You will probably see a big confidence change in her after the first 5-10 coons you put down to her strictly by herself.

Good Luck!!

It's not about her coming around that has nothing to do with breeding her, it's about acknowledging that you don't have enough experience to be successful at it on your own. Like I said if you have interests in breeding find a mentor.
Focus on your training, get her straightened out, then train another and another and another... then you will have a better idea of what you would like to breed for, then find someone honest enough to let you know where to go from there.

As far as track power goes... coon do climb trees don't they?
That being said unless you have hunted her alone for an entire season you have no idea what you have on your hands. I think you will see a world of a difference after 30 nights of her being singled out.

I like that after all he said she was a pup her self.i don't think 30 nights will do it unless your in cherries are the beginning of acorns.she just about the right age to make a dog.

Severral years ago i remember a female being bred to a particular stud dog and the combination threw winners. Imagine my surprise when the owner said the female couldn't tree a coon if she was in a quarter acre pen with a hundred coons in it. She was a complete zero. one of the males won quite a bit and was offered at stud and was bred some, never threw a pup worth a plug nickel. You could very well end up with a whole litter that didn't tree, not a chance i would be willing to take.
