What an interesting number of differing opinions. For me it is pretty simple.
Any dog that shows unnecessary aggression so as to have the tree all to themselves, is in my opinion, mean and should not be entered, and (if entered) should be scratched.
Any dog that exhibits aggression in order to stay treed with the above mentioned dog, should not be scratched, and should be allowed to continue until said dog exhibits undue aggression with any other dog in said cast. After undue aggression has been identified any/all dogs should then be scratched.
Now determining which dog crossed that said line of undue aggression, is most times very hard to identify.
But for someone to type on a post that they want theirs to be the last dog standing when the fight breaks out, is a pretty true reflection of the mentality of that owner/handler. That person respects very few (if any) opponents in their travels, and their dog is a cut of the same cloth so to speak.
Without respect for our common man and beast, we have very little left to be proud of. So if that is your game, own it proudly, just don't expect the general public to be knocking your door down to breed to your dog or hunt something out of it.
Let me say this, I too want my dog to stay on any tree so long as it can do so without receiving a (SERIOUS) injury. But there are some dogs being hunted that are truly nasty and would rather fight another dog than fight the coon they were bred to tree. If you hunt that style dog, don't cry when you do get scratched. If your dog will tree Politely until something else grabs it, then this post is not directed toward you. Now lets just see where you and your style dog fits into this equation. Good Hunting to all and the best of luck to all this coming weekend!!!
