sandgrubber Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 (edited) I noticed an add for 'majestic tree hound' pups in our local paper. Seems they are a new /old breed depending on how you look at them, recognized by NKC. They look like lovely dogs. Are they in Australia? Maybe not . . . treeing isn't so useful for Australian big game :D see. eg, http://www.nmtha.com Edited November 15, 2010 by sandgrubber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darlingdog Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 I noticed an add for 'majestic tree hounds' in our local paper. Seems they are a new /old /wannabe breed depending on how you look at them. They look like lovely dogs. Are they in Australia? Great.....look like pointers or foxhounds crossed with bloodhounds to me...just what we need, another designer breed used by 'the good 'ole boys' of the world.

Great.....look like pointers or foxhounds crossed with bloodhounds to me...just what we need, another designer breed used by 'the good 'ole boys' of the world. A registry was formed in the USA in the 1980's.........They are very similar to the Coon Hound, not a new designer breed and used for hunting. Quite an amazing hunting dog Edited November 16, 2010 by newfsie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poochmad Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 I'm pretty sure they haven't been brought into Australia yet - but maybe someone on DOL knows otherwise. They're a pretty nice looking dog though. How much were they selling for in the paper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poodlefan Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Are these related to the Treeing Walker Coonhound??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freundhund Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 I am fascinated to know what and why someone in Australia would breed this sort of dog? Most native fauna that these dogs could hunt and tree is protected!!!! If you could show the breed I could maybe understand, but I just don't see this as a 'breed' we need for its 'working' ability. JMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even notice their location. In that case, Sandgrubber, no we don't have this breed in Oz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
