I have water raced My dogs for over 40 years . I have never seen any bad effects on any of My dogs ever !! I have seen lots of positive effects however. I can honestly say some of My very best water race dogs were also My very best Coon dogs !!! Many people who know Me will tell You about My Lipper ll , I think he is still the only grand water ch sired by ole Houses Lipper, or My Magic dog ,only grand water champion sired by Beaver Lake Magic ! Theese dogs were Coondogs !! I will not be told that I foolishly spent money on entry fees. I loved theese dogs , others like ,Lena,Gracie,Cindy,Repac,Dancer ,Evinrude,Joe,Jewell,Annie,Dove.Crackshot,Dark Abbey, and My current water champ Ole Blue ( yea a bluetick ,sired by Jaggs,and a coondog ). If anyone does not like this sport ,that's fine. But don't bad mouth it or, field trials, or bench shows. Don't say nobody would care about theese titles either because I care and like it or not My opinion is just as valuable as Yours.Anyway back to original question,of course you can water race same dog you comp. hunt. You can also enter field trials and bench shows.When you make multiple grand Ch. You will have something to really be proud of !!!one thing I will say, in case You don't know,its rare but sometimes a very good coondog won't bark at a caged coon ,don't try to force it to !!! In this case the field trials and water races are out.Good Luck !!!
