Took three 6 month old Gunner/Mattie pups out for training on the trapline. I was planning on adding a coyote to the bay pen, but these pups had their own plans. Decided to only take the pups, no older dog, to see their reaction if they came across a coyote. They worked the ground hard on the drag, but once they finally got downwind of the coyote...all he!! broke loose. It didn't take them long to kill the coyote.
Here are some video still shots:
Update:
After receiving multiple requests to watch the video, I edited an excerpt of it out to show the grittiness of the two young males. I'm saving the entire video for the DVD.
Warning: The UPDATED video is suited for all audiences, as this is a public forum, it's always sunny outside, and we don't want to ruffle any feathers or fur.

Scott and Brian, your male pups are really turning on. They are far more gritty than Gunner was, at twice their age. I believe I'll be keeping a male from this cross in the future, for myself.
Hope yall enjoy.

tony you might need a breakin stick, or this sounds stupid but it does work... the pup that didnt want to let go grab and lift his ear and give a sharp "blow" of air into it. just get your face back cuz he is gonna let go.lol
Steve, It's in her blood. Her full siblings are grittier than all get out here on the ranch. She should do well.
EMT, I just need to work with them more on the drop command. I've got most all the others broke on it, these 6 month olds need alot of work.
There's a whole lot more to that video, outside of this excerpt. Instincts finally took over and the little female finally turned it on and grabbed hold. I was proud of her.
Thanks...Tony
