She didnt pick the best tree for hiding did she?

Ok here's a more current shot of the one we thought was a bluetick mix. His daddy was a black lab though. He does get up on our tree though with our redtick (mostly after squirrels because we live in the city, though we have tons of coons in the neighborhood.) I have to get a more current shot of ...

Turns out the blueticks daddy was a lab, momma was a bluetick. He's really good at treeing ducks.

Going to have to post a few more pictures later. He's turning into a pretty nice looking dog and just recently found his baying voice. He's only treed a squirrel though.

cherry eye is a genetic condition. The surgery is very minor, and really only cosmetic. Cherry eye is not a problem for the dog--just hideous to look at. Its pretty common in hounds. Ask your vet about price, and if he wants to charge over $50, shop around and find a more reasonable vet.

Thanks ...

I sure do not know of a quick remedy but------ beware of the money vets-- they will want to put it to sleep and charge big $$$ for that-- most good vets will apply a solution to deaden the feeling,put a hemostat on it and clip it out,, then they apply some terimacin ointment and send a little tube ...

Yeah figured that out in the mean time. Anyone have any luck with eye lubricant and massaging it back down? Otherwise going to have to go the surgery route.

Gotta call the vet in the morning, not sure how he did this, maybe scratched it wrestling.

He's staying steady in growth with the black one. They're both about 35 lbs right now, up from 15 when those pics were shot.

There are so many coons in Indiana that you just need to put a half decent dog with some treeing bloodlines anywhere near woods and water and the dog will teach you. You just need to teach it that deer are bad. We shot ten to twenty every night out with lots of den trees. They should call it ...

I suggest starting top to bottom in each of the forum groups (big game with dogs, bears, lions, etc.) look for threads about training and history all of that kinda stuff you will learn a lot quick, but none if it will stick unless you get out an try it for yourself :) nice to have you on the cite ...

I joined this forum to see about a dog breed ID, but I find myself fascinated with the posts about hunting dogs. I'm interested in learning more, so, aside from this forum, where would you suggest an absolute beginner start to learn more about this sport? (Is that the right word for it? I apologize ...
