White Clouds

You know I have had some great hounds, fast, extremely cold nose, hard drive, non quit till the finish line. These dogs were White Cloud Walker Hounds from Rodger Holland. Rodger bred these dogs up and made they right crosses. I had a dog named Roper that money couldn't touch. You know, almost every good dog around here is out of him or a real close relative of his.
Rodger always spoke and talked very highly about is friend John Lastokin, up in Canada. He said John had all the right stuff, when it came to White Cloud dogs, cold nose and great big game hounds. Rodger often spoke about the amount of bears in John's country and what a great place to train bear and lion dogs. I received a dog from John about a year ago, this dog is doing great, in the next year or two, it will be the top dog. Litter mates to this dog are also doing the same.
I tip my hat to guys like Rodger Holland and John Lastockin for producing the quality of hounds they have. If it wasn't for them and one or two others, the breed would be lost.
I have seen so many people breed these top performing White Clouds to other breeds of top performing hounds. Hey, the cross works at times and sometimes very good. But after that, when you breed them again, you lose, from what I have seen.
I have been fortunate and had good dogs, good friends like Rodger & Benny Holland, John Lastockin and Leo Fisher. Thanks guys for your great breeding programs and keeping those upper end White Clouds alive
