Gidday Michael,

Your Coons are alot bigger than our Possoms, I'd say the biggest might make nine or ten pounds, but that would be a big one. They are a real pest here in NZ, there is an estimated 70 million although I think those figures maybe a little inflated to help the fact that the conservation department wants to 1080 the hell out of the place
Do your dogs kill many coons on the ground, possoms are quite tough but not that difficult to kill for a reasonable sized dog?
So is that Coonhound in the photo what you call a Black and Tan?
Cheers Lurcher, NZ.

no lurcher, these two below are black and tan hounds.

that poor thing at that time was a kennel dog. after a couple months of excercise it finally looks like a hound. you should see a pic today it doesnt even look like the same dog.
