thoughts on the hunt test
Ive said for years that it should be manditory that a dog go thru some kind of test just like this BEFORE it can earn a hunting title such as NT.CH.GR.NT.CH. Earn your points and their put on hold till you pass this test! Holding a UKC degree USED to mean you was packing a nice hound and now there are some nice ones but there are also some that wont leave your feet by themselves! WE COULD BETTER EVERY BREED IF WE DONE THIS AND MADE IT MANDITORY!!
Whats everyone think of this?? dont be shy, Lets here it
...
could make for some better casts too! I like the idea.

Handle every situation like a dog... If you can't eat it or screw it, pi$$ on it and walk away!
Getting a dog is the closest we can get to choosing our relatives.
I think it has pros and cons the same as everything else.The cons i see are it will be great for those dogs that are too slow,too mean,no mouth,won't take pressure or refuses to do its job(etc. etc.) in the company of others.
It would have meant more to me if it was the final step in earning a degree after a dog had the required points to make nt.ch.
Just my opinion,and that will mean as much to most as this hunt test will mean to me....nothing. lol

Its really no differ'nt than Trying to Single a Hound.. First you have to Pass the Breed Standards and Conformation. Then The Hunt Test.. And then you can compete in Reg. UKC Events..

No, don't tie it together.
What a dog is doesn't affect you unless you are breeding to it or getting a pup out of it. In that case, SHAME ON YOU, if you depend on either a NTCh or a HTX title to tell you all you think you need to know about a dog.
Instead, administer your own "hunt test" and make sure the dog passes before you breed or get a pup. THAT is how you will better the breeds..

Are you kidding John??? You want those guys to bust brush behind a hound so they can figure out what to breed to?
John, I agree with what your saying but when you cant hunt with all the studs you are considering (to far, or they wont hunt them) it would be nice to know they will atleast go hunting and tree a coon by themselves! Its amazing to me how many dogs gt a first place win in open registered hunts now day where there was only two or three dogs showed up at the hunt. Trust me, I judge my dogs everynight as hard as any man hunting. I could tell a little more about yours and others if I knew they had the desire and ability to do it on their own. No piggy backing, No me too'n just them and the Judge. Heck i would even be for not having to pay to get the final hunt certified. Just brings more validity to a dogs hunting ability.

Another question would be "How many who voted yes in the above poll have never titled a hound in their life?".

if there is only a couple dogs at the hunt the dog with the first place has plus points tells you the dog can tree a coon.thanks ron
With the way this is written it will be no harder for the cheaters to cheat at this. I have been involved in beagle hunts for years and if coon hunting is like that, you have the ones who are going to cheat no matter what. I judged in a beagle hunt and had a judge cheat for his buddy and his buddy won. Luckly I was not master of hounds on that hunt and the master did not stand up to him so the hound ended up winning.
The only way to ever know for sure what your breeding to is to see him in the woods. The greatest coon dog I ever saw had no title on him. He was just a great dog and a meat dog above all. If the comp hunting world would have see him in the woods they would have beat the man's door down to breed to him even with no title. I heard about this dog and did what I had to do to see him. I went for a hunt and ended up hunting with this dog over 100 times in the next 2 years. That is the only way to know what your getting. Titles mean nothing to me, it is all about what he does in the woods. $10,000 dollars would not buy this dog that had no titles because I tried. Meat hunters have some of the best dogs in the world that comp hunters may never see. No titles and no test. Go see what your breeding to. Do not take the owners word on some hunt test that he may have bought and paid for. If the owner will not hunt then move on to someone who will. There are enough "Stud Dogs" out there to find one who will stand behind what he says he has.

Just all 'round , meat gettin' hounds.
Lets take the STUD theory out of it. COONDOGS period should in my opinion HAVE to, NOT an option.......... take a similar test before it make a nite hunt degree. Are you telling me you would rather not have to PROVE your dog deserves it? Take all the dout anyone may have about you dog being able to ATLEAST do what its bred to do? Im guessn theres more that cant than there is that can.
chris we drove to missouri last weekend to a hunt test and passed a grand and a nite ch. and are goin back to try fr the next 2 tests this weekend. we decided to do this to prove that these 2 hounds are worthy of bein titled. i also belive that a hound should have to rerturn to the woods with a master of hounds on completion of reciving its required points for nite ch. we are going to try to start some hunt tests at yhe paola club. myself and dale hurlock will be 2 of the inspectors
well Jim....
I voted yes on the poll......
quote:and yes I have titled dogs (years ago)........ I might add that if I had some of them today & were trying to title them, then I would difinately vote "NO"........ I'm no different then anyone else, if I'm packing a coondog, then yes by all means give any test you like..... if I'm packing a dog that needs or prefers to be in company, then no, no, no the hunts themselves is all the test my dog needs........
