Who has working dogs?

[Admin]

It's been several years now since I've hunted over a dog. I used to have a Black Lab that was a real crackerjack and a pleasure to be with. After she passed I never trained another hunting dog. This border collie I have is smart as a whip and could be trained for anything and I've thought about possibly hunting birds with him. How many of you have working dogs? Be it hunting dogs or working livestock. What's on your leash?

Well, I dont wanna say that Emma, my Bloodhound is a WORKING dog, cause I aint seen her do nothing but eat, sleep, poop and fall over her own ears, but I think she's got potential to be a good coondog. We used to raise beagles when I was younger, but space ran out and dad got bored of it.

I'm thinking about getting a Jack Russell pretty quick. Buddy of mine uses em for ridding the rats around his feedbarns and running rabbits as well. They're a hoot to watch get after a coon in a junkpile!

I trained and hunted Maggie, my golden retriever. Great dog. She died in 2001. Since then I haven't had the time, or maybe I didn't want to make the time to train another. Someday.

My buddy and I on here kris (coonhunter87) back in december got ourselve to pups they are brothers for coon hunting they are BMC black mouth curs. If any one is looking at a getting a truely amazing dog I would recomend checking these dogs out. They are great house dogs and very smart and easy to train. They are silent on the track and then open up at the tree. They dont bark all day long like a hound so if you live in town or somthing like that. They are 6 months old right now and we have been running them on live coon they are starting to get the hang of it. Not allot of people have herd of them they are great cattle working dogs also and are used allot in the south on hogs. Well here are some pics of them Duke is my pup in camo collar and Tucker is coonhunter87s pup in the black collar.










Hopy you enjoy!

This was my pup, her name Shelby. She was just over 16 years old when she passed to the happy grouse lands. About the only thing I had to teach here was dont eat the veggies in the garden.


Shelby was my camping partner, both winter and summer.
