As usual sheep, you just dont seem to grasp the big picture...

I hunt tight mouth dogs, It would be very easy for me to sit here and say my dogs NEVER EVER babble....I doubt anyone would say otherwise.

Fact is they will, not often, but they do.

When your dog barks in the kennel is it winding a coon?

The problem is that breeder's breed around the rule's & when it's fair game every single turnout can you blaim them? I beleive we can thank our respective breed representative's on the rule's committee for that one.

My number one pet peeve is babbling idiot's & there seem's to be more that do than don't. Aggrevate's me to no end & if I have one that think's about it there can be & is some fairly harsch consequence's.

Anytime I hear a coonhunter use the words "NEVER, EVER", I know one of two things for sure. He is either full of crap or he just doesn't know what is happening out there.

the worst rule EVER to be changed was giving the dogs a 1 minute grace period before they must be struck.

in the old days dogs barked 3 times off the lead they had to be struck and minussed on the first offense and scratched on the second. If you had a babbler he wassnt ready for the hunts.

the only thing the grace period did was eliminate the need to break them.

Everyone keeps telling me akc's rule of not being able to strike a dog in the first minute is the way to go. BS, that absolutely does nothing to promote breaking babblers. All they are doing is trying to minimize the advantage of a babbler.

Lets go back to the old way. Break them.

Elvis, Man I am with you 100% on that one. Seem's like an honest strike dog is penalized way to much by that one minute let'er rip rule. Wouldn't be quite so bad if the dude on the end of the leash didn't take advantage of it every time the snap goes "CLICK"!!

You'd be amazed what you can do with a lil properly controled electricity.

I have found in my own experience anyway that by hunting young dog's alone a bunch they tend not to do that when in company. Of course there are exception like alway's.

By huntin them alone a bunch I mean boo koo night's not just here & there. Mine typically are coondog's before they get the opportunity to hunt with other hound's.

It does & can make a difference I just don't think alot hunt them alone enough as young dog's & are alway's cuttin them loose behind drag racin wantin to dump off the barkin idiot type down the feild edge or loggin roads.

Just my take on it for what that's worth!

I agree, I think alot of it is caused by turning pups loose with old dogs and they can't keep up.

I used the Tritronics to cure a few dogs that showed a tendency to babble. I have one that I slowed way down but in certain situations she will still babble.

A daughter of hers appears to me to be UNBREAKBLE. Before anyone says she's a worthless me-too idiot, she's as nice and honest a dog as I've seen for her age, when hunted alone. She's smart in other ways and learns fast. She knows to shut up in the kennel when she gets the juice. Put her with another dog and OMG... I've given her the juice and it seems to make no difference.

I don't know if I'm not a smart enough trainer or if she's a lost cause and thought I'd ask those that have trained a few.

recently if drew out a dog from southern ohio in world finals in elizabeth and all night long he was babbling so i am going to post on here how to handle it professionaly in a hunt. Jeff nelson was the judge on our cast and he handled it perfectly couldn't ask for a better judge or guy . all night long i was getting second strike and split treeing by my self i just could not get a strike on this dog and right off the lead he started in babbling here is the problem he never stopped and moved a track and got treed with a coon. if they don't shut up you can not get them for it . no matter what . last drop he is beating me by a 25 guide takes us to a drop and we walk the dogs a hundred yards all the way to the woods and not a sound just when i thought he was going to say cut them loose he says stop and walk back , we turned around and walked all the way back cut them loose now if there was a coon there those dogs would have been going crazy off the lead when we walked them up there the first time. the dog ended up being minused for babbling .
You can follow the same step in your casts just try and do it early in the hunt so you can get that babbling crap out of the cast and strike in for real.

Like I said earlier, turn them loose in a hay field where there is no corn or timber. I would bet that babbler will bark everytime in all areas.

Two Toes your right just the right electricity does wonders. I won't own a babbler.

Far as Im concerned if they are a known babbler they shouldn't be allowed to hunt. As stated by Two Toes sure hurts the honest strike dog! And no I would also bet that so called cold nose hound is babbling too. Not all cases but the majority!

I have had both, the babbler and the honest strike dog. I prefer the honest strike dog but the babbler is tough to beat in competition.

I was on a cast where two hounds were babbling right off the lead and was getting struck just out of sight. The third dog and my dog wasn't babbling and was getting last strike. We had a plan to hold our dogs behind the babblers and pet them up on the turn loose. Both of our dogs opened a couple times and we struck them in. Those other two guys got all kinds of upset and called us cheaters amoung other things. What goes around comes around didn't seem right with those guys.

Every dog will or has babbled sometime in its life. The same goes for one leaving a tree, treeing in the ground, treeing slick etc. They are dogs and they WILL do dumb things. Anyone who thinks they have a dog that wont do any or all of those things either dont know what theyre talking about or theyre a liar. Anything that will eat s*@# and s@$#% its own mother is subject to do ANYTHING!!

First of all I never said anything about you or your dogs. I was talking about all of them. Including mine. Maybe only did it once or twice but did it nevertheless. This is not really that hard to score if a competent judge is toting the scorecard. If a good judge really thinks a dog is babbling, all hes gotta do is say he believes the dog is babbling and is minused its strike. If the handler dont agree, and he wont, they can question the call and vote on it. You'll win some and you'll lose some.
