Steve,
the picture of the old dog treeing with his left foot on the tree was taken about his 11th or 12th year. Prior to this, he always treed up on the tree, belly rubbing and looking straight up the tree. I think " old Arthur " was working on him in his later years.
When the old dog was just short of two years old, I purchased Browns Ramblin Dixie and line bred them. She had Ramblin Red Ace, top and bottom, three times in her Ped. This complimented the Timber Chopper blood in his mother, Mable. From this litter there were 6 pups, one died, leaving 4 females and 1 male. All of these pups finished into very good coondogs. This is where Nt. Ch. Penney came from. She was an outstanding little tree dog. Nothing could take her off the tree. She was good natured, we trained many pups with her. She was like her daddy, when turned loose, she had but one thought on her mind, find Mr. Coon and tree him. She also was very straight on coons. She was 12 years old when she passed, two months after her daddy passed. Daughter Coochie reminded me so much of her. Cootchie was the only pup out of a litter of 14 that lived. We raised her from day 1 by hand. Rosemary took care of her like a baby. It seemed that all the pups we raised were natural tree dogs. It has been a pleasure hunting this line of dogs, they made me so proud of them and are still doing the job the way I like. We hunted Nite Ch. Billy Bob last night. He is bred the same as Bunny, a Grandson of the old dog. We're going again tonight, the Good Lord willing. You say, how did they tree, normally started at an early age and were outstanding tree dogs.
