Breed Question

What breed of coonhounds do you think has the most ill dogs?

Posted by Jeff Prince on 06-09-2015 11:08 PM:

Lol i'm not going to touch that one ! !
But I will say this , I hunted for several years before I ever saw a plott dog and had heard it so much I was convinced they were just like pitbulls. Well I keep a plottdog here for a guy to hunt and he switches them out every couple months. So far I've hunted about a dozen for him and other people. I have yet to hear one so much as growl. I think maybe they've got a bad reputation they don't deserve.

That's a hot weather, sitting in the house question if there ever was one!

There are are tons more walkers out there than all breeds combined, so it goes without saying that there are more ill walkers than any other breeds. There are more walkers that tree coons.There are also more walkers that win hunts. There are also more walkers that win shows. You get my drift.

Having said that, I've seen significantly more rough blue dogs proportional to the amount entered than any other breed. And the best dog I ever saw go was a blue tick, so go figure..?

Folks used to generalize a lot about the different breeds, as if one breed had something over another. These days, I don't know, maybe it's just that I am older than I was...maybe it's that I have seen a lot more dogs since. I will say that if you took 20 of each breed and dyed the entire dog purple, so you could not tell one from the other, then hunted/kept them for a period of time you could not tell which purple dog was what breed.

Redbones, not many around but it seems every time i draw a red dog it is a grouchy, jealous SOB. And the one good natured red dog i drew had a grouchy jealous SOB. of a handler.

My personal experience.

I've owned three blue ticks two males and one female. Both males were ill after age three. I've had three bnts. One English. One walker. And a plot. All far from ill.

Well, you might be right...the walker wouldn't be too hard to figure out. He would be the one that trees 42 squirrels a night and paced constantly in the kennel and barked all day. The black and tan would be the one that ran a track for 2 hours and took it an entire 50 yards. The English would take the track backwards and tree the den. The redbone would be the rattle headed babble mouthed idiot. It sounds like the bluetick would be the one that turns mean after a few years. The plott would be the one you only see once...he left to go find a bear. We can have a lot of fun with this but, at the end of the day, generalizing about dogs is no different that generalizing about people.

No the walker would bust a hole in the dark good mouth and come treed quick with the coon. The bluetick would pee on everything around.Have that bluetick aw aw mouth. Be treed bout daylight 100 yards away. The english. Well listen for a house dog. Redbone be trying but he still just a puppy at 4yr old. Ol black dog be treeing bears and bobcat. Plotting and cut hounds bout the same. You just want know what they gonna be doing. Thats probably the only 2 purple ones I couldn't tell what they was

You wouldn't guess right on the bluetick if my walker was the one...he cannot pass up a bush or small tree. He is so intent on hosing everything down he even gets up tight to a tree a raises one leg to sqeeze off a dump...swear to god, never seen that one before. My bluetick cannot pass up a small dead animal...both of them will find every dead animal in the woods and mess around with it, try to eat it, puke a few times, roll in it, drag it around and play with it, puke some more, etc.
