How Many Off Yous Hunt Black And Tans ??

[madrarua 29]

 

It depends on which breed of hound you are talking about, most harrier men would not let any scarteen breeding into their kennels. The scarteen use alot off kerry breeding using only black and tan harriers, which made them a very good pack. But then it is said that they used a black and tan coon hound for colour and ruined any breeding it was used on. The kerry harrier are a top class hound which comes in all colours including black and tan and tongue that is second to none. Some have double tongue and some of the more older lines have treble tongue.

 

Forgive my ignorance, but what are double and treble tongue?

 

Hi Krawnden, double tongue is when a hound is giving tongue, usually real heavy deep tongue, and it changes to a different note in the one breath. It is the same for a hound with treble tongue. These kerry hounds don't be used in gun packs, as it is not a test for the hound. These hounds often would be hunting three days back to back in the high mountains. That is a good a test you will get on any hound. I am lucky enough to have some pups coming from these packs this month. It will be a nice addition to my own pack.
