Figured this would go good in this discussion. Everyone please feel free to share what you take form this video.
that is an awesome video Goose87...thanks for sharing...the first time I read that mans theory on unborn pups back in the early 80's I thought he was full of poop when I first started reading...but soon after I started to believe in his thought process...it was mainly what if's and why not's...because of that I started feeding 6 week old pups a raw wild hog head and would do that two or 3 times in a 3 week period...I made sure they were hungry before I let them have it because I wanted them to really want it...I also thought it was positive mental imprinting that would work in my favor...no science just theory...
getting back to what the man was saying...he said since the unborn pups are connected to the mother what she eats can stimulate the pups because of the connection...what she hunts and barks at they can be picking up on that too especially when they are fully formed and close to delivery...he was saying when she is trailing a coon the scent goes up in the nostrils and she has different reactions taking place and adrenalin is pumping as she nears on the coon and her excitement level increases as she is about to catch the coon on the ground and the smell and the taste of blood could affect how the pups will eventually react to a coon once they are born...they could be born to be natural coon dogs...the reasoning...because they are being imprinted positively with the smells/adrenaline/environment which are creating positive chemical reactions and this process makes a difference in the pups as hunting dogs...
I will add this as well...when one smokes we inhale into our lungs...the nicotine and other components are then carried throughout our bodies and we feel the effects...sure there will be many nay sayers...but I do believe...it could be the difference between breeding natural coon dogs...or, having to work the pups so they can make coon dogs...
I initially posted on this subject here on account of something unusual I witnessed at my house...I knew it was kind of far fetched about this subject for most but with what happened I thought it would carry some weight...
We were having a birthday party for my grandson when he was about 5 or 6 years old...They invited some friends and cousins from the son-in-laws side...this little boy about 4 years old was over and it wasn't long when my grandson and friends came in and said...grandpa, Kaleb is eating the little red peppers from your pepper plant...I said no he is not and Kaleb goes yes I am...I thought...maybe he is swallowing the peppers...so I said go get some peppers and show me...well he was back in a few minutes with 7 or 8 peppers in his mouth and he was chewing them up and then he opened his mouth and I saw red pigment on his tongue and crushed pepper and seeds all up in his mouth and it appeared as if he were eating candy...I said no more peppers on account I was worried for the little boy...these were hot peppers and if one ate to many you would get a serious stomach ache...I couldn't wait for his mama to show up...when she did I inquired and she said yep...he eats peppers like candy...I asked when did you find out? and she says when he was around 2 years old...she said they had a bowl of peppers on the table and he reached from his high chair and grabbed one and started eating it...been eating peppers ever since...Then she says when she was pregnant with him she craved peppers and ate them the duration of her pregnancy...I had already developed many theories about pregnancy and environment, foods, and smells...and this was 1 data point that hit like a ton of bricks...
