Got my female qualified last night at darbydale OH.Took first place.Her half brother is also qualified.Both are honest coondogs that are very accurate,time will tell I guess.Not bad for a couple of hillbilly coondogs.Jillie made it to the finals last year and done nothing wrong,her handler left a lot to be desired but maybe this year I will keep my cool.For the bluedog folks these are dogs out of a male that every serious hunter should try.I never was in this for the money,I am a coonhunter before a competition hunter even though they are the same dogs.A dog that is the same accurate dog every night can and will win hunts,for those that think they need something different will not make it very far,this goes for all the other breeds as well as I have hunted with some great dogs from southern OH that I call off colored.

Mr Valentino I know where you are coming from as dad raised me from the old school of hunting.I have had the pleasure of hunting with some blue dogs from mr sebastion,avon ellison,and byron stalnaker.These were powerhouse bluedogs that the oldschool coonhunters lived by.Today they would be scoured but this was our forefathers of the bluetick breed.If peole would take the time and trace the history the would realize where the real coondogs came from.Every Jocasee valley and Mountain music bluedog should already be in the hall of fame.Have you ever heard of the old time great that stayed treed for 12 hours plus [Glenvilles rowdy]Avon ellison sure did .
