I have seen where tree size does matter in locating, most of the time when I have had dogs not locating the right tree is when it's a taller tree than usual for our area and there are a lot of trees around, they know it's there but some just don't know which one, the best locators usually know which tree it is, but it can be a bit hard sometimes, just my experience.

Jensen's Dott, Slash's Dame

What is all that on the bottom side of that ped? Is slashes mom an outcross?

Obviously Slash/s dam bit of an outcross? Was Dott hunted & what were her strong & weak points? The outcross blood in Dott has proven to be debatable some of the best blood in the treeing walker breed? How many hounds from the cross that produced Slash have turned out to be good balanced hounds? Surely all are not as good as Slash? In my opinion would be a shame if Slash is not tested to see if he can reproduce. I see some of the same names in Dott/s pedigree has was told to be in the Hawk hound pedigree. Respectful Al

We got two pups from the first cross between Topper again and Dot. Being a true and Blue Blueticker I had my doubts about getting a walker. I'm sure glad I got the one and my buddy got the other one. Very balanced dogs, not mean in any way, handle great and both tree like rock stars. Smart run to catch type dogs with great tree accuracy. I would say medium nosed.
Faults only a few (semi silent until the track heats up good or bad?) Not really that loud but loud enough on the tree (chop bark.) Tender footed compared to my other dogs, conditioning is a must or you will only get 2 or 3 days a week hunting out of them, and they don't handle the cold as well as our other hounds. Would we get another one You bet!

I have a half brother to Slash who went to his first bear tree at 11wks old , ran an treed the first yard lion at 3 months was shown ,he was on a bear on the ground that ended up ledged was a 5 mile walk run an bay up, was in the ledge hole with my 2 best dogs baying the bear my old dog got pounded up an lost his right eye this bear was rough so the pup has stick an grit this pup will rig a hot bear track, hard tree dog handles with out a leash an smoked the first bobcat he was on an caught the second he is not a year old!! So far i believe he has some potential

These three dogs are littermates to Doty. The red head one was the first cross of Wille and Fanny the other two was from second litter which was Doty litter. They where tree on a bear. The black back dog had been swatted by the bear. there is blood running down her leg. I own the Tucker and Foxy dog.They like bear better then cats that how I ended up with. Dennis Cochrane is my uncle. I hunted with Fanny and Wille on bear in Wis and cats in Montana. Fanny was a good bear and cat dog, Wille was more of a cat dog. There was two litters out of that cross. Red head dog i like so good on bear I talk Dennis into make cross again. Faults with cross was if you didn't feed them you didn't catch them. They were running and treeing at 10 months old on bear and they didn't take much to get going. Scott

Thanks Kirk

I am interested in a bobcat pup out of slash.

Here are 2 Slash pups. Their 19 months old. Great well balanced natural tree dogs. I got Zero at 10 months old, and like him so much I got his litter mate sister just a month ago and she is making leaps and strides. These 2 young dogs are a medium to cold nosed, that have great track speed and can really move a track in snow, bare ground and the rain. Zero has consistanlly stuck, trailed and treed his own lions on his own this winter. I can't not wear this dog out! His litter mate Lucky is following in the same direction as Zero, but just hasn't been exposed as much.

Just thought I'd shear.
