Thanks JV.....
I really really enjoy the time I get to spend hunting MR. T. I have been attempting to coonhunt since the middle 80's and this is the first pup I raised out of 4 that amounted to anything. As far as the brindle, like other breeds, color phase rarely has anything to do with ability. Personally I like a really brindle plott.
He is not perfect and might not be what alot of folks like, but man I just love him and he trees me coon and thats really all a fella can ask for.
THAT IS GREAT BRIAR HUNT THE HAIR OFF HIM........BACK WHEN I WAS A YOUNG LAD MY FRIEND AND I BOUGHT TWO PUPPIES FROM JAKE MORRIS OF PULASKI COUNTY KENTUCKY ( SCIENCE HILL AREA ) THESE TWO WERE HALF PLOTT HALF BLUETICK....THE FEMALE THAT I BOUGHT WAS OF THE BLUETICK COLOR AND HIS MALE WAS A LIGHT BLACK AND TAN WITH SOME BROWN IN HIM. HE NAMED HIM BALDY AND MY FEMALE I CAN'T RECALL HER NAME BECAUSE SHE DID NOT WORK OUT AND LIVED A SHORT LIFE WITH ME. BALDY HOWEVER STARTED TREEING COON BY HIMSELF AY 7 MONTHS OLD AND BECAME WELL KNOWN IN OUR COUNTRY AS A COON DOG THIS WAS IN THE 60'S...HE AT THIS TIME PUT US GUYS IN A DIFFERENT COON HUNTING WORLD BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO WALK THIS HOUND AT ALL JUST TURN HIM IN A DIRECTION YOU WANTED HIM TO GO AND HE WENT UNTIL HE FOU8ND A COON. BALDY TRAINED A LOT OF DOGS TO HUNT THIS WAY.......I HAD A BLACK AND TAN CALLED LUCY THAT TOOK BALDY'S PLACE IN THE COUNTRY.......SHE WAS A COON TREEING MACHINE AND HAD HUNT ,DRIVE, AND DESIRE TO PLEASE HER MASTER. SHE WAS A TREE DOG NEXT TO NONE AND WAS LOUD ACCURATE AND VERY STRAIGHT AFTER A FEW BEATINGS FROM RUNNING A FOX..I WISH I HAD ONE NOW THAT WAS AS GOOD AS LUCY OR BALDY.....THEY WERE GOODINS...........
