If you take the body color of the first one and the white head and pooched up ears of the second together, then you have Spot. Especially if she grows up to have a dozen hairs on her tail. Spot belonged to "Uncle" John. We'd walk hunt and she never hunted out of the flashlight range but she'd trail and get in the dark and we'd follow. She trailed with a hoarse grunt and treed with a hoarse chop. Best I remember, she never had to trail over three hundred yards. I sure don't remember an empty tree and we only had two cell flashlights. One cold night she treed on the other side of a creek. We only had knee boots back then. Uncle John said,"We'll just rest right here. A coon ain't got no respect for a weak tongue dog. He'll get tired of that and come down and run her off or she might kill him." After about an hour, you could make out a comotion at the tree. Along came Spot with bloody ears and cut nose. He asked her,"did he run you off?" she just stood there. Then he asked,"Did you kill him?" She wagged that possum looking tail."Well I'll have to drive around there in the morning and get him."
Spot provided some of my fondest memories of 45 years of coon hunting. If your pup turns out like Spot, make that cross again and I will definately buy one.
