My son bought a female blue pup. We've been researching the pedigree and had a few questions about some dogs we saw. Any help and reports good or bad appreciated. Basically, the pup appears to be down from heavy Littlejohns Little Arkie breeding (75%) on the top with some Slifes Blue Rambo, utchman, Castleberry and SR JBS Chief thrown in. The bottom side is harder for me to figure out. Bottom has Jet 6 and No Blue Hammer 18 and Sebastian's, and Utch Ranger Ranger 5 but there's others I wanted some input on:

First- is it fair to say the Littlejohns Arkie stuff originated from Vaughn X Utchman blood?

Moyer's Blue Chubbs - someone told me they thought this may be Utchman dog?..ranger line? Is that right?

Dolberry Blue Buck - guy at work said he thought this came straight off Vaughn's stuff?

Cottonwood L. Cry Hi Ball? No one I've asked seems to have a clue.

Ellis' Rock Jim Bo. - someone said that may be off Carl Ellis' dogs? Would that be Smokey River stuff?

Grnitech Grch Dark Blue Delta? No clue?

This pup looks to have a lot of different blood lines mixed in. I guess some would argue that's good (ie genetic diversity) and some not so good (perhaps not bred tight for consistency). Interested in opinions? The pup is very young but seems to be very smart. Time will tell I guess.

I realize I'm throwing out dogs from generations back, but this seems to be what this guys foundation stock (the guy my son got the pup from) came from in part anyway. Thanks again for any help or opinions.

Dark blue delta dash is Jet 6's grandsire on his bottom side. I believe he goes back to Utchman's Hawk

Moyer's Blue Chubb was out of Davis' Blue Scooter. Davis' Blue Scooter was out of Uchtman's Rebel, I think.

I believe if memory serves me right, the dog might have been born in Michigan-- Bill Anderson breeding. the Cottonwood part was definitely
Terry Siers of Hampton Ill.
Terry and Bill Siers both had several hounds in the 70 that were real good ones and I am pretty sure that one was Hi Ball
I also know they both had a lot of the Sebastian stock
as did Bill Anderson.
Terry and Bill hunted bear with Mr Sebastian a lot.

Thanks for the help Matt and Ken! That was very productive. Still wondering about the Ellis and Dolberry dogs if anyone knows?

Thanks Driftwood for the Hi Ball help. Very interesting.

I may post a few more when I get back to the pedigree.

Still interested in honest opinions about the Littlejohns Lilltle Arkie stuff? You won't hurt our feelings either way. We don't have a lot invested in this pup....yet. But if she keeps doing the things she is doing I may.
