i hunted with several good blue dogs and the best was a female we traded for in 1977 that didnt have any papers ,she died of old age at my house.
if another dog started running a deer before she found a coon track to run,she would check the dog and if it was a deer track ,she would beat it back to your side and sit there and cock her head and listen to the race,,lol,we didnt have a shocker then but she knew running a deer was going to get a stomping to who ever did it.
another night she got on a old coon that kept jumping out when i got close to the tree,she treed it in a sapling about 8 feet off the ground,i got within 100 feet of where she was treed and she shut up,i turned the light out and was following a trail to the area she was at and heard something on the trail if front of me and turned the light on and it was her,,she did the lassie thing coming toward me and turning around and going away like she wanted me to follow her ,so i did with the light down on low,in a little ways she made a left turn off the trail about 5 feet and stood on the tree and just looked at me like here it is boss not barking just looking at the coon and then me,,lol ,it was an old female about 18lbs ,no fur undercoat, just all hair,wished i hadnt shot it after seeing how old it was but the dog did more than her job and got her reward..
i havent seen any coondogs of any breed since then, that was as smart as she was but have been hunting with a lot of good coondogs that could tree a coon..blueticks too.
most knowned bluetick i hunted with was sparetime spanky and the night i was along on that hunt,he put a spanking on the other dogs and they were top dogs also..he would drop out of a race and tree a layup and be scored and turned back on the running track and run the track and catch up with the other dogs and still get 1st or second tree,,,,that was the night i hunted with him ,have heard other people say he wasnt as good the night they hunted with him but that was the summer before he won the world hunt and jerry was hunting the hair off him,which might have been the reason he look so good that night..
there was another blue dog named ben not far from me that was all coondog,turned him loose and he was going to be under a coon the next time you saw him...
