Is there anybody still running Steve Matthes's line of dogs? I know of a couple of guys that have crossed in other lines of dogs but I was wondering if there is anybody that has tried not to outcross to much and keep the line going.

Does anybody know kyle shelton in Lamar Colorado? He has a website that says he runs matthes hounds. It sounds like there are still a few men out there that run these dogs but I've heard some mixed feelings about them. It doesnt sound like there aren't many on here that have had experience with them but if there are I wouldnt mind hearing about them.

I don't believe Ernie Strahm has any mathes hounds left.
