Get a little chat going here about what everyone's preference of a dog is. How they hunt, tree, etc?
Me personally, i like the independent loners that roll on and have their own coon. My 11 month old pup im currently working is a mixture of tree type. Some trees hell be stretched out chopping on the wood and other times youll walk in and hes sitting down blowing the top out of it.

I really have no preference ,If I like it I like it and if not it's gone. I have had silent dogs , dogs that barked on track too much , bawl mouth and chop mouth tree dogs , some that were wild hunting and some that just hunt average , I like a variety so I can choose what to take on a particular night they just must tree coons, I can not stand a mean dog tho and I don't care how many coons it can tree

I have a few things I look for color doesn't matter breed doesn't matter but when I unsnap a hound it better do these things get gone don't come back and have a coon want it to be independent but if it has to cover want it to be fast and smart enough to take another dogs track and take a first tree I want a hound thay is social enough to be family pet but serious when put in box that is what u start looking for.




Draw a straight line cull hard and you will find what you like

I like a dog that is predictable that I know in different situations that they will handle the pressure of all kinds and still get a coon treed. Because they got to make up for my lack of handling skills.

I've had a darn good Bluetick and Black-Tan.

Bawl on track and chop on tree (have had a good one that was bawl at the tree also) treeing is like a baseball player, don't care if he's left handed or right, don't care if they belly rub or sit back. They have to be right 80 percent of the time or more. This strain I started hunting in 1960's and I have not ever had any that were mean. I have seen it in other hounds I have owned, first time is their last-period!! (For those that think you can fix it, after you screwed up a nice young pup or lost a good hunting partner, you'll learn)

Has to pack and work together--I'll be dam if I'm going to hunt an independent hound that won't track and tree with others.

Has to be open on track-let me know when they smell coon and then again after they got it figured out all the way to the tree. If I want to just listen to some barking dog, I could save money by not owning any and sit in the truck at the junk yard and have their dogs P O at me??

Get out of my light and hunt out a 1/4 to 1/2 mile and if nothing, check back. This go until treed doesn't work where I hunt. They'll either get ran over or you'll have company waiting at the truck.

Have to have heart and brains---over 60 years following coon hounds, beagles and fox/coyote hounds, those are 2 things you can not train in a hound.

I havent had a ton of hounds but ive had a few. I love the drive in my two males i have now. They go until you quit, they always want more. Thats a big ideal for me, i like the chop mouth personally but thats just what im use to. I dont want mine to come back once their cut unless i want them to. Its enabling where i am though. I want them to split and do it themselves. i hate me 2 dogs. idc if they win or not. ill take a solo dog that trees their own coon any day. I dont mind backing here and there. But its personal preference.

i want a dog that leaves like a rocket . gets his mouth open fast for first or second strike . barks enough the time dont get him . trees a coon alone just barley in hearing he just bushwacked .with two looking down . if he has company whips everything that went with him cause at a mile deep he will be by his self when you get there . if other cast members can run a mile in 5 minutes he must be be broke to stop fighting when he sees my light coming . winner winner chicken dinner . lol at the house he must pace in his pen non stop . never quit barking without his electric color on his neck eat his own poop if he doesnt ruin it walking in it all day . spills his water and food as much as he can . barks in the box in the new truck he won me all the way to the woods so i know for certain he is fired up and ready to go .if not fired up feed him a little red pill to get him where he needs to be for max performance . get my pitcher took every where we go .lol stud him out for 500 $ a pop and sell pups for 5oo $ cause he has that all grand pedigree every one demands . collect him at never gone for my retirement $ .

I want something that you can turn towards a dog treed and for it to slide right past that dog like a hot knife through butter and do it's own thing on past that dog/dogs that are treed, so basically be very independent but not a fault!
I want to be very confident in that I am going to see a coon when I get there, I don't want to question whether or not it's right or not but I want it to sound like it is right every time it looks up! I want to pull a dog out of the box and it leave my feet in a dead run when I unsnap it off of a leadstrap! I also want brains and for it to mind me like a well-disciplined kid!
I want one to sound like a runaway freight train on the ground and have that locate & changeover we all want to hear! But all in all, I want consistency and consistency is key! I want to be able to pack mine anywhere in the country and be confident that it will and can tree coons in whatever terrain or weather conditions I put it in! Just my opinion & preference.. thanks for reading.
