I have heard that they were red and white mostly and most were taller than fifteen inches like eighteen and could make game move out. Someone else may know more. FullCry

there were some tri color and red ones...but most were lemon and white from what i could tell. the original breeder (from what i have read) was trying to come up with a totally white color for his dogs..not sure that he ever came up with one. although i'm sure there are some 13 inch ones around...all of them i ever saw were in the 14 to 15 inch range....good hunt for the most part and hard hitting for the most part. i did see some that had excellent line control and were still pretty quick, but the majority i saw run were plenty close enough to hunt with but not really what i call close line control. but if you like hunting with the super fast ones i would think they would suit you. i have probably seen around a dozen or so run that were 3/4 or better patch bred...so i'm not claiming to be an expert...but overall i thought they were a pretty good bloodline from what i saw...hope this helps.
