I own a dog b and prefer a dog b I hate a dog that you drop and they blow out of the country. I hunt with a bunch of grand nite whatevers that get DEEP and I have had them get DEEP and my old dog B go right behind them after checking back 2 or 3 times and tree coons behind them. Trust me I have had him put it on a many a grand nite whatevers because of this. All I do is pleasure hunt not in it for the cash or someone else screwing me and calling my dog stuff that would just end in a fist fight trust me I got a short fuse at times. I have turned down big money for my dog b because of it making dog a look stupid....

All hard going, big and wide hunting dogs don't run past coon. That is a different kind called foot racers

I've talked about it on other forums how she might be a mile or more. Cur dog men would always claim they would tree coon behind me. Invited lots to try it. None had the nerve don't recken. What most of them didn't realize is our thin coon and a lazy 2 or 3 hundred yard huntin dog will not tree you ANY right now on Dawson Forest. Paulding Forests litter mate but steeper lol!!!

200 yards? You know better than that. I can ride you around all night turning out and us not tree nothing. Now I might could handle a 1000 yard circle

Ain't happening here either. We can test this theory though. Im free Prolly after this week. I can guide a 200 yard dog all night. For nights on end. I bet in 5 turn outs. We don't tree nothing. In 10 maybe 1. Least I normally have never or have saw anybody else do it here either. If we tree 5 or 6 though all around the truck. I'll be buying that dog before they go home

Dog A as long as it's not a road runner, or a dog racer. I want that dog hunting hard not just in a dead run for a mile, or running trash. A hard hunting dog A will be struck and treed before a dog B. There is a big differnce.

the style of hunting dog you need depends on what part of the country you hunt. where I live I got a 7mth old pup it will tree 6-10 coon in 1 woods be home before 10 pm some times before 9 pm.

200 thats not very far but over a mile is to far. i guess im a little picky but i perfer somewere in the middle most of the time. my choice is neither. i cant make dog b go farther so i dont think i would be happy with that one. dog a i would try to control with the tone if that worked out well i maybe could be happy with this one but that tone button better work more times than not.

What you got now ol buddy? It don't matter to me what anyone hunts as long as I don't have to hunt with it regular My perfect dog I think would hunt about 45 min alone. If not struck. Come on back. Im getting to old for these hills. Now on flat land. I don't care if they go to the ends of the earth
