I figured that much!:) I had asked a competition coonhunter while he was hog hunting with me why the Red Tick, his dog of choice, instead of the bluetick. His answer was that the Bluetick is a colder nosed dog but slow and more of a pleasure dog and the Red Tick was much better for competition hunting. Now I dont know what makes a great competition dog, but I would like to learn. As for the the Treeing Walker, I am told that it possess all the traits at a better precentage of turn out to make dogs in a litter. Just repeating what I was told, not my opinion.

Don't always believe what you hear. However, if you know any redtickers that would like to match race against some slow blueticks, I would be happy to let them test their words.
