We'll after a couple years of being on Chris Torrence's pup list looks like April or may I should be getting one. I had some unfortunate and unforeseen troubles his last litter he raised. So I have been bugging him and staying in contact the last 2 years and he is gonna give me pick of litter. Man how stand up is that. He says I been so patient that's the way he wants it. I have no been hunting with the old type blues since high school 48 years ago. These are the type hounds I grew up with, bawl mouth and just sit back and listen to the race. I am excited. Also I started getting Full Cry again after 4-5 year skip, was surprised that there was no article or column about the big blues. Thanks

well good luck getting a good one. post some pics and keep us updated. i haven't gotten fullcry in many years myself. mostly for that very reason not much hound related content. it was really focused on curs and squirrel dogs. they did have some coon hunting but that was the extent of it. so do you have pictures and descriptions of your pups mother and father?

al...congratulations on getting a pup. There are still a few of us that hunt these old blues and like the way they do it. We still get together a few times a year to hunt, swap lies, and eat and you are more than welcome to join in at your convenience. Let us see pics and pedigree when you finally get it.
