does anyone know anything about stan meacham or his hounds. heard he had a good string of dry ground lion dogs. interested in learning more. thanks

Some of the best

I have owned 2 of them and they were cold trailing lion catching dogs. Both were top notch dirt dogs.

There are some recent pics of them on here some where.

You will go a long ways to find a nicer guy than Stan. I think very highly of him and have a tremendous amount of respect for ol Stan. He is one of the few men that I can trust to buy a dog from. I know if Stan tells me that I will like a dog then I will surely like that dog. He is a straight shooter, nice as they come and has over 50 years of experience chasing lions. He is over 70 now so he has kind of left the breeding to his boys Clint and Mclain who he taught very well. Both Clint and Mclain work on the lion study here in utah and their dogs get hunted.

I have spent a good bit of time talking to Stan about his dogs and although I cant remember everything he told me I remember him mentioning some dogs that have been crossed into his dogs from men like Smith, Hendrix, Shelley, Emett, Tant, and Butler to name a few. My favorite crosses since I have known Stans dogs are from the Hank X Billy cross and Stans old majestic female crossed onto the Allen or Emett dogs. Clint has a super nice dog named Ike who is throwing some exceptional pups crossed onto the right female. I have a good friend that cant talk about anything else but his Ike pups. He says they are cold trailing, tough dogs. If you are interested in Stans dogs there is no better person to learn from than Stan himself. It would be well worth your time to give him a call.
