    There are two products I use, both Horse Products and brand named- one Ivercare (ivertmectin 1.87%) which is 1 cc/100lb and used monthly for rounds(heartworm) and the other is Equimax (ivermectin 1.87% + praziquantel 14.03% also called Drontal) and is the same dosage which I do every couple of months as it does tapes as well. If properly dosed regularly, worms don't build up an immunity since they're dead.

    Thanks Goldfinch, the bitch in the bottom pic with 5 coon is the dam of the one with 8 coons in the pic just above it.

    They range in weight from 20-30 pounds typically. A few smaller, a few bigger. They will grab the terrier and ball up on them and will do more damage than a fox. Stronger and more weapons. Real interesting animals, very clever and adaptable.

    They're a major agricultural pest and control is much needed. The farmers often don't even realize how many their barns hold in winter. Good animals, vocal and plentiful. Not meant to hijack your thread AP, just so the fellas abroad can see more photos of IA coon. I hope you don't mind. Goldfinch, they will damage a dog and are better than a fox.

    Good looking dog, I'd imagine he's bred right.

    You should have tried Bosky in that hay loft Dan. Nice yote.

    I don't know who wrote this but have seen this multiple times. I'll just paste it below and people can take it or leave it, interesting though... "Q: Can anyone please tell me how the pups get more dna from the mom than the dad? My limited understanding is that dna is 50/50. Being that the egg and the sperm are a single cell that join and then split. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A: The short answer is some of the DNA from the sperm is destroyed and more is lost, while all of it from the egg is passed on. Just so

    Personally I think they're no good for terrier coats

    I'd be interested in knowing how it goes, be sure to lather up in flea spray.

    Dog fox, if you plan a trip this side, let me know, I'll do my best to show you good sport. You're right, you'll regret stepping back onto the return plane.

    Why would anyone spend years and generations tryng to breed a smal pitbull when there are lines of working terriers that can aleady do the job? I agree Simoman, there are terriers that do the job fine.

    I think the dog you reference wilko isn't pictured. If you're referencing Kye's post, I saw Kye's dog work on that dig, perhaps his second this side, and he sounded for 20-30 minutes while I dug through real rooty earth to him as he was under a tree. Kye was sawing and digging the dog's side of the tree. The coon drowned packed into an incredibly tight tube on the edge of a stream trying to bolt. It's hard to say what happened to be honest, as this line will bay to grips and the dog was one side of roots, us on the other, and the quarry was wedged, deceased by drowning/suffocation, a tug o

    thankyou for a very honest discription of your quarry.. what line of terrier do you keep.. and are the coons best bayed. or does a strong hard bitten terrier work better on them .. out of intrest can anyone terrier kill a fall grown coon. single handed. if not do you have to lay the terrier up to recover .or are they ready to go pretty quick...... A strong mixer, as said, that will push to a stop and hold them is ideal. I've not seen hard dogs on them, but they are a tough animal and it's rare to find one dead to ground. It happens, but routinely, not to my knowledge. A terrier with a kna

    Anything over 18 pounds is a testing animal for a terrier. Unfortunately, a dog on a coons throat isn't as straightforward as some would think, the coon has more tools than a fox, is incredibly flexible and has a powerful bite. A large coon is an incredibly strong animal and will use front and hind feet to ball up on the dog working with the leverage of the dog's collar nearly turning in it's own skin. Most of my experience with them has been with mixers in the earth and the larger coons certainly deal more injury per contact. The smaller ones seem more active and vocal but also have more

    A correction has nothing to do with breed, what you do it with, age, temperament etc. A correction is just a correction. If the dog understands what it's for, it's not personal, just a correction for a disobedience. A correction of any kind needs to be appropriate for the dogs temperament and level of understanding. You have to start somewhere. If the dog understands "no" and that it predicts a correction, a "no" will stop the disobedience to avoid a correction. If not, the dog doesn't understand what you're asking or the correction is ineffective/inappropriate for the drive level it'

    Not fair, you should respect your elders...... I must look like Ratkillah in the Colorado wastelands trying to catch a wounded jackrabbit in a farmers front garden.....like a gimp chasing a shiny ball...... Hahahah lol, i forgot that, me runing around like a retarted version of forest gump tripping out on mushrooms and chasing the foot ball but it was a jack rabbit "Mummma i'm gunnaa get him, no bunnie wrabit gettin' way from me" All i could hear is you and kye howling with laughter in the truck, Whilst i was being run around the farmers garden in a good foot of snow by the rab
