EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

I went to see some blue ticks pups yesterday and the mother had 13 pups , 5 were all brown and the others were the blue tick. Has anyone every see that before??? I didn't know that they could have brown one.

 Ive never heard of brown but there is a redtick.

John,

It is possible for a purple ribbon bluetick (UCK registered for at least 3 generations) to produce a liver colored pup.  However, they are still white background with liver patches.  If the pups were solid brown, she was caught by something other than a bluetick.  It is completely possible that there are some pure pups in the litter, while others have a different sire.  That being said, if it was me, I would elect to pass on that litter.  If you need more info on the bluetick breed, please contact me.  I am happy to provide you any info that I have on the breed.  I am the Florida rep for the BBCHA (Bluetick Breeders and Coon Hunters Association).

Regards,
Josh

The man said that they are UCK registered , but I am with you I didn't think they were full blue ticks. I did get 2 pups , they are red brown with long ears , 9 weeks old . I only gave $50 each. They look like they may make a good hound??? I just wanted to try them ( I didn't get any papers) . The papers will not make them hunt any better, but don't think it is right to try to pass off a dog like that. Thanks.

I'm going to come off like a smart tail even though that is not my intentions, but do you feel if I bred these blueticks to labs, the pups would come out with short ears?

I don't run hounds I don't have the property but I love too look at dogs like that dang

I think the pups that I got may have some red bone hound in them, that is what they look like and sound like . You do have some very nice looking hounds there. And I don't know about the lab thing?? I just didn't know if they could have a through back t some blue ticks??

Cutter bay when you gonna have sum pups on the ground??????   ;D

Got a litter now.  Deposits have been received, and litter is booked.  Good, fat, little 10 day old suckers at this point.   8)

Hey cutter, what did you do, tie weights to their ears when they were pups! Just kiddin, those r some good looking dogs. I'm a sucker for a good looking bluetick.

Google bluetick coonhound and Click on images up top and see what other colors pop up...

Some of those are not pure blueticks.  Keep that in mind.   ;)

Look at how long the ears are and the tail come over there back. The mother was a blue tick. Just because they are not full blooded does not mean they want hunt later.

Im gonna go out on a limb here, and say, there aint no way thems full blue ticks.  Look like 1/2 cur to me

there tail goes over their backs like a scharpe?

I am not an expert on BLUETICKS, but I have seen my fare share. I have seen bluticks have bluetick and redtick pups in the same batch, and it was a throw back to several generations , but I have never in my 44 years seen bluetick pups look like those. I think it would be safe to say the mom , or sombodies mom like to slip out late at night....

You all are right . All I know the the mother was a blue tick.
