Rex there's a few still breeding for coondogs that can getter done , then you have puppy mills just breed anything and take the money,that's where a lot of these slick treeing idiots come from .

Good mornin' gents was 16 when I got up but 14 now,temps are headed the same direction as this weather. Seems ta me they don't breed hounds like the ones I grew up w/ when I was a pup,maybe it's just me.

A lot of dogs now would be minused out on 3 hour hunts. Sometimes several would be now if called correctly. 3-8 inches of snow coming north of i-70. Nice pics Rex thanks. Thinking about taking Moo to Mud Road derby field trial against grey hounds. Wife and Andy says I lost my mind. He will come treeing so you can never count him out. Think I am going to make a phone call to see if they will let me run without a muzzle, He doesn't need one and has never wore one.
Here is to good dogs, fun women that hunt, and easy sex!! Laugh and be happy. Jeff

Have to run with a muzzle and race is moved back farther to 3-21and 3-22 of 2015.
That old hound needs hotter weather to compete, Cold weather you get a lot of fight barks from Greys. that they count for tree barks.
It is always a good time there. All he would have to do is Chase and come treeing when he gets there. Odds are he would be far enough back from track fighting, never can tell. There is no tracking on these anymore here 3/4 mile or less flat out run. There is a big diference between a 26 mile a hour hound and a 38-40 mile a hour Greyhound.
