First off let me say that the desciptions I give of my dogs are gonna be of when they are or were hunted up and looking good. They have won casts from anywheres from 1 to 6 coons scored. They all are or were able to put up big scores. Also they all hunt for themselves and wont tree with others if they got beat to the tree and didn't like it. They'll all move on past a whole cast treeing slick and tree where the coon is. They are all open trailing dogs too. Telling you when the track heats up.
GrNt Patty (GrNt Toussaint Red Rowdy X NtCh Miller's Outlaw timber Spice)
Patty would bawl on track, give some bawl locates and chop steady on tree. Patty was a 1st strike type of dog with a cold nose that would open at first scent even when winding. She could wind a coon from a good ways away. She would take tracks as they come even if they were really old and they took a while to work. That was her weakness. She didn't stand on her head, but a REALLY old track can take a while to work up no matter what kind of dog your packing. She could move a good track with speed. She would split whenever she could, but run with the pack too if there was only one coon. Never paid attention to what the other dogs were doing. She was a fairly quick, stay put treedog. Very accurate. She did most of her winning by getting most 1st strikes and split whenever she could with a coon. Pattys main faults were that she only had a average volume mouth and could get drown out in a cast of loud dogs on tree. Also that she had what I would call too cold of nose. She would be trying to warm up an old track while a dog like her son Jeb would hit it where its hot and be treed before she got it lined out.
GrNt Jeb (GrNt Lash's Red Rowdy X GrNt Patty)
Jeb has a big bawl on track, a series of looooong dying bawl locates and steady chop on tree. Jeb is the best dog I've owned and I'd put him up against anything I've ever hunted against when he is hunted up and on his A-game. Jeb is a little more of a med-nosed type of dog. Still getting 1st or 2nd strike in most casts though. Jeb will run full bore head up until he winds a coon and he can wind them from a good distance. He'll run right past the old ends of tracks, hit them where there good and move them very fast drifting the track. He would get a majority of 1st trees in a cast and usually get split a few times a night too, just because he ran away from the rest of the cast before hitting a track. When you here Jeb locate you can put him on the paper. A true one-bark treedog. Even when the rest of the cast was right with him on track that locate would get him the 1st tree. If other dogs in a cast were opening on an old track you'd here Jeb in deep smoking a hot one. What made him a winner was many things. He will cover ground extremely fast running head up, wind a coon from a long ways away, gets struck fairly fast and is a very quick, decisive, stayput, accurate treedog. There were also many times where Jeb fired in deep, treed one by himself and still had time to get cut back in on the rest of the cast and score there coon too. A couple of times finishing that track before they did too. He didn't have to take a track to tree to tree it either. A few times he'd shut out the rest of the dogs in the cast because he ran head on into the coon track and just located and started treeing. Now before I tell everyone he could walk on water too I'll tell you a couple of his faults. He can look kind of dumb when the coon aren't moving and just sitting up. He can tree a layup, but he's not very good at it. Sounds like he's standing on his head when he's trying to tree a layup and sometimes misses by a couple trees. He's allways looked his best in the spring and fall.
GrNt Maggie (GrNt Jeb X NtCh Hightest Heidi)
Maggie bawls and chops on track, throws a few decent bawl locates and trees with a rolling chop. Maggie is only a 3rd or 4th strike dog in most casts against quick strike dogs. Except for the times she slips away from the cast and finds a track ahead of the rest. She has a good nose, but she just doesn't open until she starts to line a track out. When it heats up she drifts and can move them quick. She can also wind a coon from a long ways away and will move away from the rest of the cast and open on it and get some 1st strikes. Maggies bread and butter is that she is a very quick, decisive treedog. She will split from the others whenever she can and does a lot. Just like her dad and Grandmother she could be treed 10yds from the rest of the cast and she won't budge. The harder the other dogs tree, the harder she'll tree. She is also very accurate. She is also a dog that has and will tree her own and have time to get a piece of the other dogs coon too. When Maggie starts her rolling chops I can put her on the paper. No question when she's locked down. Maggie can tree layups and still can look good on the tough nights too. She doesn't need to take a track to a tree either. If she runs head into a coon track she'll just blow up treed. Maggies faults are she only has an average volume mouth and can get drown out when shes treed with loud dogs. Also the fact that she could be quicker to open on track.
Anyhow with all that I'd say for me and my mutts the biggest thing that makes a winner is a dog that can cover a lot of ground, find a track fast, move a track fast and is a quick, decisive, accurate, stayput treedog that gets split whenever they can and hunts for themselves without a care for what the other dogs are doing. Those are things I expect in my dogs.
