I have tried the kemmers,treeing, leopard,blackmouth,jagd,jack russells, and all 6 breeds of hounds and the Airedales.
For coyotes I like the kemmers and the Jagds and for biggame I have settled on the walkers.
You have to understand that within each of these breeds you have certian bloodlines to do a certain job, for instance the curs... for most of the curs they have been bred today for squirrels and to get a bloodline for biggame or coyotes they are not as common.
The same goes for coon hounds the majority of hounds are bred for coons.
As far as a tree dog, in my oppinion you can teach anydog to tree.
You might want to narrow down what you want the dog for or what you are going to use the dog for.
 
I was just trying to get all the breeds and go from there. I am just doing research. No dogs for a couple years sadly. But could still go with friends.
 
You can pretty give up on all the lists that you keep posting and break things down into a simple list.

When talking dogs don't worry about the specific breeds. Break it down like this: coonhounds, curs, fiest, leopard curs (not to be confused with curs), Catahoulas(again, not to be confused with curs), and terriers. All the other dogs on these lists that you have will generally fit into one of these catagories. If they don't, they aren't popular enough to worry about.

Breeds that are bred to tree: Coonhounds, Curs, Feists, and Leopards.

Terriers are hole dogs. Thus their name. Some tree, most don't. Some run track well, most don't.

Catahoulas are, IMO, hog and cattle dogs. But they are gamey and have tons of grit from what I understand. But most aren't breed to tree.

All of this was speaking in gereralities. Nothing says a cur can't run hogs. a terrier can't tree or a Catahoula can't run track.

The thing that you need to remember most is that ALL breeds and their sub-breeds have different strains bred by different people for different things/styles. Life's to short to learn them all. Don't try.


Confused yet?

I was busy typing when you were responding to devin's post.

Coon, squirrel and barn hunt? Find a ballsy strain of feist. Nothing alse will do all those things cept a rare terrier.

Chris, you saying my Catahoullas are rare? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
I am blessed with many things, must be all the good clean livin. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
All jokin aside, I would never recomend a catahoulla, from my lines ,or anyone elses, for a tree dog.As good as they are for what I do.
Kid, the point we are all tryin to make, "decide what you want to do, and find a dog,(not just a breed) that suits you." Best of luck with whatever you settle on. Duane.
 
Thanks. I understand what you are saying. I was staring with breeds and working down to specific dogs and might try several dogs from the same breed.
 
I know that each strain is diffrent. I'm keeping up pretty well i think. I'll stop posting unless i have a seriuos ? or i know what im talking about. Ok
