Title: Canton Trade Days Post by: Dixie dog on July 02, 2011, 08:09:33 am Does anyone know the hours for Canton Trade Days for Sunday?
Title: Re: Canton Trade Days Post by: BobbyB on July 02, 2011, 08:27:49 am Do they still have the big dog yard? Me and the old coon hunter that worked for us went up there back about '81 and I never saw so many hounds in my life.
Title: Re: Canton Trade Days Post by: BIG CHRIS on July 02, 2011, 08:52:43 am i live about 20 miles from canton it get slow around 5 in the afternoon and u can be there as early as 8 to walk around. bobby there is no where near the hounds or any real hunting dogs at canton trades day anymore. u may get lucky and find an old coon hunter everyonce in awhile with a started dog, but it does seem to be alotta smooth talkers that try set up and tell u that there dogs are out of working stock, u know the routine. all in all just a bunch of over priced lap dogs there.

Man, when Sonny and myself went there were hundreds of dogs. A lot of traders, a lot of hunters out of OK with coon and fox hounds. Lots of beagles. We stayed on the grounds all weekend and it was a blast . Hundreds of dogs. I always wanted to go back for the auction on Monday.
