Just my experience a really bold pup will hunt for anybody usually hard headed hard to break. But a mild mannered pup once you bond with them will go out of there way to please you I know you probly already knew this probly just bored like me. Deer season is over at dark thirty tonight I am going with a pocket full of bullets !!

Until she had her 1st heat cycle I was seriously doubting if she was going to make much. Right now she's 15 months old, treeing some coons and while the verdict is still out she really has me thinking before she's done she just might make one of the best I've had. Bottom line is there wasn't really any secret to making a coon dog out of her. I just refused to give up on her before her second birthday and it's starting to pay off. She's still far from what you'd call bold and I'm sure she never will be but she's just turning into a well behaved, sensible coon dog.

I should add that when the mouse jumped out of the feeder the pup took after him which helped us regain some dignity, we left feeling tuffer then the mouse

i like the stand-off-ish type of dogs the ones that don't just run up and buddy up with anyone , that is a trait that some lines of dogs have bred in them ..
