But they are Ty's dogs. Hope you are not trying to alienate their affections. :wink: :)

Well they're Dad's dogs when it's time to buy dog food lol. It was late so we put them in the barn last night-I heard a commotion at 4'00 this A'M and went out Ruby had jumped over a 6 foot wall and was chasing cats around the barn lol. Were at almost 20 hours of daylight up here right now-still light at 11'00 and already light at 4'00.

Skookum is six months old-his Daddy is a big dog 110 pounds in hunting shape-he's won three trials in Montana and two in Alberta with him for what that's worth lol. I can't belive how strong they are for their size.

They look extremely nice and very well cared for.

Now how will you keep them? Will they be kennelled or do
you just let them run loose? (which I can't imagine since they
are hounds).

They're tie broke-Ty will take them out for a run everyday-he's got hockey camps to train for so probably will rollerblade behind them. Going to be training them too so will get lots of running.

Ruby looks more like what the blue tics I've seen, look like. She is a pretty dog...........


Sookum looks more Walker than blue tic, to me.

Will they have pups together sometime?

:cboy:

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.

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.
