Last two years my buddy I hound hunt with has been saying no more blueticks, he's swearing off of em...... Aaand he send me this today

Good looking blue dogs i bet they can stand on their heads with the best of them, lol.

walkers win more hunts for being faster but I never heard walkers sing as pretty as a loud bawl mouth blue dog

That's a nice looking hound.

I like the big block heads and low set ears! What’s the bloodline?

Had a double Stylish Clover grand daughter that had a big bawl mouth as good as any blue dog I've been to the woods with. A big dying bawl that would send chills down your spine.

But you're right most walker folks have no idea that a true walker should be black and white, mostly white, without any red and bawl mouthed.

I wouldn't feed most these babbling squealing chop mouthed curs that pass for walkers these days.

Love a blue dog.
Be nice to be the first to win the world hunt with a blue dog

My first love was blue dogs. Dad ran smoky river dogs way back when. I was just a little thing back then but I remember them well. Nothing cuter in my book than a ticked up pup.

Nice !!!!

Nice you will have fun

As long as they run only what you're After..they're good hounds

I love a good old blu tick ...
I got a lot of fur , and a lot of memories from my ole girl ..!
Nice looking hounds

guy here in ks with blue dogs that has a dandy again this year. blue dog has never won the world but i keep thinking gerald and one of his dogs may be the first.

Good conformation on that bluetic. I never had bluetics, always redbones.. They treated me right on the trail and tree.

OK, I haven't been on all that many tug boats, but, I never remember seeing blueticks on any.

My Brother Herbert won a bunch with his Bluetick. He is from outside of Columbus Ohio.in Pataskala. He won a lot including a Pick Up Dog Box and a 22 rifle all at the same time. He hunted that dog Rain or shine every night. Clear down to Florida and everywhere else. When that dog let loose you could figure it would tree very soon. I never liked Walkers. They are better Deer Hounds. They use them in Florida in the swamps.

I have ZERO knowledge of coon hounds. But if someone sneered at any kind of bird dog…..ive hunted with most breeds and Ive at least seen some good in them, even if it wasnt the best. Whats so bad about a bluetick?

I followed coon dogs for over 40 years, strictly as a hide hunter.
I was 100% colorblind. If the dog was what I liked I hunted the pads off them come winter.
I’d have hunted a poodle if he’d hunt the way I liked and tree the snot outa coon.
Best meat dog I ever owned was 1/2 redbone, 1/4 black&tan, and 1/4 leopard fur. When he treed you could load the rifle, and he treed a lot.
I miss it, but I’m not killing them for nothing.

Nothing other than personal preference.

All the coonhounds, except plott or leopard curs, originated as the same thing american treeing foxhound then split out by breeders who fancied color.

The blue breeders, as are the black and tan, are often accused of favoring color, ear and extreme cold nose over track speed. While walkers are accused of track speed to the point of outrunning the coon. Reds bred for color and nothing else, lol. While the english guys claim to have the original coonhound as they take all colors, though the secretly want redtick only but won't admit it.

Truth is there's old style and new style in all the breeds. The walker speed is what is desired in the comp hunts so now you got dogs that are cookie cutter in every aspect save color.

But then you got dogs like nuggets new blues that reflect the old big rangy blues of the past.

Best dog I ever owned was a Bluetic out of Smokey River breeding
