garmin dog speed?

garmin has been around for awhile now so i am wondering if anyone has done there breeding standards off of the dogs speed on the garmin? weather the dogs bred was actually good or not is really kinda mute to what im curious about. i am more interested in just what speed came about? did it breed true? i guess it doesn't even matter to me if it's a coonhound, beagle, fox hound or whatever i just want to hear about anyone who has paid attention to it and there thoughts.

Mine goes 2-3 and trees more coons than any dog I ever hunted, Could be she's looking for coons and not the horizon.

Mine avg anywhere from 7-10 mph. Which is okay not great. But I know of a young English dog that averages anywhere from 12-14 hunting and 17-20 when struck. He's not perfect but covers ground like no other dog I've seen.

How in the world can a dog run 18 mph through a woods in the pitch dark without running into trees, bushes and putting out an eye? I can't drive my vehicle down a road after dark with my headlights off. And if they average 15-18 mph, that means that part of the time they are going 20-25 mph. Can you image going 25 mph through a woods in the dark?

I had a hard time believing he could too, until I had my collar on him too. And both collars read the same speed. He caught a deer at the pkc world hunt FYI. He's for sale, not real cheap but cheap for what he is. I wish I had the room for him.

Funny you said that my dog used to average 10+ no matter what she was doing when you cut her loose, sounded like a bull dozed running through the woods heard her yelp more than once lol heaven forbid there was a drop off to a creek you would hear what sounded like a fat kid doing a cannonball, my hunting buddy swore she was blind lol. She was quick but not real accurate now she's got some age she's slowed down and picked up in accuracy. I thought it was normal til my buddy got a blue dog it's the equivalent of watching paint dry.

Posted by pamjohnson on 04-20-2018 12:40 AM:

i think most dogs average between 4 and 6 mph of coarse that also depends on terrain. yes some are slower and some faster. i'm not sold that speed on the garmin is directly related to how many coons you will get treed but most folks like a dog to hustle sure enough.

x-2 i have watched my young dog. he moves threw the woods in a gait much like a tenn. walking horse .a fox has to catch game to eat .they dont run full speed burning the wood up. they sneak.lol

Posted by MIKE CARDER on 04-20-2018 02:56 PM:

Speed

Everyone's dogs must be catching all the coon. Considering the speed of a raccoon.

Raccoon · Speed
3.11 mph (5 km/h) on average (In the water) · 9.94 mph (16 km/h) – 14.91 mph (24 km/h)

The average of my hounds might be a little better than 4 considering I don't look at it till the end, after all the trees and leading out of the woods. But I don't believe 17mph is attainable by my hounds.

Just the other day I had a guy tell me his hounds average track speed was 14.6mph. In the next sentence he asked when we could go try my hound out, I told him he didn't want to. Only reason I said no is because we could tree a coon with his hounds, go to them shine the tree find it and turn loose again and my hound would be just getting there. Too Slow.

All this track speed. Tells me if you hunt 4 hours in one night your hound will go approximately 60 miles in one evening. Gotta call Bullcrap on that one.

Yes I have, told him if he wanted to see how fast he was to come on and hunt and check his mph himself. I go to hunt, not piss around looking at a garmin.

Posted by Donnie Stevens on 04-20-2018 07:08 PM:

I think if a dog run 15 mph thru the woods up here it's gonna look like a toothless bulldog by the end of the week. Those dogs must be huntin different terrain then I am.

Hmmmm, if a dog runs and hunts at an average of 15 mph, he will have covered 30 miles in a 2 hr hunt. Now that would be one tired puppy. If you hooked a hound up to a 4 wheeler and drove 15 mph down a level road, how long do you think that he could keep up?

Posted by yadkinriver on 04-20-2018 09:22 PM:

Richard thats the reason coons climb trees. To keep from getting et by a walker dog.

Posted by shadinc on 04-20-2018 09:30 PM:

I've been hearing about these bird dog crosses for years. It must be gray hound crosses now.

Posted by micooner on 04-20-2018 10:41 PM:

I'd like to see that 17 mph average english dogs garmin track screen. I'll bet someone didnt hit the reset and then moved.

Posted by joey on 04-20-2018 11:17 PM:

I guess I need to shoot my piece of junk. He hunts hard enough and fast enough that I got buddies that complain about it some nights. He averages 5 to 6 mph. Keep in mind that it averages speed by how far the dog has traveled divided by the time the collar has been tracking. So all the time treeing is considered setting still and figured in. It does not give you real time speed so you should not see much of a change from when the dog is running or hunting. It just doesn't work like that. The only real use is when you are done hunting you will see the dogs average. So if you see 15 mph then the dog is traveling much faster than that at times during the night. No dog is hunting at that speed. They are running fence rows and roads. Or people have them on when the dog is in the truck or on the four wheeler and they are not resetting them.

How many of these higher speeds include the driving speeds too?
I can’t say I have looked very often but speeds I’ve seen from coondogs usually are within 3 - 5 mph average.

Dun got older and wiser

I have learned over the years to NEVER bet against another man's game, SO with that thought I would love to see one of those 15 to 20 mph hunting dogs perform in one of these 400ac 4 year old cut overs around here, shoot that would be fun to see it on the other side the GET BACK briers would have it looking like a piece of ground beef,SEE MEMORY LOST it would be floating over them SORRY DISREGARD. SPEED DOES MATTER inNASCAR AND WALKER DOGS When you hunt B/T as in a marksman ACCURACY is what matters. GET U SOME
