If your interested in deer and she is too, I would do that. No training required. We gotta knock out 50 coons a year to these hounds and break them off everything else in the hopes they will strike a coon and tree it but the truth of the matter is nearly all hounds regardless of breed or bloodline are natural born deer dogs from the first time they smell a hot track. Your already set up for success.
I disagree. I know of quite a few dogs, if given the correct opportunities are natural born coon dogs and will run and tree nothing but a coon. I have a pup here about the same age as the one mentioned above in the post and she has ran and treed far more coon than deer or any other type of game. Any deer she did run she quit after about 4 or 500 yards until she realized it was too fast and didn't want to chase any more. The way dogs are bred these days, you have much more of a chance of getting a naturally starting dog than years ago. Just my opinion though.
