Any body heard of a dog named Tank out of Blanding Utah? (black and tan).
Supposed to have been a heck of a bear dog.

Yes I have, hes a three legged dog now though. I hunted hehind that dog alot about 3 yrs ago.
Kason Smith owns him now.

Tank was supposed to be a hell of a good rig dog, from what I hear he was put down last week...

Thats too bad, I owned that dog as a pup. I showed him well over 50 coon, but he would eat out of the same dish as the house cats. I didn't think he was gonna turn out so I gave him away. boy was I wrong from what I heard about how he turned out. He would only be 9 years old right now. Too bad.

anybody got pics of this dog, keep the story going, how did the three legs happen, why was he put down.

thanks,
D

He was 3 legged in a sense...was knocked off a cliff fighting a bear, and couldnt really use that fourth leg anymore...

I had the pleasure of hunting this dog for a few months, He was a pleasure to haul& hunt.

Bill,

You should have a picture some where in your archive of memorabilia...

ah yes my old Tank dog.. I got this dog from my cousin Matt.. I hunted him several years before selling him to Kasen Smith. when i got him he wasnt much of anything. he had just sat on a chain and hadnt been worked much. It took alot patience to work this dog. he sure had a mind of his own until he was introduced to tri-tronics. But he turned out to be the best bear dog i ever owned and would say he would rival any other bear dog out there. This dog was fearlessI sold him to Kasen Smith when i decided to go back to school. Ill see if i can dig up a picture or two.. Riley i have some awesome video of this dog if you ever come down to David's look me up and ill show it to you..
