Elvis knew what he was talking about when he said like a hound dog crying all the time.

I know someone who fostered a blue tick. Coonhounds are such sweet gentle dogs. They love people.

I grew up with blueticks. My blue tick is 16 this year. I think you got a good one man, beautiful hound!

What a handsome boy! Thank you for adopting Trapper!

He's gorgeous!!! We adopted 2 different coon hounds over the years from being uthinised from a shelter. They are cool dogs to own if you don't mind the baying. Lol. Enjoy your beautiful four legged friend.

Beautiful dog. I'm from Tennessee (our state dog) so I'm desperately waiting for Smokey X's parents to have puppies again. Thank you for saving this beautiful animal!

What a handsome boy. Congratulations, I am sure he is so grateful you took him in

I absolutely love coonhounds...I rescued mine a few months ago and she rescued me too...I'm in love

I am so happy you found this beautiful boy. I recently lost my bluetick best friend and miss him dearly. This video has me crying tears of happiness. Here’s to a long, happy and healthy life together for the two of you.

These are the best dogs in the world. As long as you satisfy their wanderlust.

I try my best to satisfy him! I made a video of some of our hiking adventures you should check it out

They’re such great dogs! I have two.

I got a blue tick from a shelter too. Skin and bones so he ate too fast then threw up. Got a slow eater bowl and he put wt on fast. At first he was so scared and didn’t want us to pet him. Now a year later he is the goofiest and most loving dog ever. He is a big mamas boy and a big sweetie.

I adopted my blue tic rescue sent to New Hampshire 6 years ago when he was 2yo! Best dog I've ever had!

Oh I love him. I recognize that whine! He’s an absolute beauty. I’m glad he found you. 💕

Handsome boy 😍😁🐾

That is a handsome boy! 👍🏾

What a Gorgeous Dog . Yeah !he needed to eat and sleep . He is so pretty

That's a good lookin' hound

Our dog was a rescue as well, I’m working on building his outdoor play area, one thing we noticed is that they sleep through the night and wake up late in the morning

That’s a handsome hound dog indeed

Awwweeee....I had to share this video with everyone IK...I have a blue tick & she's absolutely the biggest baby ever we can't go anywhere without her getting on to us with her loud voice waking up the world but I wouldn't want it any other way 🐾

My son rescued a Redbone a few years ago, I swear that dog is my soul mate.

Gorgeous he's beautiful

Had these coonhounds now for 30 plus years. I would use them here in NS Canada to hunt big snowshoe hare rather than little beagles. They are the best hounds in the bush and a house pet the absolute most incredible fur babies. Love them!!

I rescued our big bluetick from the American Black and Tan Coonhound rescue in Jackson, CA. Love in a sack of skin :)

I shouldn't be watching these videos on hounds. I lost my Tri-color coonhound Valentine 15 months ago. He was my shadow. I was going to get another coonhound, but then one of the two remaining small dogs we have went totally blind during the past 15 months. I went from N. Florida to the Boone NC Humane Society just before Valentine's day 2013 to get my boy. It was over a thousand mile round trip drive, but worth every whine & howl coming home. His name was Stoney at the shelter. Valentine was the perfect name for him considering the day. Our Tri-color hound before Valentine was Valentino with 2 large heart shapes on his side. Trapper is such a beautiful boy. I hope you are having a great time with Trapper. PJ

Never heard of that breed, but he's gorgeous!

I had a coon hound/lab mix. Great dog, very smart, and lots of personality. I miss you Buck.

He is so handsome 🥰

God bless you for taking him... he's great and a very lucky dog!

Thank you for saving such a beautiful hound 🥰😘😘🇨🇦👍♥️♥️♥️

Good for you for taking him in. I have a female Blue Tick, and they are wonderful dogs. Balls of energy. But softies and love bugs. Just keep him active and he'll live a great life!

hounds are very loyal to their first owners.... he is coming around

He's a pretty guy. I wish you many years

I just love him!

The legacy begins…

That's a fine looking bluetick: houndy yet leggy. You ought to try to hunt him; it's a lot of fun--and, no, you don't have to kill anything. Just run him and let him howl. Blueticks, among all coonhound breeds, tend to have the best voices. Just remember, all dogs are goofy but hounds are extra goofy, so they are extra fun!

My goal is to hunt with him actually! I’ve been a lifelong pheasant hunter so I have more experience with bird dogs. This is my first hound but he has a stronger prey drive than any other dog I’ve ever seen. Currently on a waiting list with a trainer so we can channel that strong drive and help him focus.

ThatDudeVinny You'll have fun. No offense to your bird dogs, but a good hound doesn't just fetch dead poultry. Even a coon is like a little bear, and cats (bobcats and lions) are a real kick. That blue dog of yours looks to me like he's out of good stock. And I'll bet you dollars to donuts he's got a better than decent voice-- deep and melodious. Wait and see what you feel like when you hear that bluetick open up on an old track on a crisp, clear fall night with a long drawn out mournful bawl. Very haunting. It will send a shiver down your spine and you'll be hooked. Good luck.

Hi, I am looking to adopt a tan and black coonhound from a local shelter- we have a Lab but I am nervous about the "baying" in our neighborhood....how is Trapper's baying?

@ThatDudeVinny

Жыл бұрын

You should definitely check out my other videos if you are curious about baying. Coonhounds are loud dogs so they might not be the right choice for you if you are in an apartment or a place where you have to keep noise down. Trapper is the loudest dog I've ever met, he bays when hes happy/excited, when we have company come over, when I bring him places, and especially when we are out in the woods and he can smell animals. At the end of the day they were pretty much bred to make noise.

I plan on fostering her first. At any rate, Trapper is very handsome and I’m glad that he is in a loving home! I am a sucker for retrievers, pointers and hounds! They are sweet, eager to please and loving.

Hey there; i'm thrilled about these gorgeous blue ticked dogs. Have anybody an idea, where's the different between the blue ticked coonhound and the " bleu de gasgone"?? Its because i live in europe and here you can buy this french blue ticked dogs easier than a coonhound; the look is quite the same. Greets

Oook. I have find out that exist an American Blue Gascon Coonhound Asocciation too. These dogs ard a little bit longer tdlls the standard; but it's quite the same breed.

@ThatDudeVinny

2 жыл бұрын

Blue tick coonhounds are direct descendants of the grand bleu de gasgogne. In the early days of America the french settlers brought their gascogne hounds to Louisiana and crossed them with other hounds that were here to breed a dog that was good for tracking and treeing raccoons and other animals native to America. Grand bleu de gascogne's are larger and heavier than most blueticks. Trapper here is a definitely on the larger end of the spectrum for this breed and he could actually be one of the "American Gascon" hounds. The American Gascons are actually nicknamed "old-fashioned blueticks" because they kept more of the features from the old french gascognes. Since Trapper was found as a stray before he ended up in the dog shelter there's no way of knowing exactly what breed he is so I'll be getting a DNA test for him soon since the only thing that's for sure is that he is definitely a hound.

Can they be trained for hiking and of the leash?

@ThatDudeVinny

2 жыл бұрын

I wouldn't do any off leash stuff without a GPS collar because these dogs are controlled by their nose and will take off as soon as they get a scent but they are great for hiking. Check out some of my other vids with him we do a lot of hiking.

Is the dog's energy medium?

@ThatDudeVinny

It’s hard to put a label on it. He’s very low energy indoors until I take him outside and then he turns into a different dog and he really comes to life.

Yeah he was about 20 pounds underweight when I first got him. He's now at a healthy 100lbs and his vet said he's at a perfect weight for his body type now.

I don’t think so…I have owned several neutered dogs and they all had prey drive and could hunt. It did cut their dog on dog aggression though which was nice.
