Talk:Black and Tan Coonhound

message: The entire personality section reads like a personal essay on the author's love of the dog.  "These dogs are truly one of the best kept secrets."??!  Hope someone neutral who knows about the subject can re-write it.  75.36.128.21 21:38, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Though I will agree, it DOES sound very one sided and bias, the Author truly did capture the personality of the Black and Tan Coonhound. I have owned many dogs, some of which include a Husky, Sheltie, Border Collie/Sheltie cross, a Redbone Coonhound and, yes, a Black and Tan Coonhound. More than one, actually. And I must say, they truly are the most lovable, underapreciated dogs out there. I wouldnt disagree with a single thing he has said. It describes, well, not only my own Black and Tan, but also my father's and various other owners I have met and talked to. He is not lying though, they ARE harder dogs to fine. Mine and my father's are sisters and my father is very deep into Coonhounds so we have met other owners.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.65.69.36 (talk) 05:58, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

So what, this is the nature of Wikipedia. When looking at Wikipedia information you will never know the credentials or lack there of, of the author. If you need solid information you need to be looking else where.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.129.60.164 (talk) 23:14, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Not sure how you add references, but much of the initial paragraph as well as the description section and at least the 3rd paragraph of the personality section appears to be more or less a condensation of information from the AKC webpage(http://www.akc.org/breeds/black_tan_coonhound/index.cfm).
While I tend to agree with most of the subjective descriptions of the Black and Tan Coonhound found in this article, I also agree that the descriptions as written do read as subjective descriptions and could be helped by greater objectivity in writing style and/or supporting references. I would also enjoy seeing citations with regard to Mr. Washington's and Mr. Jefferson's ownership of B&T's. The AKC's history of the breed suggests that they were first "Owned by scouts and Indian fighters during the late 1700s," and that, "the Black and Tan was the first coonhound to be considered a separate breed from the American Foxhound and was admitted to American Kennel Club registry in 1945," (http://www.akc.org/breeds/black_tan_coonhound/history.cfm).
The final couple of paragraphs of this article are a bit bizarre and should probably be deleted as they are the poorly expressed and unsupported opinions of the writer. I could just as easily argue that black and tans are readily available--we often see coonhound litters (frequently including black & tans) & grown hounds in the classifieds as well as at the local animal shelters here in Arizona.

message: Hi waving ;)
I edited up the sections of the article which referred to the author and the reader to make it more appropriate for Wikipedia, but it does still need some references for several of its statements. Predator47 (talk) 07:22, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
