Cool I would like learn more about what's available?

Not sure what you mean by grade dogs but I would be interested in learning more about what he's got going on.

I found the interview to be filled with lots of rewarding information and well worth the time. Awesome job Bret and Mike.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge guys.

What's up than, what type, is he a breeder?

Hello pautenis thanks for the reply, does your buddy from Cali have dogs ? I got mine from a breeder in Texas. He got tough paws & deals with this rough ground real well. I haven't had a chance to put him on a track yet though..

I'm in North Arizona in prime lion country.
I'm just getting started with a 8 month old blue tic male and looking for some more dogs. Does anybody know of some other avid houndsman in Arizona or New Mexico who would have some pups?
Thanks guys.
