garmin has been around for awhile now so i am wondering if anyone has done there breeding standards off of the dogs speed on the garmin? weather the dogs bred was actually good or not is really kinda mute to what im curious about. i am more interested in just what speed came about? did it breed true? i guess it doesn't even matter to me if it's a coonhound, beagle, fox hound or whatever i just want to hear about anyone who has paid attention to it and there thoughts.

Mine goes 2-3 and trees more coons than any dog I ever hunted, Could be she's looking for coons and not the horizon.

Mine avg anywhere from 7-10 mph. Which is okay not great. But I know of a young English dog that averages anywhere from 12-14 hunting and 17-20 when struck. He's not perfect but covers ground like no other dog I've seen.

How in the world can a dog run 18 mph through a woods in the pitch dark without running into trees, bushes and putting out an eye? I can't drive my vehicle down a road after dark with my headlights off. And if they average 15-18 mph, that means that part of the time they are going 20-25 mph. Can you image going 25 mph through a woods in the dark?

i think most dogs average between 4 and 6 mph of coarse that also depends on terrain. yes some are slower and some faster. i'm not sold that speed on the garmin is directly related to how many coons you will get treed but most folks like a dog to hustle sure enough.

Everyone's dogs must be catching all the coon. Considering the speed of a raccoon.

Raccoon · Speed
3.11 mph (5 km/h) on average (In the water) · 9.94 mph (16 km/h) – 14.91 mph (24 km/h)

The average of my hounds might be a little better than 4 considering I don't look at it till the end, after all the trees and leading out of the woods. But I don't believe 17mph is attainable by my hounds.

Yes I have, told him if he wanted to see how fast he was to come on and hunt and check his mph himself. I go to hunt, not piss around looking at a garmin.

I think if a dog run 15 mph thru the woods up here it's gonna look like a toothless bulldog by the end of the week. Those dogs must be huntin different terrain then I am.

Hmmmm, if a dog runs and hunts at an average of 15 mph, he will have covered 30 miles in a 2 hr hunt. Now that would be one tired puppy. If you hooked a hound up to a 4 wheeler and drove 15 mph down a level road, how long do you think that he could keep up?

I guess I need to shoot my piece of junk. He hunts hard enough and fast enough that I got buddies that complain about it some nights. He averages 5 to 6 mph. Keep in mind that it averages speed by how far the dog has traveled divided by the time the collar has been tracking. So all the time treeing is considered setting still and figured in. It does not give you real time speed so you should not see much of a change from when the dog is running or hunting. It just doesn't work like that. The only real use is when you are done hunting you will see the dogs average. So if you see 15 mph then the dog is traveling much faster than that at times during the night. No dog is hunting at that speed. They are running fence rows and roads. Or people have them on when the dog is in the truck or on the four wheeler and they are not resetting them.

How many of these higher speeds include the driving speeds too?
I can’t say I have looked very often but speeds I’ve seen from coondogs usually are within 3 - 5 mph average.

I have learned over the years to NEVER bet against another man's game, SO with that thought I would love to see one of those 15 to 20 mph hunting dogs perform in one of these 400ac 4 year old cut overs around here, shoot that would be fun to see it on the other side the GET BACK briers would have it looking like a piece of ground beef,SEE MEMORY LOST it would be floating over them SORRY DISREGARD. SPEED DOES MATTER inNASCAR AND WALKER DOGS When you hunt B/T as in a marksman ACCURACY is what matters. GET U SOME
