Critter

I have thought about breeding a good female to Critter some time. If you go back into Critter's Ped. far enough I believe you will find Jame's Gr.Nt.Ch.'PR' Honey Run Brandy I. Brandy was out of My Ohio Hammer II Dog and his Daughter. Making her Double Ohio Hammer Also. Hammer II's Dam was Rattlin Blue Angel by Gr.Nt.Ch.'PR' Doc's Blue Little Man and Gr.Nt.Ch."PR' Clover Creek Blue Honey which was by Gr.Nt.Ch.'PR' Emmons Brush Creek Blue and Nt.Ch.'PR' Emmons Brush Creek Kate. James Had a lot of Blood in his dogs that I liked a lot. I have not forgot about Critter Yet. I liked old James and we talked several times. Dave P.S. Ohio Hammer was by Hammer V and a Female out of Hussler II and Pansey. Pansey was by Trapper. A lot of Good old Blood from every where in this dog would be my way of thinking.

Critter

Mr. Woofter,
I am sorry to report that Tom had to bury Critter a few months ago. Lost him to cancer. I wish Critter had been bred more. I truly believe he had a lot to offer and could have helped the breed.

The good ones leave this ole world all too quick it seems! I like you would have loved to see the results of more females being bred to Critter. He put some pretty darned nice hounds on the ground from his limited breedings, definitely didn't hurt the breed.

Critter is another prime example of an above average hound & reproducer who was owned by a common man who could not afford to promote one at a National level. Not anybody''s fault, just the way the cookie crumbles. I have been fortunate enough to have been blessed with knowing Tom & James, & to be able to throw some food every day to some potlickers whose origins were spawned from their efforts!

Mr. Woofter, you are correct, ole Brandy is back in there multiple times. I've noticed a lot of these hounds have a very distinct quiver to their locate. James told me that trait came from Brandy. I'd be curious to know if your Ohio Hammer dog or old Hammer V had that trait. Pretty darned neat trait, & mind boggling how it is still showing up multiple generations later!

Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year to everyone!

Thanks For The Info Sandy

I really believe that came from Ohio Hammer. Hammer had that type locate and I was told by a lot of people he had the best locate they every heard. On 1 to 10 he was my favorite that I owned of all time. Sorry Critter is gone. I never knew that. Rattlin Blue angel only had three pups in that Ohio Hammer II litter and they were all males and made good dogs. One got killed in PA while his owner was hunting him. I don't think I ever sold him another dog that pleased him. I sold Angel before I knew how good the 3 pups were to a boy that lived 6 miles from me. After I found out about the pups I went to buy her back and the Boy's Mom had her fixed. I could have cried if I hadn't been so old. Anyway I know James loved old Brandy and that was a good thing.

I'll have to check out the locator on Ole Elmer the next time I hunt with him. I only got to hear him tree the other night but he was spitting some different barks out for sure. lol. Justin hunted him the other night for two drops but didn't strike anything. He said he went .62 miles on the second drop which is a pretty good poke thru the country down there in those hills. Justin seems to like him so far.

Critter

Mr. Woofter,
Those dogs and crosses you posted and the men behind them, sure does bring back old memories. Shows my age. Heck me and Deric are just happy to have a daughter and also a grandson of the Critter. Thanks go to Tom McClary, Vic Stoll and Harry for what we are hunting now. Good luck with you future crosses.
