Where are all the really great track dogs? I am talking about the ones that can run a coon(the right way)and not take all night to do it, the ones that can run a coon on dry dusty ground or a frozen swamp and put a coon in a tree and not take all night doing it. The ones that can run a coon and tree it in the river bottoms with two and three foot of water and have a coon in a tree at the end AND NOT TAKE ALL NIGHT DOING IT... Just curious?

There are some still around, I have proof.

A coon hound has a lot of traits that must ballance, you need enough track and enough tree. To much of either and you start loosing out on what it takes to be a Great one.

Well, he is past his time, but the ole man is still out back.lol

I am hoping this pup will take over where the ole man left off. I seen her run a rabbit track in the back yard that was several hours old when it was drier than a bone and in the hottest part of the day last summer.

The last 10 or 15 years everybody decided it was more important to have a treefighting, 150 bark per minute dog that would tree quick than to have a real coondog. That's what happened.

Jason,

I bet ya you can't come up with 12 nice post by Christmas. Something like compliment someone or tell how someone impressed ya or the like. The catch is every time you post a negative post that counts against your total.

How about it? Are ya game?

Janice Joplin won a world hunt by being a good track dog.
Good track dogs are accurate first tree dogs in company.

very few dogs today are good track dogs that can compete on the same coon with one that is.
A dog that blows thru the country getting away from the other dogs and trees easy coon, seems to be what most people like nowadays. Now add to that one that runs junk or just babbles as he is going thru the country looking for an easy one, and you have one that many refer to as an awesome track dog.lol.
They win, they are easy to call, people breed to them, and in my opinion are ruining any hopes of a track dog revival.

I have a dog that can track a week old track and run it right. Cold nosed but can still push it as fast as any other dog Ive hunted with. There is one little secret about how to find a good track dog......................GET A BLUETICK.................
