Above pics are of my Female and below are my male
Both pups are doing real good tracking. They aren't super agressive on game once they see or get a hold of it just yet...Still kind of immature and acting like puppies when they see game. They also don't just fire like crazy on caged game yet. They are still just 9 months old and I'm not worried about their reaction to caged game yet. I've seen good dogs not really fire till they were over a year old...We'll see. BTW they also don't see much caged game....maybe only seen 2 or 3 times max. I'm not a big fan of showing pups a bunch of caged critters
They are however the tracking est SOBs i've ever started. They love to trail and move a track and they are doing good at it. I'm impressed by their ability to do just that. So far when a track ends in a tree they will tree but they don't stand on the tree and try to eat the trunk. They stand back, bawling at the tree....Not too much chop in their mouth!
They get around in the woods great and have no problems with their feet or anything as of yet. They are doing good around horses, mules, etc and have yet to try to run a deer even though they've seen a few. My hopes for them now would be that they get fired up a bit on game that they can see and get more aggressive on it. I don't want a dog that will tear into anything it sees as that gets hounds killed but I hope they do get more agressive.
So far I'm liking them...Still too early to tell too much about them...I need to get a camera out with me in the woods more as they are working. Seems I'm usually chasing them around and unable to shoot many pics but I'll get on it! Pics of dogs in the yard get old...not my style
