[bluedogs]

what are you wanting to run with your dog?? and were at in the vally are you.

[johnbluedogs]

cat mainly but i rember him my dad saying that you should start them on coon

[twist]

It sure wouldnt hurt to play with coon a little and it extends your hunting season but I have always had a few of my bobcat dogs that have never seen a coon and they are top end bobcat dogs so it goes to show they can be just strictly cat dogs. But if a person wants to play with coon it sure dont hurt.

I'm new to this as well, but I think legally here in Oregon we can't run coon or cats until September 1 now (but I could be wrong). So I think I would order a good cat and or coon scent or two and start making drags.

I'd start laying some drags for em' the better they get run the drags a little farther then by the time your training season comes you could start getting them on some coons.
