Hammer was owned by Robin Wheeler that lives north of me an hour or so up near St. Joseph, MO. I never hunted with Hammer, but I always heard good things about his ability. He did a fair amount of winning when he was young, but I'm not sure how much he was hunted later on. He also was used by Scaggs and Mcelroy in their breeding program and there are quite a few dogs around that go back to him, as a result. I don't have his reproducing numbers in front of me but if I remember right, they were pretty good, percentagewise. I bred my Ruby female to him in '97 but he was pretty old then and it had to be done AI and I got no pups. I later bred her to a grandson of him and got a few nice pups.
