Got Our Hounds!!!

[Mrs.Greg]

Thanks N.R they're nice looking dogs,Gregs wondering what your intending to track with them?

[Oldtimer]

NR- Am I glad its you that has those hounds and not me...

I had hounds years ago and used them hunting coyotes -- and they do work good when you're using them- really can sound off when they're on a track or have one holed up...I had two older ones and a pup-- only problem I had with them with hunting was keeping the pup from taking off on a deer, antelope, or elk trail....

But the problem arose when you weren't using them...They had to be kept tied up or they'd take off hunting on their own- all they'd do is lay around and eat, sleep, and sh*t all day and howl and bay at the coyotes all night...And those skinny old devils can about eat you out of house and home...

Finally after a couple years I traded them off....

My oldest kids first sentence , while standing at the screen door, was "blackie hush up". Blackie was kind of a back and tan /walker kind of deal.

My son told one of his classmates in Sunday School one day that he shouldn't tell people to "shut up"; only dogs.

It can't be anyworse than when the Pyr decides to come in close to the house and bark its head off at 3am when you are sound asleep.... Oh, and of course my lovely, beautful, kind and understanding wife decided that we needed a couple more so now the old dog goes off and the two anatolian pups join in... Enough to make you shoot out of bed like a dart until your relize the dogs are barking at a semi 3 miles away.

Aww my pyrenees barked at yotes all night long-it takes alot to get me P'O'ed at a dog lol. Here's a better pic of 'Skookum'. Were going to use them mostly retrieving wounded stuff for outfitters.

I like listening to beagles...I had two and you could tell what the were trailing by the pitch of there baying...... They were the best dogs....
Northern Rancher, you're dogs are really nice.....Keep us updated on their success........

Here's 'Ruby' I can't bel;ieve how strong she is for her size. Don't worry naysayers don't fizz much on me.

Ahh, this old Pyr is a good dog... She got hit by a car before we got and we took her in to be a yard guard dog for my wife's poultry.. She does a real good job and protects any bottle babies we have too. The little pups are only 10 weeks old or so (1 week younger than my son so I should do the math) and their bark isn't too bad as long as the windows are closed. When they go off and the windows are open it is a sound, gets the Kelpies going usually too.. Our old senior dogs just lift their heads up and yawn... Nothing much gets them going at 2 am.

I love my dogs..... Nothing much better than them to be honest... Always thought about a hound when I was growing up but I think that will have to wait.. Too many dogs.

Hey Nr ruby is about the same color as my brother Garths hounds one is quite dark and the other is a bit lighter than her. He has 2 males and there names are Starsky and Hutch He uses them for Hunting training them on racoons and such .They are hilarious because they are still quite gangly pups. But he's strick with them they are only aloud to sound when hunting .

HMW, never raised BlueTicks...but my mom raised for YEARS and YEARS black & tan coon hounds!!

To be honest if I don't hear hounds somewhere.....something is missing!!!

I begin to wonder ' what's wrong"!!!
