Can you train a Bluetick/Blue heeler mix to hunt and tree a racoon?

I have 2 blue tick/Blue heeler mix puppies and was wondering if they can be taught to hunt and tree a racoon?Can you train a Bluetick/Blue heeler mix to hunt and tree a racoon?
Well, I suppose if they took after the Bluetick side of the family you could, but if their instincts are to herd, then I'm not sure. Why on earth would anyone take a hunting dog and cross it with a herding dog, anyway, or was it an ';oops';?





Crossbreeds are usually excellent family pets, but lack enough of the traits of either breed to be useful in the work that the purebred was meant for. I doubt that your dogs will be the best coon hunters going, OR the best herding dogs...but you never know. Try them, and see if they can hold their own.
