Doc
Quote:Steve guffey: Both are big and very loud,very well built good legs,chest and nice broad head with dark muzzles. Where did they get the grit from,both are coon killing machines.

Yellow River Doc "a very special hound". He was a large bone dog and had a very big head. Saw him pick up a big live coon in his mouth, crush and shake it to death in probably 5 seconds. It was so fast, it was like a blur and the coon was dead. That's how he did it. Doc was a very hard hunter that Struck as soon as he smelled coon, then wasn't real mouthy, just opened now and then. Hard steady tree dog with a loud tree mouth, pretty accurate. I hunted with him when he was young (2 or less), he was an especially nice competition dog. Also hunted with him when he was old, he hunted too wide when he was old.
Many wonder why Doc never got his last win toward GRNT. When in his prime Doc was only put in the big hunts like AO, breed hunts and the Winter Classic (he won). Doc suffered a knee injury that required at least a couple surgeries when a young dog. Then later Doc was shot in the face with a shotgun, while treed on a cast. Some of the cast died, Doc survived after a very long recovery. Seemed like after he was shot, when put in a hunt he would go about a mile before he would start hunting, that didn't work out so good in the hunts.
I'm pretty sure Doc's picture was on the cover of Coonhound Bloodlines once. Redbone or Winter Classic issue, not sure which.
Harry Oumedian and Jeff Murphy have GRNTCH Stone that is a son of Doc. He reminds me alot of Doc. He hasn't been bred to very much, but from what I have seen he throws the good kind.
