I was afraid you would say that! LOL

Actually a TRUE Bluetick is a blue hound with heavy ticking. What Sally and I have are black ticks.

As for the coats, this is a trait I breed for. It is protection and it is correct. I only have two "Blackticks" but most of my tri's have this coat too. Go figure! LOL
