My New Dog
 

This is Tagger. Hes my new hunting dog. Its not hunting season yet, but hes a seasoned veteren on tolling coyotes, trapline dog for coyote and badger, coons, bears, lions and even some bird hunting. Guess you would say hes and equal opportunity dog.

Hey thats a cooooooool dog !

Thanks Nulle.

This is my first Airedale, but I have been around them some and seen them in action, even this dog on video. They are excellent hunting dogs.

I plan to use him on coyotes, mainly as a tolling/decoy dog while calling. Possibly on trapped coyotes as well, trailing up and baying draglines. And coons. He should be a hammer on coons. He will tree and no problem with taking care of wounded ones.

I have an offer to go to South Dakota for phesant with some guys this fall. I guess he would do fine there as well for finding dead birds and maybe tracking live ones.

Cool Andy, let us know how he does,,,good lookin dog he is!

I sure have enjoyed old Sam, he made a fine retriever for 9 years.

Your new pup looks like a Redline.

Sorry I didnt see this earlier, Dog Yeller.

Yeah hes a Redline. I got him out of Arizona, but his bloodlines come from Henry Johnson in Kentucky, orginally.

Hes a hunting fool. I have had him out several times since that last post and Im really, really pleased with him. Well behaved, well mannered and hunt drive that does not stop.

I cant wait till fall to get into some serious hunting. :)

Thats a good lookin dog you got as well. Using him as a retriever? The guy I got this dog from has one, looks alot like yours, that he used to bird hunt and retrieve doves.

This dog has done some phesant and quail hunting. I dont know how much I will use him for that. Probably tolling coyotes and treeing/killing coons will be his main job. Not to mention being my best friend. My truck hasnt left the house since I got him hardly, without him in it. We are together 24/7.

From what I have seen of Airedales, with all the personality they have, they do better with more contact. They are a 24/7 dog.
