Melody Bill

I am looking for information and pictures of Grntch Melody Bill, I know he produced Ntch Bear Creek Princess who was the mother of Owens Hardwood Bozo, but I would like more information on Melody Bill, Who owned him? where was he located? did he produce anything else note worthy? I heard he was a really nice hound in his day.

Thanks,
MT

did get to hunt with old bill a few times, been long time ago, remember as one of the better dogs I had the opportunity to see in that era, walkers were not dominate back than and were far better track dogs than tree dogs, bill had it on both ends...

Grand Nite Ch. Luke The Drifter was a Grandson of Melody Bill. Lukes sire was Reider's Little Bit who was out of Bill.

Luke placed 5th in the 1974 ACHA World Hunt. Here is a link to an ad on him on our website.

Melody Bill

It's been a long time, so I'm not 100% on this, but : I believe that 1975 World Ch. Tenn. Lead had Melody Bill behind him.

Good Memory. Tennesse Lead was a grandson of Melody Bill on his mother's side. Here is a link to an ad on him with his pedigree in it.
