CHAPTER IX 



DOGGY QUESTIONS AND ANSWEES 

 REDBONE HOUNDS 



I would deem it a favour if you would give me 

 the name of a kennel owning a pack of "Redbone" 

 hounds. 



Should be delighted to read any information 

 you may have relative to the work of these hounds 

 on deer in the mountains of California. I have 

 used these dogs on coon in the Southern States 

 and have seen so-called "trailing hounds " work 

 on deer in this State. From my limited experi 

 ence with them here it seems that time does not 

 enter into their calculations. 



A great many hunters here are shouting the 

 praises of the Airedale, naming his superior in 

 telligence, his speed, running only warm trails, 

 etc., as being attributes not possessed by the 

 hound. My experience with them has been limited 

 and for which, so far, I am thankful. Personally, 

 I like the hound if he be well broken.
