Thanks. These pups are just a hair over 7 months old. Still a lot of water to go under the bridge, they are still in the puppy starting pen. But I am well pleased with the progress up to this point.
They are the product of a heavy line bred female being crossed on a heavy line bred male, two different lines of dogs with similar traits crossed in the hopes of combining the two lines traits to bring in a LITTLE genetic diversity.
This is a littermate to Nine, she is about three weeks behind her sister in the training pen. Both are treeing some complicated drags by scent. I'm a bright enough guy to know that doesn't make them coondogs yet....but it's a promising start.
This is a little female out of Bear that I picked up this fall. My good friend and dog man supreme had her in northern Ohio for the month of December. She treed coon in style over there when other dogs were struggling. She's gonna be a good one. She is bred a lot like my dogs on the bottom side, and is a litter mate to the one that Daniel is hunting.
I am fortunate enough to live close to Daniel, and have hunted with several Bear pups and like what I've seen out of him from several different females..... That prompted me to make an outcross...
