A friend of mine is looking for a heavy Finley River and or Spring Creek bred male. He has a good old female that he wants a pup out of and want's to stay with that blood. It's hard to find that line where we live so hopefully someone could help him out. It doesn't matter if he is titled he just wants to breed to a coondog.
Thanks

We have one bred like that for him to breed to. Gr Nite Ch 'PR' Van's Hard Knockin' Stylish Abe is the dog for you to breed to. He has Finley River Chief 6 times in 7 generations along with hevay Johnson's Banjo stock. He is also a direct son of Gr Nite Ch Hard Knockin' Stylish Hayes. He is 10 year old, didn't start hunting him in hunts until he was about 8 1/2 years old and was finished out to Gr Nite Ch at the age of 9 1/2 years old. He quailified for the UKC 2004 World hunt and also won his cast this year up at Autumn Oaks at the age of 10 years old against Gr Nite Ch 'PR' Five Toe Tommy Joe(2003 Autumn Oaks winner), Gr Nite Ch 'PR' Brett's Hard Treeing Jesse, and also a Gr Nite Ch dog off of Nitro. Abe finished the cast up with 500+ and was ahead of each dog in the cast by atleast one coon. He was never treed with another dog the whole night, and we never walked to a tree that he didn't have the meat in. If you would like to come down and hunt with him at the age of 10 years old, give us a call at 502-935-6994. Bring your lights, boots, and your best hound and we will turn him loose anyway you want to see him go.

A LOT MORE TRACK AND A LITTLE LESS TREE. HE CAN'T TREE A COON THAT HE CAN'T SMELL

THE LINE OF DOGS I HUNT STARTED OUT MOSTLY FINLEY RIVER BUT OVER THE YEARS WE HAVE MADE SEVERAL OUTCROSSES. I DON'T KNOW OF VERY MANY THAT ARE HEAVY FINLEY RIVER BRED ANYMORE. THERE IS A DOG ON THE TOMMOROW'S LEGEND VIDEO NTCH FINLEY RIVER JAKE IN MS. THAT IS FINLEY RIVER BRED AND LOOKS AND SOUNDS LIKE MOST OF THEM DID. HE IS A GRANDSON TO FINLEY RIVER LONNIE ON BOTH SIDES. IF YOUR INTERESTED I'LL WATCH THE VIDEO AGAIN AND GET THE MAN'S NUMBER.

GRNTCH FINLEY RIVER TURBO MY DAD'S OLD DOG AND THE DOG THAT TAUGHT ME HOW TO COON HUNT. THE FEMALE I'M HUNTING NOW IS A GREAT GRANDAUGHTER TO OLE BO.

Not sure where your from but I've got a friend that is a die-hard Finley River man. He has an old male dog (NTCH PKC CH) that is as Finley River bred as you can get. BIG dog, tight on the ground, one of the loudest, hardest treedogs I have ever hunted with. Call Mark @ 603-286-3112

with Finley River/Spring Creek dogs. The dogs were excellent in all respects - coondogs with good looks, temperament AND hunting ability.

Hi Chris,
Richard C. Allen still has the Nite Leader dog in Mississippi and he has a nice young dog called Risky that is heavy Finley River. Mr. Allen is super nice fellow and he knows about Finley River dogs, not just the name. Of course, you know about the Boomer dog and Tilseth's from Wisconsin purchased Jackson's Champ from John Monroe. I know Monte Jackson that raised Champ if you are interested to know more about him. Gary Brown from Illinois has kept Finley River/Lone Pine dogs, also. Richard Phillips from Illinois also has kept Finley River/Rock breeding.

The Jake dog that Dave Freeman mentioned was sold to Stan Carson and I am pretty sure they lost him. He was out of Allen's Nite Leader. I can probably track down some phone numbers if you need to contact any of these folks. Good luck!

Does Lonnie Mears do any hunting these days, or does he just show dogs?

What's he got?

I will say that the best Walker dog I ever hunted with was Gr. Nt. Ch. Holman's Spike. He won 10th in the UKC world hunt in 1989.

He was a grandson of Finley River Dan on one side, and Crowding Billy on the other.

Super hound, but trashy if you didn't keep him hunted down. And keeping him hunted down was almost a full time job.
