Well I know wild n crazy. Its my style hunting, but I don't like a dog with poor kennel manners. Well that young 13 month old pup a talked about on here being super trashy wasn't so super trashy at the chkc world hunt. He hunted Friday late round for a spot in the finals against Atwells red dog that won it. Both a coon on the card, both got treed again in the last few minutes of the hunt. Red dog had a coon and Little Dale had a den. But to say I'm proud to have been a part of him is an understatement. And they got offered some huge $ for him last weekend. He'll be at the superstars as a 1 year old. And I've already been asked to finish him out after the SS. He's the type that will go 5 yards or 5 miles. But he has a bunch of talent. I think we made the correct decision with letting him run junk for a long time. All's we've been doing is hunting. Not killing ourselves or him by trying to break him. He always gives you a chance to win.
And we traded the red dog we had for a male walker that you'll see him around. He's a big hunting 25/100 type. He doesn't say much on the ground but he's got a huge mouth that you can hear for a long ways. Normally has a coon which helps.
Both of these dogs are what I'd call wild n crazy hunting type. Both have kennel manners though. Neither barks a bunch in the kennel or chews the chain link. And they don't smear the poo all over.

Novacaine I’ll take a young dog like you describe any day of the week over one that’s not got that extra drive. I also think a lot of people get one like that get to caught up on breaking them from running whatever they decide to run. Most of them will quit there selves or slow down on running junk.

Congratulations, I see where your "wild and crazy" redbone Boone won Redbone Days. Of course he had a young handler that could keep up with him. Lol. Dave

The “Wild and Crazy” meaning for me...a dog when free casted runs wide open in a straight line all the while looking for a smoking hot track because that is the only track he wants to run...that is all it takes for me to cull...

A hard driving dog that finds game quickly from close up and works his way out further as needed to continue finding game and with good winding and tracking skills is a dog that is a pleasure to hunt behind...and a pup that starts out very trashy that produces game is the best indicator as to what kind of hunting dog I will have one day...breaking them to the right game is not that hard...but it is done very carefully...we have to keep it positive...

Any dog that can produce coon can win. Check out the scores in these hunts. Don't take anyones opinion or word on the subject. Scores are posted all the time on the internet. Check them out. If you dog can tree two coon on a cast and not loose its points. It can be an above average winner. I know that doesn't seem to much to ask from a dog. Well then why doesn't it happen from often.
