Not spring here yet, got a few more weeks but they will be around May, that's when momma is teaching her kids how to hunt.

May June is when I need em.

I don't know what my lab would do if she ran into a coon. She's a pretty driven hunter though.

The husky would eat a coon. The big dog would be cautious and just bark. The small dog would probably run away. Dogs are a mixed bunch.

The husky though. She'll kill anything you tell her too. She'd hunt deer if I let her.

I would worry about the dog being hurt. A lab is not a match for a dog, in water the dog would be dead. A couple dogs would take a coon though.

I'm not planning on letting her run into any, of course. I would definitely worry too. We do have another lab, but she's afraid of vacuums and hair dryers.....

All it took for my Weimers was one coon slashing her neck open....after that she absolutely hates coons. The male just joins in on the fun.

That's why I don't let my pups hunt coons. >_> Husky is tenacious but would not be cautious or smart. She'd get bit bad. Rats I let her hunt. Groundhogs I'm cautious but she does it. Squirrels, birds, rabbits, chipmunks, mice, whatever. Coons? That's not only spooky for injury but a rabies risk.

Sean, that's how my dogs are about groundhogs. But the adults are so big, they're scary and tough and their teeth are huge.....

They 'team up' on them now, coons can't protect both ends at the same time!

Some folks would consider it cruel but nature can be just as cruel.

My dogs do team up too on the groundhogs but the husky doesn't care. If the big dog doesn't distract the groundhog first it gets dicey. She will dive in without thinking. I try not to let them go after the adults.

The smaller ones? They wreck 'em with ease. But getting a dog for removing raccoons? I would not try unless you already have one. If I get another animal aggressive dog I will think about it. But not when it's just the one and she's such a clumsy idiot. >_>
