I am training a bluetick hound female to sq hunt.She is now 18 mth old.The good is:she started very young.Uses her eyes .will timber a sq all over the place.Treed sq with her last year as a pup.No curr has a mouth as loud as hers.She never stops hunting and handles great.Can find a sq.The bad:is not so much bad as it is just different than a curr or feist.She has alot of nose and opens on tracks.You cant tree her when she first opens like you can most currs.Needs to settle on the right tree quicker.Nails the tree on a hot sq.I also coon hunt her.she will probably be a better coondog than a sq dog.She needs coonhunting by herself.Ive coonhunted her with my good male.

I had a redbone years ago that was hard to beat this time of year when a dog had to use his nose more then his eyes I didn’t mind him barkin on track when he opened I would start headed his way and would always be treed before I got to him would love to have another like him that bein said Iv tried several other hounds with out ever having anything anywhere close to him

I've read 100 posts on here about dogs treeing squirrels after dark, why shouldn't they tree them before dark?

35 to 40 years ago my Dad & I would Squirrel Hunt our Black & Tans and our Walkers during the day on Squirrel & on Coon at night. Never had an issue ue with them treeing Squirrels at night.

Iv had several slick treers so I would take them at day to see if they were treeing squirrels guess what just as slick in the day as they was at night

I agree what I was saying was I think a lot of tree happy dogs get the rep for treeing squirrels

To answer the original question. I hunt a 16 mo old out of sunday best(tank) x a power pack bitch on squirrel. If he opens he is treed. I've had curs for 25yrs, this walker is the best I've had and one of the better I've seen out of any breed of Sq dog. Not a blow thru there dog either. You won't have near as many quirky dogs when using hounds as you will the others either.

Awesome thanks for sharing

Just seen a BlackTan squirrel dog ( hound) that sold on the Prohound site for 3k that was a sure enough squirrel dog. Dave

What I mean by quirky is the backwards acting,spooky acting ones. I'm not even considering them a one man dog, cause they don't even fully trust their owner, no matter how well they've been taken care of.
