My Cutter pup is 9 months old now I changed his name to Bates' Stylish Cutter, he's been making progress with leaps and bounds since I got him 2 months ago and hed never been out of the pen. He still has a long way to go and sometimes has hard time getting a track straight in the swamp but has been treeing coons on his own with out feeders. Last Friday our local ACHA club had a bench show and a hunt. He won his class on bench and finished hunt with 250+ (2nd in cast). On the first drop he ran a track down into the swamp and would locate but wouldn't never settle down, finally another dog came to him and slammed treed, then Cutter started treeing, once the 5min was up and we headed in it didn't take long to realize they were split but within 20yds of each other. So we shined the other dogs tree and he had the coon, I seen my pups tree and it looked dead at the base I figured he had messed up, but sure enough as soon as I looked up he had the raccoon on the outside right smack on top of tree. Needless to say I was tickled. HE loves getting by himself and has no problem hunting alone as deep he needs to. He still has a long ways to go and needs a lot of time in the woods but the good nights are getting more frequent. Sorry to bore yall but im a little proud last few weeks. Oh ya I also got a Puppy class win on bench in UKC last Saturday
