I take that back I did have a rattler dog that was a lay up type dog, but he never had any coons in his trees so I don't know if that counts.. his name was Grntch Long MTN Hardtack.. man what a treedog he was.. I bred him to a couple real good coondog females and got some nice pups out of him.. one was ceder hill sass. The other was that ole Finley River female, but you see back then we wanted that tree power.. Not to take anything away from tack he looked real good in thick coons but if it was tough he treed way to much. I had another out of Heather and rattler named black Creek Jed that treed coons but was a one drop dog. He could really look good on one drop them he was done. Kind of on the lazy order he had a chop mouth . The real good rattler dogs I hunted with and raised were out of lipper females. That worked real good back then for sure.
Jay,I never got to hunt with Cedar Hill Sass,But My friend Steve Conger owned her and he said she was a coondog!
Steve said 1 night some local guys wanted to see Mack's Little Joe go, so he set up a hunt and when he showed up, he pulled out this female, they said "where is Joe",Steve said,", I just brought this little female". Steve said she put on a coon treeing exhibition!They didn't want anymore, let alone a dose of little Joe!
