Re: Buzz Anderson ?
Down in the southeast most all hunting dogs ran loose till up in the 60s. Most every body was too busy working and didn't pay any attention to their dogs till they saw their female start showing sign of ( finding puppies) and that was a little to late for selective breeding. The female dug under the smoke house when it was time ( to find puppies) and a few weeks later the pups started finding their way to the outside. The ones that looked like old rattlerwere accepted as good enough to keep . Actually there is no telling what all is mixed in these dogs. I think they are all canine.
Re: Buzz Anderson ?
The July breed were Irish hounds and the basic color at the time was Merle and brindle and the light or white eye came from the Irish.fox hound breeders kept very good records and they didn't breed for color.all fox hound breeds are related most tree hounds have English and Irish hounds in their back ground even plotts and curs.
Re: Buzz Anderson ?
The name July came from a hound by the name of old july

Re: Buzz Anderson ?
The walker,July, Trigg, goodman were the only running dogs that fox hunters had in the north part of Mississippi where I grew up. The walkers were mostly saddle back b/t/w ring neck a few open spotted. The triggs were about the same color but ran a little smaller than the walker. The July were a bright red or nearly orange saddle back or spotted, solid orange to light yellow with ring neck and white points. They had flag tails with a little hair on back side of front and back legs, a little long hair on stomach. Goodany were a lot lighter color with some calico head and ear. I do remember seeing a little blue/grey bridling on some. I don't ever remember seeing a dark brindle running dog of any kind back then. Any ideas?
Re: Buzz Anderson ?
The famous Trigg hounds of Kentucky descended from the Irish hounds in the following manner:
In 1860, Haiden C. Trigg, an enthusiastic hound breeder (whose sporting nom de plume was ( “ Full Cry”), began acquiring hounds from George L. F. Birdsong, of Georgia. Among these hounds were several by Mr. Birdsong’s famous Longstreet (1860), descendant in the sixth generation from Dr. Henry’s Captain (1838) on the sire’s side, and in the fifth generation from the same dog on the dam’s side. Longstreet’s pedigree shows five crosses of Captain.
The Birdsong, or July, hounds of Georgia were derived from the descendants of the Irish hounds of Dr. Henry, and a dog named July obtained from one Gosnell, of Maryland, in 1861, and imported to Georgia by Miles G. Harris. Mr. Trigg indicated that Mr. Birdsong was satisfied that July traced back to Captain (1838) and the original Henry Irish hounds. (1928, Joseph B. Thomas)
July was name after the month of July, because in Georgia it was very hot in July and the hound July, could handle the hot summers with ease.
By the way, a brother x sister cross.

Re: Buzz Anderson ?
Some of them are gritty enough also some of them will rig but are not the best rig dogs i've seen,on bobcat anyway.Tracking and treeing are their strong points.

Re: Buzz Anderson ?
I rarely look at the coon hunting column but glad I found this.
I have 3 littermates from a Buzz cross and they do a good job for me, I hunt cat, bear, coon and lion with them and they are good cat dogs on dry ground as well as good cat strike dogs off the box. They are the best cat dogs I have had so far and I used to think I had good ones years ago.
I've always suspected there was a little something different back there in the woodpile, hunting with friends running dogs/crosses the only legitimate difference you see is coat color lol.
Anyway I was curious others asked, is Buzz still still breeding some pups now and then?
I sure would like to get another one for some further crosses in the future.
I'm also still looking for a nice male to breed my female too...needs to be a cat dog and catch on bare ground.
As far as those big houndy dogs being synonymous with southwest dry ground dogs from what I've seen out here I don't think that is true except with certain bloodlines people have kept going, I know several people here that cross GSP into their lion dogs and they look just like tight faced running dogs.
