Originally the competition hunts highlighted superior hounds, but the performance of most competition dogs today does not identify which dog is truly the best at treeing coon. Most competition dogs will not compete against each other and so it is impossible for owners with more than one dog in their kennel to honestly tell you which of their dogs is the best. Dogs that have been trained or bred to optimize the rules succeed in most hunts. With that said, the current competition style dog can be beat in a hunt with an outstanding dog that is a true first and first type dog because of their ability tree coon while the loner style dog has other things on their mind. What is your reason for competition or pleasure hunting? The reason for lack of attendance at events is simple. IT IS NO LONGER FUN! The culture that I've observed in recent events is similar to the hit TV shows "Survivor and Big Brother" which I don't believe have a printed set of "HONOR RULES". This is my opinion and I'm sticking to it. Ken Risley
I'm looking for a top pleasure dog. I'd like to hunt with several top performing dogs that are proven reproducers this next spring. I'm looking for a dog to breed my Penney dog to. The male dog that I'm looking for must be balanced in ability and equal or superior to Penney in ability. I'd like to hunt with at least two generations of the bloodline. Titles are not as important as ability. Must be highly intelligent and born with natural ability. I have zero tolerance for aggressive behavior toward other dogs, but must to tough on game. If you think you may have what I'm looking for send me a PM. To me a top pleasure dog is better at treeing coon than any dog I drop them with. Thanks for your time.
