I had a papered pit that would run rabbits, tree coon with my hounds. She never really barked on trail but squealed with excitement.. Bad for rabbits cause she was generally very close. But she loved those coons. I did a less then steller job one night knocking a coon out of a tree and it was getting the best of my hound. Jess grabbed the coon and proceeded to throw the coon and my bluetick around like a rag doll for a minute or two... gOOD TIMES.
