Treeing
Tennessee Brindle
The Treeing Tennessee Brindle dog
is second of the "mountain" curs. As opposed to the
Mountain Cur, this breed tends a lot more to the hound.
The Treeing Tennessee Brindle dog roots are the same as
the other coon-dogs. Rather honest statement of the
Association sums up this dog's history. "Our original
breeding stock came from outstanding brindle tree dogs
from every part of the country." The Plott dogs as well
as the Curs may have played prominently in the formation
of the Tennessee dog.
Hunters used the small brindle hounds for generations.
They didn't have a name for them then; they just knew
that these unpretentious dogs were fine open trailers
and were superb locators, fearless with game such as
coon and squirrel but very companionable with men and
dogs.
It wasn't until 1967 that a group formed to foster and
register the breed and give it an official name. Founded
by the Reverend Earl Phillips who is in his late 90s and
still working his dogs, the Treeing Tennessee Brindle
Breeders Association has grown from modest beginnings to
over 500 members in 30 states. In 1978, the TTBBA turned
its registry over to the American Coon Hunters
Association and the Treeing Brindle was recognized as
this group's ninth breed of coonhound. The TTBBA has
recently applied to AKC for Miscellaneous Class status
for then-breed.
The Treeing Tennessee Brindle dog are fast and
courageous hunters and, as companions, are intelligent,
affectionate and easygoing. Their promoters say the
Treeing Tennessee Brindle dog have "heart and try" in
abundance.
Puppy buyers are encouraged to look for a Treeing
Tennessee Brindle that is happy, bold, confident and
inquisitive. The Treeing Tennessee Brindle dog is
particularly sensitive to neglect or abuse, and breeders
warn that care must be taken in training not to destroy
that heart— "You can take it out, but you can never put
it back!"
As the name implies, the Treeing
Tennessee Brindle dog is excellent at treeing and hunting.
Its intelligence, speed, and powerful scenting power all
contribute to such trait. In addition, its coat (in
brindle and black with brindle trim) is short, dense,
and smooth. It has a deep broach chest, small ears,
black nose, heavy muzzle, prominent dark eyes that are
set wide apart, tight cat feet, and straight tail. This
dog is ideal as a pet and a working dog. This hunting
dog is perfect for the human hunter.
