Yeah theirs a guy in n.y that has some use's them for blood tracking.I have a convention to go to this weekend I'll see what I can find out.I have been told their slow and steady.

Yeah I knew a woman who knew how to do it she did a female hound for me.Steve morrow and his buddy Vinny know all about it get hold of him.

There was some great hounds in hound history that where at least a quarter running dog. Johnsons banjo was one!

Dave no I don't believe running hounds have enough treeing instinct bred into them.but I have seen some that would tree most do not and nontreeing appears to be dominant in hounds.but in non hound breeds the treeing trait appears to be dominant except in most bird dogs.you would probably have the be...

You make some good points Dan and I am sure by now you realize that line breeding does not mean absolute success.

Not trying to open up a can of worms but yes all three are related.I found this out researching hound history.at one time basic color for Julys was brindle but also merle.a common trait for Julys was run to catch and catch to kill which is also in plotts.conversations between Dale Brandenburg and To...

Dan the trait for running by sight is dominant over trailing you will have to go back to a hound cross.

Dan theirs is a genetic link between the three they all are heavy in July genes or Irish hounds ya I mean plotts and leopards.

Sorry barksalot I posted a reply yesterday hit the wrong key I guess and deleted it.but any how I can understand where Dan is coming from been down that road a few times myself but to find the answer to questions I was looking to solve. Well how did I do?well I did find the answer to a few of them.I...

It all depends on what you what to know.I will tell you this at one time I had a real good line of farm Shepard's better than any cur except a leopard but on the same level as hunting and brains and I am not putting down curs.they were easy to teach and had the drive I was looking for.I broke my fir...

Dan i don't know anyone who has made more crosses with hounds,curs,running dogs,bird dogs,sight hounds,farm Shepard's ,Airedales than myself.I did it for some of the same reasons but also to study traits and how their carried.you have your work cut out for ya.I found out a lot from it but I spent a ...

Dan didn't you once run leopard curs on cats and also black and tans if so what was the problem?

My brother came in contact with a rabid dog back in the fifties had to get the fourteen shots in the stomach.

David. Wrote of great wisdom.steve and I had a discussion once about color in hounds and how it can relate to ability.thats what the letter was about so it meant a lot to me I wish Steve had wrote more about breeding in the book.but if I ever decide to part with the book I will keep you in mind.than...

Steve signed my book and wrote me a nice letter but I loaned the book out and the letter disappeared.
