We have a lost dog in our kennel and I assume she is a bluetick. But I started wondering...is there a way to tell an English bluetick from a Bluetick bluetick????

People accuse me of being color blind. The truth is I will hunt red ones, blue ones, black and white ones, yellow ones, black and tan ones, or even brindle ones; Just as long as they are English!

Well, for starters..they were all called English hounds until the early 1940's. People started forking off by color. This is why Blueticks vary so much in color, from almost white to black. Alot of brown blueticks are born too.

As for being able to tell weather it was born as an English dog, or a registered bluetick...there simply isn't a way to tell because again, they're really the same hound so there's nothing physical that would tell the two apart. Exhaustive genetic testing and linking to dogs in the DNA profiled group "might" be possible, but you'd spend alot of time and money on bloodwork and a geneticist comparing thousands of DNA profiles...and I'm not even sure the UKC has that available to the public.

All in all, I'd just refer to it as a bluetick because thats apparently it's color scheme. Not knowing where it's blood comes from, I wouldn't recommend breeding. I'm pretty sure you can single regsiter this dog if you wanted to compete in Nite Hunts.

Thank you for the information. I'm just trying to find this dog's home. I thought maybe I'm calling her a bluetick and she's really an english. We're not keeping her anyway. If we can't find her owner by the time she goes out of heat, we will find her a good home somewhere. Thanks again for clearing that up.
