Blackwater B&T Coonhounds
I've seldom advertised on this board since I generally only keep females. But since this board is also for kennel promotion, I'd like to introduce my dogs, and what I am working for, on here.
I have a website with most of my information and you can get to it by clicking on the link below:
http://www.blackwaterbt.com/index.html
I'm currently hunting the 5th generation of B&T's I've raised, trained, produced, and competed with. Click below for a link to a list of dogs I've had a hand in.

I usually only keep perhaps an older female to raise pups from and something younger to hunt. My older female at this time is Blackwater Daze. She turns 7 years old, tomorrow.

If I have a female Daze's age, you can bet she's reproducing something I like. This next picture is an 18 mo. old female from Batman x Daze. I call her Battie. She's been singled out since last fall. I hunted her through last winter when she was 8-11 mos. old and treed alot of coons with her. She is perhaps the most natural starting pup and has the most ability for her age, of anything I've had.

The picture below is a 4 mo. old frozen semen pup from Solo x Daze. She is showing alot of the same signs as Battie. NATURAL ABILITY. This picture shows her treeing on a live coon she found on her own after I laid a drag trail with it.

I want dogs with natural coon treeing ability. I like to say I have low standards. When I turn a dog loose, I want to leash it under a tree with a coon in it. Thats all I expect...every time I turn them loose. I don't want a dog that goes past coons to find an easy coon, or one that jacks around for 100 minutes getting away from other dogs before it finally decides to tree. I don't want one that doesn't go hunting to find a coon or one that only works a hot track. That is a lack of ability and I don't care what they've won.
Natural coon treeing ability trumps every other trait. If I go coonhunting, thats what I want. If I go to a comp. hunt that has anything to do with recognizing a coondog, then thats what I want. Doesn't matter the weather, time of year, or terrain, whether coons are moving, or laid up. Fads come and go, dogs win without it but at the end of most nights if I have a dog that has desire and ability to put a coon on the limb and has done it well, I'll be happy.
I currently do not have anything for sale. I may raise 1-2 litters per year but it will be well into 2017 before I have anything. I usually keep a pup from every litter to start and as a result I usually sell a good young started dog about every year. I sometimes have a young dog for sale, like what you see above in Battie or the Solo pup. Again, I have nothing for sale at this time but feel free to check with me later. You can PM me on here or email me at johnd_125@hotmail.com. Ph. no. provided on request.
Thanks for reading.
