether the young dog gets better with his tracking or not. He should improve in time, thats one of those practice makes better. Bout the tongue thing I doubt it means the hound isnt full stock. Actually not one of the black and tan bloodlines are completely full stock but your dog having a blue spot on its tongue doesnt mean its not fully bred. Good Luck with him

By the time a dog is two years old he sho uld have shown you what kind of a track dog he is; he may get to pulling up to your female in time ,which would help, but I'm afraid he is what he is. Tom

thanks guys for your help, i like a dog to move a track, this dog makes you want to pull your hair out. you work to get one going in hopes he is the one and two years is gone. i guess thats just part of training coondog. i think its time to move on.

thanks agin everyone

I cant believe noone has said to put a stick on his rear end and make him get it on out. I have done this with a few that wanted to wallow too much, and it helped them. They probably will always do it to a certain degree, but why sit there and watch him beat it to death.

Log piles can hang up a young dog. I've set in the bow stand and watched coon crawl all over one and up and down trees around the pile. Makes a dog tear their hair out.

I would try taking the dog out early just at dark and hopefully get some easy tracks leaving the den tree.

THE DOG

is over 2 years old they all not make it just face the fact
