They both just turned 2.Ive had redbones for 25 years and never have had any major trash problems with them..This is his second time getting into one,the first time he only had about 10 quills in his nose.Thought hed give up on them but now im not too sure.Ive been hunting black dogs for about 6or7 years now cuz its gotten so hard to find a good redbone..Really like them but have had all kinds of problems with them and porkys..
