Zeus is my hunt buddy, tracker, deer runner, and friend. Zeus
is a one-of-kind natural alpha self starting lead hunt hound that
has never been outperformed. He averages 90 pounds and is gentle to
those he loves including our pet deer. His largest trophy hunt
is a 12-point whitetail deer scoring 168 Boone & Crockett.
Zeus is a self-starter and typically runs 3 miles and returns to
starting point, getting in 3 to 6 starts a day; the highest his
Garmin GPS collar logged for a entire days hunt was 40 miles. Over a
dozen deer are harvested in front of Zeus each year and multiple
blood trails tracked and located. Zeus is stately, calm,
confident and holds his tail high with a distinct deep resonating
coonhound bawl. Zeus never starts a fight with other hunt dogs but
always ends them.
Athena the
Dame
Athena is happy go lucky great hunter, tracker and short runner
(less than one mile per run) with an enthusiastic personality that
compliments Zeus' quiet, gentle personality.
The Bluetick
Hound, Why We Love Them:
There is greatness in all dogs
and all breeds. There is a quality about a Bluetick coonhound that
just puts a catch in your heart. It may be the incongruity of the
breed - here is a dog with the endurance and fortitude to trail and
track all night, the intelligence and instinct to follow a lead
across miles of varying terrain, and the uncanny ability to turn up
the next morning - with torn pads and ears - in the same spot where
the hunt began, waiting stoically for his human to find him ----
Seemingly imperturbable with their doleful expressions and simple
needs, they are also almost heartbreakingly vulnerable - as if their
contentment with humble fare is a defense against the possibility
that there may never be more offered. But nothing compares to the
adoring look in those houndly eyes, nor the profound sigh of bliss
when that large head is lowered onto your lap to receive gentle
petting. Euphoric appreciation attends every meal placed before a
coon hound, and there is not another dog we know who can appreciate
with such utter abandon the exquisite comfort of a soft, fleecy bed
---- In these gentle giants' demeanor there are recognition and
abject gratitude for the love they inspire in a human heart.
Coonhounds bond in a deep and undemanding manner. Their easy-going
personalities help them settle into the rhythms of home life easily
and naturally, and they are perfect examples of how to make the most
of any situation - from down time to play time - no dog sleeps
better, bounds into the turck more joyously, endures more patiently,
or loves more faithfully than a Bluetick coonhound. - Unknown Author with

Born 01/10/2012 - 9 pups - 4 girls, 5 boys (4
traditional bluetick and 5 rare redtick):
"I wanted
to give you an update on a pup I purchased last
spring (female with the recessive brown trait). She
was the 'runt' of the litter. She is the smartest
hound I have ever owned, She started treeing
squirrels in my yard at 5 months old. She is the
most obedient hound I have ever owned also. I
started taking her coon hunting about 3 weeks ago.
She has treed a coon on 4 out of 6 trips. All of
this was done alone. She has never been with another
dog. I have never had a hound start that quick.
I had been out of the sport of coon hunting for 30
years. I am starting to get back into it. She has
really got me fired up. I plan to take her out
squirrel hunting next weekend. She may have
been the runt and look different from a traditional
Bluetick, but she is one good dog...." Eric
