i just purchased two female bluetics and they have utchman,smokeyriver and hammer bloodlines, does anyone have knowledge of these, and will should they be usefull on cats and bear given these bloodlines. these two females are around 15 months old and i am hoping to breed them with a cameron soon? Randy

I have Utchman and Hammer bred dogs that really like bear. Although we don't have too many cats in my area the breeder I got my Hammer bred dog from was big into cats so I would think they would most likely do fine on both.

I had a smokeyriver bluetick that was a real good bear dog and would stay with a mean bear all day by himself. He wouldn"t work a lion track on the dirt.

I have a smaller smokey river bluetick that is good on cats, biggest fault is he is far from kennel quiet.

thank you for the responses, i think this was a good purchase by the responses now it is time for training and working them to see, and they are smaller framed and also appear to be kennel quiet, so far so good i will keep you updated!! thanks again Randy

This is news to me.
I never new u bred a hound before it was proven in the field.

RANDY IT WAS NICE TO HEAR FROM YOU GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR NEW PURCHASE HOPE THEY SERVE YOU WELL IF YOU CAN POST SOME PICS I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM I DO HOWEVER AGREE WITH HIPSHOOTER I WOULD NOT WANT TO BREED A UNPROVEN HOUND JUST ON A WHIM OR A WANT JUST MY OPINION GOOD LUCK TO YOU NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO LARRY

The hammer dogs I have been around were slick treeing fools. Not worth the powder it takes on cats.

Ditto what Hipshooter said.
