EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

I was just given a registered treeing walker she WAS trained on coins but the guy said its been a long while since she's been hunted. I know she has had a couple of litters. I was just wondering if a dog forgets after not being hunted for a while and if so how easy is it to get her back on track. I have never hunted coins and would love to get into the sport. Any opinions are appreciated

If you got a coin dog there's gonna be a bunch of pissed of old geezers walking around the beach with socks and sandals. :D better watch your back, they may try to beat you with their metal detectors.

 :D that's funny stuff right there

Once a coin dog always a coin dog unless broke off by some means. It would help if you could throw in with a solid dog for a trip or two.

I think a coin dog would be priceless. shoot if you give a few hundred bucks she should find ya enuff coins to have herself paid off in a year or so.

x2...

OK I am stupid. What is trained on coins?

I am done with coin dogs, i want a chicken that lays golden eggs ;D

X2 I'm lost in the sauce

Maurice and I have decided that "coins" is auto-spell for coons on a cell phone.

megan you beat me to it  >:( go to bed J/K :P

tho a coin sniffin dog dont sound to bad, wonder if dachsunds could do it ???

LOL thats funny stuff right there, however, I have trained dogs on coins. Seriously, I have trained police dogs to do what is called evidence recovery or article search. The way it works is if a perp is believed to have dropped evidence while being chased or thrown something out in a field, you take the dog to the down wind side and cast. They are taught to search for anything with fresh human odor on it. So wanting a dog to tune in to small amounts of odor, I will hold a coin for a few minutes and then toss it out in a field. The dog gets a ball or retriever type dummy for finding it kind of like a narcotics or explosive detection dog. Anyway, if anyone wants a true coin dog, I can train one up for ya! lol

Sorry yall I meant coon dog Haha well Now we should be able to get back on the right track

I'm sure she's not lost it but she may not come out of the box, go half a mile and tree the first time. I'd try and trap an ol' coon. Then turn it loose and start her out on the right track that's nice and hot. I've laid my dogs up a lil bit and it never fails that if I don't mess with them with a hog a few days before I go back to hunting they are so wired that just want to go and find anything.

Thanks ill try that

Might be a little rusty, bit should be fine.  We used to have to lay our coon dogs up all summer, and it would take a few nights out to get them back in the groove, but the good ones always fell right back in.

we lay our dogs up all winter usually and then feb first dump them out, they dont seem to forget just a little lazy and out of shape after a little tuning there back on track

Just go dump her on a good draw somewhere. If she has treed coon in the past, she will tree coon now.

wonder if a COIN dog will trash on bills???  ;D

Haha good one
