First Time Coonhound buyer

[mitch_brown14]

The other night me and a buddy got the idea to buy some coonhounds. Well, we found some on and they come from a female that is bloodhound/curr mix and from a full blooded blue tick. A friend told us that they would be slow becasue of the bloodhound in them. Now im wondering if that would be true being that it has curr and blue tick in it also. Just looking for some more opinions then just one before i count out the dogs im looking at.

ask if you can hunt with the the dogs these pups are out of....

[JagdTerrier]

I second that. If you have the chance to hunt with the dogs the pups are out of you will know what you are going to be dealing with. Hope it works out.

i would also hunt them .. i do a little breading and from my knowledge a blue tick is a little slower learning yet are very committed to there nose as well with the blood hound i cant speak about the plot cause iv never owned one nor hunted one i like both breads and always trust a good tick but love a good walker

im not color blind by any means but i have had the best luck with walkers. get a older dog that knows what he is doing ( buy him under the tree of coarse) and maybe a young started hound.....JMO

hey I coon hunt a lot and currs are not worth the time just my .02 cents
but i hunt blue ticks and they have never let me down and i have hunted with a friend that has only hunted walkers they were good coon dogs but he has a blue tick out of my dogs, ha ha but blood hounds are good cold nosed dogs they will work on coon cuse coons dont norm. run far befor the tree and if they do i have had pups 5 to 7 month old run them up a tree or kill them on the ground plotts are good as well down in texas there is a man that has somme good lines I thank his kennal name is joe plotts well hope it helps
