Venus is a 18-19 month old female out of Redwood and Bayou bloodlines she is making every bear race and starting to tree more and more every tree. I have only had her on a hand full of Bears and 1 lion. Every race she has been on has been hot so I don’t know yet how well she is going to trail. She will finish out to be a nice bear dog for sure. Just needs to continue to have game in her face.
