Oh there are PLENTY good ones still out there you must be messing with some of the sorry lines. Believe me there are plenty of all grand latest and greatest that are not worth a bullet. But there are plenty good lines and reproducers out there. You want one line breed to any bitch get some BONE, you will be fine. I have one out of Bone and BACKWOODS BARBIE and i have turned down 2500.00 for him when he was six months old, it would take more than 10,000.00 to buy him now. COONDOG, HONEST HONEST first strike and has the coon. GET SOME BONE, i recently sold a six month old pup from bone and a skuna river fred bitch for 1500.00. I have a pup out of BACKWOODS BARBIE and Stylish PJ coondog. They are out there must get on the right bloodlines.

I agree that we had less trouble with slick treers back in the day.

We also waited until they were two or three years old for some of them to make solid tree dogs.

How was that old great blood and how short is your memory? I have been hunting 38 years and I know the lines what they throw and dogs of yesterday and today. Please give me today's with the right lines any day, ANY DAY. I know how many in a littler of old would make. How many would track how many would tree, and that was not the same. How many would start. I have had them out of all, top studs. Today's are better; but you must have the correct lines. I KNOW they are better, different and better. Or if you think dogs of old are better that means you believe every cross has been bad and none of the crosses have bettered what was before, please. I think you are rolling them too tight. So you want a litter where the pups maybe two before they tree and maybe three or four out of eight will tree, oh the good old days.

A top hound is very hard to find I don't care how much money you have to spend,
A lot of people claim to have one but very few measure up when you go look at them.

Nowhere in my original post did I make this about old blood vs. new blood . I'm in the market for a coon treeing dog . I don't care what breed or sex . I'm looking for a dog like I described in my original post. I log for a living and look at trees without coon in them all day long . Less people coon hunt these days and less than that know what a real coon treeing dog is . Elvis hit the nail on the head with his post . Oh yeah I'm still looking , I've had a couple guys say they have one that can be bought and I'm looking into it . Haven't found one yet .

I never have claimed to have nothing more than an average coon dog once in a while in 50 years of hunting but one thing i will guarantee you a one hour hunt is not what you can call a hunt in eastern or southeastern kentucky for by the time you get to the top of the first mountain and back your hour is ove hunt over and your dog gone money entry fee gone gas gone and you hungry as H***.

You call that fun and coon hunting if you want to i call it a bunch of crap.

Oh what were the subject we were discussing any way?????

The good ones are not a dime a dozen, hard to find but it starts with two things. The right blood and training. Although the real real good ones don't require as much training that's for sure. I know I posted about old blood versus new. One of the main ways dogs are better now than then, is more tree. Dogs of old lots would track but no tree or weak. I know some will say oh wait now we have these slick treeing idiots. True some are tree happy, but lots and lots get there slick treeing trained in. These dogs have to be trained different. Too many get to the tree and pet them, show dog they are happy squawl before a coon is ever seen. With dogs that have a high tree drive, you have to train. No petting squawling until coon seen. Anyway there is a lot more about training.

Really good coon dogs are about like a bobcat around here. What I mean is as much as I travel and ramble day and night up and down the road in the woods , fields pastures swamps, hills and bottoms I don't remember when the last time I saw a Bobcat live......but I know there out there cause I see them in the road run over occasionally.

They are out there........... not easy to spot or buy.......If you are having trouble locating one change shopping places or habits....

Period. End of story. Some people such as myself are hunting a dog that trees possums as well as coons and are having a good time pleasure hunting. Some people think if a pup hasn't treed a coon by 10 months old that they are a give away pup. Then they give him away and the man that gets him gets the best dog he EVER owned in his life.
