We got a free i believe blue tick hound that was supposed to run coyotes..the guy just wanted to get rid of him cause he was getting outta hound hunting.. we got talking to the guy and found out he ran bear aswell but he wasnt too fond of the dog because if the dog was on a bear trail an a coyote track was hotter he would leave the bear an go off on coyote. Im not quite sure if he tried the shock collor system to break him of coyote or what but we tried running him on coyote an he will go for about 50 yards and wont bark, stop then come right back to ya. i imagaine he would make an amazing house dog. He is very lovable an nice lookin. We had him in the house for a few days an never messed on the floors as long as we let him out a few times a day.. if anyone is intrested his name is Bud an he would make a good dog. Possibly a good huntin dog if you took the time with him...we just have to many pups already started and dont really wanna shy away from them since their goin so good..
