Lipper had I believe 33 pups sired by him. Unfortunately he was bred before I got him never got a litter myself. I had bought a female that was yr old that was directly off of gntch blue river frosty named rose I planned on breeding him to. I used Lipper to train her. By the tome she was I called a coondog n ready to breed she was 2.she came in heat n we was excited to finally ready to get our Lipper pups. It was during coon season. I left Rose at home since she was in heat on third day and took Lipper solo to tree some coons. Old Lipper had one treed on side of a sixty foot rock cliff. I started to sqaul to check tree n find the coon. I was gonna tie Lipper up after I found coon n knock it out. As I started to squal the coon bailed out n jumped over cliff n Lipper went over after it. Still have nightmares of it. I'll never understand while I didn't leash him up first thing but I would've never thought it would jump out over cliff. Lipper did live, broke his back n all his legs. He was all heart, the time I got down to him had the coon his mouth. He managed to crawl to it n finish his job. I was bawling w guilt. I carried him out of the woods. He was never able to breed again. But vet said he would never walk or hunt again. Four months later Lipper got his noodle legs under him n walked. Six months after incident at the age of 9 he could still tree coins on his noodled back legs. I would take the old man only alone n let him do what he loved until he died. Out of all lippers great traits his heart n desire to do what he loved was the greatest.
