I grew up in Wisconsin and migrated west after retiring TJ and Brandy.
What was the best red dog you ever seen go and what was his or her style.
Thanks Larry
My favorite dog to hunt that I owned was TJ. I just enjoyed listening to his big mouth on track and his big locate and hard loud chop treeing style. I can't say he was any better than Brandy II as a competition dog though. I hunted them together for 3-4 years and they both got their shares of trees. He was a better strike dog and she was a better layup dog. TJ was a fast deep hunter and the older he got the deeper he went. When he was 7-8 years old I would turn him loose on the farm with a pup and go eat some dinner with the tracking receiver on the table. They had to run about 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile to the edge of the woods. When the tree switch went off I would drive out to get them on the tree. I rarely ever went to a tree where he didn't have the coon.
Brandy was a more thorough hunter and was a louder tree dog and treed harder on average. She could really rattle them off and I got a lot of complements on what a hard tree dog she was. Brandy could find coon that had been in the tree for a long time that other dogs literally couldn't smell. I saw her work up a layup one night against 3 Purina Point Walker dogs that she completely shut out on track and tree right in front of us.
That Annabelle dog I owned was about as good of a competition dog as I owned when she was at her peak , but she was harder to handle. She beat TJ in a qualifying hunt when she was 5 and he was 3. That was the first time I hunted with TJ and Bill Wallock. She was a really fast hunter with a quick locate and when she was clicking I'd put her up against any dog. She didn't have the big mouths that Brandy and TJ had and she wasn't the tree dog these two were, but she was fast like many Woodpecker dogs were and very smart. I was in college when she hit her peak and she wasn't hunted in many hunts because of that. She had 3 wins toward Gr.NtCh. and came close to winning Redbone Days in 86 by winning against tough competition including the Purina Coonhound of the Year that year, Davis Nite Heat.
Another dog I hunted with twice that I really liked was Smokey Mountain Brandy owned by my friend Alger Morgan. Big mouth , hard hunting , track driving , smart, big locate , loud , stay put tree dog. I liked big built male dogs and he was 75-85 pounds. He won a load of hunts in his prime and beat me one night at Autumn Oaks.
I'd say the above dogs were capable of winning any hunt against any dog. They all made it to the finals of a World Hunt and placed high except my Annabelle female who was never entered in one.
I had a male out of TJ x Gr Nt Ch Gr Ch Billy Jo(littermate to Keys Outlaw Jessie) that was built like TJ and was a deep hunter when he was at his peak. He was a fun dog to hunt with and had that big Timber Chopper bawl on track and loud locate and hard chop on tree. He weighed about 80-85# in the winter. Great looking dog. I called him Timber Jack Jr., but I got out of competition hunting when he was a year old. He could have made Gr Nt Ch easily and its a shame he didn't.
Another dog I owned until he was a little over a year old was Gr.Nt.Ch. Too the Maxx, who was out of TJ and Gr.NtCh Jenkins Crying Katie. He may have been small but he was big in the woods with a great mouth and was a fast split tree artist. He and my Shock dog were the most natural coondogs I've ever trained. Max was running and treeing with his daddy TJ at 3 months of age. Butch Roeder told me he was one of the most natural young dogs he ever hunted with.
Shock was driving tracks and treeing his own coon at 5 months of age. He was all business and was naturally straight his entire life. He was a littermate to Nt.Ch. Craft's Outlaw Jack and a full brother to Gr.Nt.Ch. Keys Outlaw Moon, and Gr.Nt.Ch. Outlaw Timber Girl. He went to a buddy of mine at 2 years of age after I moved to Idaho. He was only put in a few hunts including Redbone Days where he won his cast the first two nights and was up for overall winner going into the final night. He was definitely GrNtCh. worthy as well. Crafts Outlaw Jack died with 4 wins to Gr. Nt.Ch. so there was a cross (TJ x Jessie) that really should have had 4 Gr.Nt.Ch. in it.
