Treeing Tennessee Brindle

During the turbulent 1960s, Reverend Phillips noticed a particular type of Cur dog that had become increasingly popular among hunters due to its remarkable sense of smell, speed and treeing ability. Alongside other owners of these brindle dogs, he established an organization dedicated to protecting this breed – now known as the Treeing Tennessee Brindle.

This pup has a brindle coat and an athletic body. Not only are they known to be excellent hunters, but also make fantastic watch dogs and companions. When hunting, these canines like to do so in groups; however, they may not take too kindly towards smaller pets as they might perceive them as targets instead of friends.

The breed that stands out the most for its brindle coat is the TTB – their short, smooth fur can be either black and brindle or have white spotting. Males reach 18 to 24 inches in height while females typically stand between 16 and 22 inches tall; they usually weigh around 30 to 45 pounds. Not only are these dogs known for their striking coats, but also their exceptional performance on trails thanks to their amazing voice! Though a distinct coat pattern was key when creating this breed, it’s always been clear that performance should take precedence over looks.

Primarily bred for its prowess in the field, rather than looks or personality, the Treeing Tennessee Brindle is renowned for its hunting ability. This dog has impressive stamina and a superior sense of smell which it uses to detect prey from afar. Always vigilant and attentive on duty, you can count on this hunter never allowing any quarry to pass by unnoticed. Of course their most celebrated feature is their bays and barks when they are at work – an unmistakable trait that makes them known as some of the ultimate game treeers!

The Treeing Tennessee Brindle is known to be a sensitive breed of Cur dog that requires an understanding, caring master. They tend to respond more positively to positive reinforcement training methods than harsh reprimand, as they learn best when their good behavior is rewarded. With patience and gentle guidance this pup can become an excellent companion!

The Treeing Tennessee Brindle is an active pup that truly thrives when it’s outdoors. To ensure optimal health and wellbeing, they should receive at least one hour of exercise daily! Encourage your pooch to explore their natural instincts such as tracking and hunting, but also provide opportunities for hiking, climbing, swimming or playing with other pups. These furry friends adore the great outdoors – so if you have a large yard in the countryside then this breed would be perfect for you! The Treeing Tennessee Brindle is not well-suited for city life, as they require a large amount of space to roam; unwanted destruction may occur if their movements are restricted.

The Treeing Tennessee Brindle’s short fur is low maintenance and hardly ever needs a bath – unless they happen to get particularly muddy or roll around in something smelly. To keep their coat healthy, give them a weekly brushing session; that ought to do the trick. If you take them for regular walks on hard surfaces such as pavement, chances are high that there won’t be any need for claw-clipping either. However, with age comes thicker claws which wear down less quickly than normal… so trims might become necessary every once in awhile!
