Making it
With the access to studs and information today at the click of a button, I believe a lot of the pups being produced has blood good enough to get a coon treed. Now whether or not they hunt or tree the coon in a style that your looking for is a different story. I'm not saying every puppy will make a coon treer. But you've heard of pups treeing a coon the first time taken to the woods. That's bred into it. And more than likely that owner will put more time into a pup like that. On the other hand you take a pup that just goes with dogs for awhile, eventually opens on some tracks, at the tree..etc. And that pup more than likely isn't going to get the exposure, hunting time, as the early starter. What I'm trying to say is that I believe blood has a lot to do with it. But without giving a pup woods time it will never reach its potential. Regardless of blood. Most of us try the best we can but,myself included, don't put enough boot leather behind these pups. We expect them to know it all from the start because of their "blood". You see a top dog, good chance theirs a lot of long nights and long walks in that dogs past. Boot leather and understanding what a pup needs is just as valuable as what blood is pumping through its veins, without it, you just end up with a dog out back. Which sadly, happens a lot.
