Super User clayton86 Posted October 19, 2015 Super User Posted October 19, 2015 Been wanting to get a puppy for some time I never had one growing up mom never let me. Had a few with the ex wife that never lasted because she wouldn't stick to training and got sick of them fast the one I did manage to train and train well we got rid of to keep the over hyper and poorly trained Weimaraner that she babied. The other day my best friends fiancé shared a post on FB that her brother has puppies he wanted to get rid of but had to go to a good home. So I inquired about said puppies and was told two were left. So I told her I wanted a female and asked what the breed was even though looking at the pic I knew they were mixed with walker coon hound. She told me she was mine and they were walker/blue tick/pit bull I said perfect I wanted her. I work with blue ticks all year training them for running coons and fox/coyote. I'm way better with animals then I am people trained dogs and horses and get along with all animals even ones people say don't like any one or are mean or unrideable all seem to take a liking to me. I got a name all picked out went and bought some puppy chow, leash collar everything I would need. Then I got a phone call that she was gone that the guy was offered money for her when I was getting her for free so he obviously took the money. So feeling defeated and saying it must not have been time not meant to be I brushed it off and returned the stuff I bought. All this was Friday fast forward to Sunday today and getting ready to go to my buddy's house warming, birthday, Halloween party all wrapped into one I get a phone call that he has some thing for me when I get there. I assumed he got a nice deer this morning and wanted to show it off. Pulled in went in the garage and this cutie was on the couch he drove all the way from NC to deliver her to me when the original buyer fell threw not wanting a hound in a apartment or something. He called my best friend and asked if I was still interested and with out asking me told him yes knowing that if I said it once I was still. Needless to say I'm happy the kids are happy the GF is happy I'm happy I finally got my dog. Told him no apartment living here(like with the ex wife and all our dogs) told him she's got a good home I have a 2 acre yard and 3 acres of woods behind that and ponds just down the road for her. Still don't know if I'm gonna train her to hunt coon or coyotes/fox she might just be a house dog(yeah I know walker/tick in a house) but I've been wanting a dog that is mine and I can take fishing and just out heck get me off my arse and running with. I'm thinking I'm gonna train her for shed hunting to give her nose something to do and curve her will to hunt maybe try and get her into the DEC wounded deer recovery program. She's a cuddler and is very good and comes to her name already no leash she runs the yard letting her nose lead the way but soon as I holler Zoey she comes running ears a flapping. Worked on sit and shake just real basic stuff and she took to it right away. Anyways enough of me rambling here's some pics She almost looks like she's mixed with beagle 6 Quote
Super User Catch and Grease Posted October 19, 2015 Super User Posted October 19, 2015 Pretty dog, This is the beginning of a long friendship... Quote
Big C Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 If you take her fishing you should train her to net the fish for you. Cute pup, they call dogs "man's best friend" for a reason. Quote
Fisher-O-men Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 I believe dogs were specially designed for service and companionship for humans. I raise pups and at about 4 weeks something happens, like throwing a switch, and they love people more than anything! Quote
Super User clayton86 Posted October 19, 2015 Author Super User Posted October 19, 2015 Took her shooting today just the little stuff to start .22 and 17hmr she didn't flinch a muscle only thing I'm finding is she hates the leash as most puppies do but she's never been on one she just follows me around and comes when I call her if she wanders off. She kept going in the shed nose going crazy. I've processed a few deer in there already this season and a few raccoons got skinned out and hung in there last year but I doubt she smells the raccoons.

atomicfriday Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Life just isn't right without a dog. Congratulations on your pup, I have a 6 month old and she is just a hoot! Also a 7 yo (both are pits) and I couldn't imagine life without them. Quote
