-- Yadkin River jeff (http://forums.ukcdogs.com/showthread.php?threadid=928477485)

I cat hunt with a couple of fellows and they say the two lines they look for in walkers are Yadkin and Nance. They swear by their tracking ability. I have owned neither line for coon hunting but can vouch for these guys dogs.

Yadkin River jeff

Some of that track power still around, yadkin River Deacon, give Pete Barber a call (336-244- 6817) I hunted this line of dogs since the late eighties had dogs with sailer breeding before that most of the dogs we back in the day, had the same grandparents and great grandparents.

What I like about this strain of walkers is that the good ones run with that head in the air makes them good in water and fast on the ground

Tar

Is there comparison in tracking ability between Yadkin river and finley river hounds?

Jeff

Sure there's comparison, both were very good strains of trackdogs.

There were 2 things I did not like about Yadkin River dogs. And it might have just been the gyps they were out of.

Light yellow heads and a bit one man type dog

I bred two gyps to Chico and that was my experience

However, I went with some very nice Yadkin River dogs. That’s why I bred to him.

I think that's why rattler x lipper worked so well lipper took a lot of that one man dog stuff out of them but I seen a bunch of light eyes and light head out of lipper too but lipper was yadkin river on the bottom through mr shives dogs a lot of people don't know that.

My deacon dog was out of yadkin tar chief he was out of rattler and Missouri candy she was heavy Finley river up close and ozark preacher that's where that color comes from on my dogs deacons mother was out of rock river rocket he was out of sacket junior x Rudy she was out of rattler they are just about the same kind of dogs except for this dingbat out of reezon I am hunting now. That's why I always try to go back to Jeff because they remind me of those dogs I started out with no quit , accurate , drive a coon hard. That's what I like.
