What a great job he is doing. Its not hard going out and contine to win after winning world championships. Thats impressived no matter who you are. It takes good handler as well. Good job Brian and speck. Congrats Todd, Brian, and especially Speck. Great Job.
Oh yeah you to Shane. Just kidding, you did a great job. Congrats to you and big mama. Tim
Speck has won a World Hunt in two different registries and a major event in a third one. I guess that dog don't care what kind of rules he hunts under. Congrats to his owner and handler.
He doesn't have nothing to prove, but i think he's showing to be one of the best dogs of all time. I would love to see him run the purina race. I like him a lot. I look for him to repeat in the akc world hunt. Its a bold statement, but speck is a tough dog and he has a good handler. JMO. Tim Bolden

I drew out with Speck Friday night. I've got 2 words to describe Speck. Coon Dog! He impressed me and he's got a good handler too. Don't tell Hartrum I said that. LOL

I was thinking the same thing yesterday when I saw that Speck had won big at the Classic. He didnt need another big win to put him among the best at the big hunts but this one puts him over the top in my opinion.
Its one thing to get a big win and retire, but you boys are putting your money where your mouth is. If I were a Walker man I'd give you some of my business if for no other reason than you are willing to put it on the line. No disrespect meant to anyone but while others are running their ads and talking about pedigrees Ol Speck just keep winning.
If you do run the Purina race it may be one of those years that I'll decide to pull for a Walker (unless there is a serious Plott contender. lol.).
For what its worth a die hard Plott man want to give you a big CONGRATULATIONS!

Don't Understand
quote:Originally posted by elvis ive got a nickel that says they will run and win the purina race this year with speck.
I know Todd and I have drawn Speck on a couple occassion all coon dog. Won Two World Titles but why take a chance on a stud dog that Speck may make and have something bad happen to him for a mere $3000. Most of the time it cost more than these folks can make running this Purina Race. If anything keep him tuned up and try for the UKC World Hunt. JMO!!!
PS. Congrats to the Hound & Owner & Handler for their showing at the Winter Classic. Job well done.

this is Brian Hartrum i am at John Teeters house we have just arrived back home from the blazer shop from retrieving all our prizes that speck and BIG MAMA a.k.a. Susie and my good buddy Shane won because the boss man Todd Brady dont have us a big enough truck.[lol] Shane had to haul the majorty of our stuff home. I thought i would check in here and see who was all talking bad about us. Old Speck and I are going to try to keep up on Specks winning ways. And thank you to every one of you that has complimented us and speck and susie. and a great big thanks to mike and shane groves for what they have done for me. and a speacial thank you to mr. kelly of the k light company for all he has done for the Wipeout Speck pup program. As many of you may not know Shane and his family are going through a very tuff time as his mom has cancer. So lets keep shane and his family in all of our prayers.

keep on rolling Brian. When a good dog and a good handler get on a roll its a thing of beauty.
That Shane is a mess . LOL
I always hope to draw him. Its garanteed to be a good time,win or lose.
Tell him i said hello and i will say a prayer for his mom.
i have had the prevledge to hunt with speck i really like the the way the hound gets in the country and tree a close coon and he can tree has a nice mouth me and john walkup own milcreek queenie which she off of mill creek molly and out stone. i think it is great that a man keeps hunting a hound that wins if you beat him makes you feel better which he will lose but he will win also brian is doing a great job also he has a very tough female susie or bg mamma this past weekend was no joke she is for real. great job. just remember the pictures and trophes bragging right are for us as for the hound he or she just wants turned loose and do what they like if there obove average they just like it more.
