    Pup is coming along. It’s been warm for our area this winter so the coon really aren’t denned up, been a lot of 1 & 2 coon days with us getting into a bunch (7) one day. Cold spell is coming however so hopefully we can get some work in middle of next week

    The guy was pretty old 5 or so years ago. He had some that were pure bred (I think) he was using as decoy dogs for coyotes, but the dogs kept just killing the coyotes instead of bringing them back. He had some he bred down with terriers (if I recall correctly) and was using to go to ground. Old governement trapper specializing in wolves.

    Last really good ones I’ve heard about were in South Dakota, USA. Not sure if the guy is still around. Can do some diggin if you’re interested

    Beagle pups we start on rabbits we just get them around rabbits. I don’t know what it’s like where you are but we have some good county parks that are mowed with wooded edges, early mornings the rabbits will be right on the edge there. Take the pup out and let him see them, then smell them. Every day you can just keep on it. They’ll figure it out quicker than you think. Lots of praise and make it fun.

    I’m talking with a friend with dogs. Might bring a few.

    Just found a lady interested in getting rid of some rats. The pup is 8 months and done nothing but obidience with him, general consensus on if it’s too soon to introduce him to a yard of rats?

    Wish it could send you some of ours. Rivers finally clear enough to fish and we have two days of rain forecasted. That being said a lot of game around. Few Fox I’ve seen with mange, but I have at least two more confirmed healthy (for now) near by. Plenty of raccoon and just found some real spots for ground hogs. Pup should be able to get some time in over the winter in barns and we will see how spring is for putting him in earth

    That’s the info I have on them with regards to breeding. I was gonna wait for his next litter after the one referenced here (an accidental breeding) but jumped at this one after seeing the sire hunt.

    Can’t get him to stand decent for a pic to save me. Just over 8 months

    I stole it. Don’t want people to give me credit for something I didn’t think of. Can’t remember where or when I saw it however

    A man’s ego is a heavy burden for a dog.

    Why not just get dogs from guys over here? To hell with the PED. Go out with guys and hunt, if you like their stuff get a dog. If the dog turns out great, if not so be it. I knew no one with dogs. Called a random guy near me and he took me out. Showed me his dogs. Explained their faults and what he liked. Explained why he bred what he did. Couldn’t ask for more. Since I’ve met a few other guys who have been nothing but help. Just work your dogs. If you do that the rest will fall into place

    Ours stay in the house due to neighbors. Especially with terriers I would think the last thing you need is someone spotting them after hunting. That, combined with a string of stolen dogs in our area and it’s not worth the risk of leaving them out. Plus having two hounds that basically sleep all day helps. That being said me and my fiancé are constantly looking for land in the country where we could have a kennel. We don’t mind the dogs but occasionally they’re annoying. I do think there is something to be said for having more of a connection between oneself and the dogs if you sp

    MN. Biggest ones I see (in my opinion) are late summer/fall/early winter. Fat and great pelt. Seems like all the ones trapped and hunted then are big. That’s not to say that the tail end of winter they are all small but I find more small ones then IMO. Who knows, getting this terrier thing going I might change my tune. Could be just the ones we stumble across later in the winter with the beagles aren’t the best or brightest. The 6 or so I got with terriers last year were 20 lbs or so I’d say on average however

    I’ll show you a pic of the coon we get in late February/early March around here that aren’t eating high on the hog. You get ones that are in the corn bins or eating some farmers cat food in the barn and they do well but there are a decent amount that turn all yellow and look deflated almost

    I guess there are a lot of variables and to be clear this is a massive coon IMO. But frequently they loose a bit over the winter due to inactivity, lack of food, and trying to stay warm. Obviously this depends on where you are. In the south this probably doesn’t matter and applies more towards the northern coon where it gets colder. Also, I don’t know exactly how much they lose, but by the end of the season up here they look pretty tough sometimes.
  18. Yankeeterrier
    Holy crap! Good time of year for them however. Plenty of food and no real struggle to stay warm. I know they lean out a lot up north in the winter

    David I don’t know the breedings of these but from what I know they were heavy Nuttal if I were to venture a guess

    That’s basically what happened however I do feel setting played a role as well, this I think because when he’s met the friends dogs he’s had no issue. With them he goes in, sniffs, and they’re done really. This situation (with regards to this post) worked out great IMO because while my dog got worked up the other was bored basically. It didn’t pay much mind to the little dog barking at it chest all puffed out

    I assume the little guy reacted as he did because he was startled. He gets taken out to parks etc multiple days of the week and loves people. I’m just sort of realizing he hasn’t interacted much with dogs except for those we own and a friends. Going to have make a bit more of a point to do so

    My pup gets along great with my dogs, but as we found out today he’s protective of me when encountering another dog that’s not expected. So, how much do you all get your dogs around other dogs? I know us yanks do things a bit different with barn hunting and using two dogs at once with some regularity so I just want my dog to be ok with others
  23. Yankeeterrier
    So I take my pup (just over 5 months) for a leashed walk around town once a day and 3-5 days take him out and about off leash in the woods. I’ve avoided one opossum with the pup so far but have been walking him near brush piles and blow downs. Should I avoid them for the time being? I’m trying to get him out and about but don’t wanna rush him

    Guy I hunt with ONLY barn hunts and will let me use his anytime I want. Gotta get this pups teeth set before I consider any groundhogs.
  25. Yankeeterrier
    I don’t know for sure but my guess would be I couldn’t afford the start up plus sales in general just isn’t my scene. I’m becoming less and less in the mood for having to do stuff like that.
