Stupid Folk, and Mislabeled Dogs

Alright so I thought I share this new breed Ive been seeing around. A lady who walks her dogs at a local park that I hunt for coyote, claims to own a redtick/bluetick cross.
This Lady cracked me up! She said, with a straight face that her dog was half bluetick and half redtick. From what I understand those are basically the same breed, "English".
BTW, the dog looked like an Australian cattle dog that was wayyy over fed!
She then asked me what kinda hound I had, and when I replied with Bluetick, she then had the nerve to reply with "Oh Really? what is he mixed with?" She almost died. She then went on to ask if i bought him in Georgia or Tennessesse cause she was from Georgia and had only seen blueticks there.
There is also a Lady who lives near the park who claims to have a Half-rottweiler and half-bluetick but looks also like an over-fed cattle dog.

So Im going to petition the UKC to induct a new breed into its registy, called the "Junk Hound", which basically includes dogs that have ticked coloring, and are over weight, lol.

Sorry bout the rant, just thought I share my local experiences with ya'll for a laugh, I'll work on getting pics, its really something, lol.

plott, i know, lol, I know the bluetick breed split off from the english in the 40's I believe. But thats not the point, the point is that if you had seem this dog it looked nothing like a hound, no ears, no gait, no nose, no face, no loose skin, no short hair, just a really fat cattle dog! lol

it was probably a blue heeler that she made the mistake that it was a bluetick.

Moonshiner, Don't you know that hunting in parks around here is illiegel, plus your not allowed to frecast a dog during April thru July, You shoud be careful, we houndsmen already have a bad image in Oregon. A kid getting pinched for hunting in a park with a hound would make the news for sure. The anti's would have a field day with that story. Not trying to bash on ya, Just trying to educate ya. Good luck with your dog.

Don't be careful, moonshiner, quit hunting at freaking dog parks. Those are collies, not coyotes.
