So I got this Blue Tick puppy a while back more as a "pet" for my girl than anything else. Sure...I figured I would train him up and hunt him occasionally but I didn't have any great expectations. I have never owned a full blooded hound, I had a Catahoula x Walker cross once and she would bawl but I got her under control around the house. Now I live on a few acres so I don't care as much and this little "Preacher" pup, coming up on 4 months old.......he has got a bawl already that is something else. I'm about to go to work on him and get him started. I believe....at this point ......I am actually looking forward to the first time I get him out in the woods.  |

Why breed a hound that is tree happy like that ? She just most Likely go an produce more tree happy dogs ,
What happens alot is the coon taps the tree an the dog doesn't check it out good an just goes to treeing or the dog gets tired of trying to work the track out an trees
I seen alot of coon dogs
When she goes to slick treeing next time go get her drag her off tree an give her a firm boot in the butt an tell her to get to it , she prolly just being lazy or doesn't know that the coon taps trees an keep going

Yup they will go up a few foot an jump off an do all kinds of other sneaky stuff
Go up trees by barns an stuff get on top of barn run across top an go down other side
If the dog don't check around the tree to see if they jumped out you will not be seen some of the smart coons

Haelee, explain the part about messing her up with a caged coon. What do you not want to do with a caged coon? Swamp Hunter, feel free to explain also. I'm curious and wouldn't want to make the same mistake. |

before hog hunting i was a prety big time coon hunter(js walker dog are the best at it) but anyway as a pup ppl will get a caged coon and raise it up on a tree to get the pup to tree... (thats where most ppl mess up) treeing is natural to a (tree dog) yes its okay to do it once or twice when they are about 3 or 4 months but after that jus work caged coons for about a good month straight(thats taking the coon turning it loose let him tree it, shoot it out then do another drag to a tree and wait till he comes treed again then wait a lil longer to walk to the tree then before). when he reaches about 7 or 8 months take him to a pond with a caged coon . turn that coon loose in the water . turn your dog loose . after he fights the coon in the water i promise he is going to be coon crazy the rest of his life . now once he puts 2&2 together .. trail to tree from workin the cage coons ... its all woods time from there .. and and as a pup be sure to tie him up TO EVERY SINGLE TREE HE MAKES (unless slick treed) it will help him learn to stay treed no matter how long it might take u to get to him .. i wish i still had ole hammerhead to invite anyone on this site to go hunting . he was one of a kind .. first track he picked up .. was the track he was taking straight to the tree.. might be a mile away but buddy i could put 1000 dollars we would see a ringtail EVERYTIME ! |

Dang pup won't shut up!!!! Lol
He's about four months now. I had him in a pen with my bulldog pup about the same age, he would bawl....seemed like he was bawling at a 7 month old gyp I had next pen over....so I moved him in with her.
That solved the issue for a while but last couple of days he's been grating on my nerves!!!
My Jasper pup use to bark excessively when he was in a pen so I just let him out and let him run free in the dog yard with my CD....problem solved.
Preacher is a lot smaller than Jasper and Zeuse but I threw him out in the yard today...see if that settles him down too.
Dang Hound

Ahhh....never been one to use a bark/Shock collar....feel like they beat me then, lol. I usually get things under control one way or another.
He was in the big yard all day, guess he ran his hound out. He's been quiet for a few hours now. May just have to let him out a few hours a day.

The pups that will be raised out of her wont be full hounds and if they are like her then i wont keep none most of the hounds like shes bred comes out tree happy and all they did was work her on a caged coon never let her run it or anything half the time she trees it could be a sapling and she will lock on to it and will stay there for hours |
