I start hunting my pups at 9 months old with a good broke dog.When they start trailing and treeing with broke dog I start hunting them by themselves.I don't show them a coon in a cage,no turn loose coons.Usually by 11-12 months old my pups are going by themselves.The only coons my dogs see falls out of a tree.

i believe this will depend on the breed and the bloodline,

I dont show mine one until they start looking less like a puppy and more like a dog, physically. And then it depends on the pups mentality, so in order to put a quantitative date on it is not really possible. Each breed and then each pup within that breed are different.

okay, this is not based on my pups, this is based on your personal opinion on age, VOTE IT UP! i know what i am going to do with my pups, what do you do with yours?

it is good to get ideas from everyone. that is how i am learning also.

All dogs are differant. That is the most often made mistake though is people thinking what is good for or works for one is good for the other. I don't care if there litter mates they may not train and probubly won't train the same or at the same age. Look at siblings some are alike and some are as differant as night and day.

It all depends on when you think they are ready to see one, i've shown them caged coons as early as 3 months and they go nuts over it and some don't want to even look at it til' they are a year old. I show mine one when i think they can handle it.... but everyone is different

Best Age!

Age differs for all dogs, show them one when you think they can handle it.

mauling the CAGED COON. but not ready for the woods . not on a ukc hunt. but we have logged alot of hours there already. in the woods that is. he is fearless. but not ready. you have to know you dog. PERIOD.

I like to hide the ol bandit in the yard then turn the pup out and let him find it on his own to see what happens. I'll try them at 3-4 months old and if they dont do anything wait 6-8 weeks and try it again. The two I have now found the coon at 3-4 months old and barked when the ol bandit hissed and spit at them.

is it even necessary to show them a coon before hunting them?

Your so right. No 2 dogs start the same. They all start at there on
pace. Just depends when the light comes on.
