Ole Legend is a nice Hound. One of the few I've seen that was a big hunter, could RUN a bad track, but could also tree laid up coon. That rascal was like a machine when he was younger, treed those coon one after the other all night long.
I have owned two offspring out of Legend.
The first was a male out of the Six Pack cross. They don't all make the grade, and unfortunately he ended up being a cull.
The second was a male out of Runnin Jodie (Runnin Gun x Turkey Creek Fanny). He took right off when I started hunting him with an older dog at 7 months old. Running track and treed at 8 months old. At 9 months old he started split treeing some. I singled him out at 12 months old and he kept right on progressing. He would go just as hard by himself as he would with company. He was not the kind to check back in. Nice stay put tree dog, not ill in any way, and a nice looking hound. If I had to fault him, he would locate around too much before he settled for my taste off an older track. He had just an average mouth, and he also lacked layup ability in spite of both parents being excellent layup dogs. I lost him to a freak hunting accident opening night of the 2015 kill season.
I have hunted with multiple offspring from the Legend x Lou cross. Image, Bo, and Prodigy. All were nice looking, went hunting good alone and with company, had above average mouths, and we're stay put accurate tree dogs.
I hunted with a female from the Six Pack cross multiple times. Baby Six was one of the hardest going blue females I have been to the woods with. Above average mouth, good looking, and a stay put accurate tree dog. Very very nice gyp!
I also hunted with a male one night out of the Star cross owned by Sparky. Good looking hound, went hunting good, above average mouth, and a whale of a tree dog who would stay put and have his coon.
In summary, the vast majority of the offspring I have hunted with have made pretty nice hounds. If I had to comment about a common trait I've witnessed it would be giddy up. Dogs that go as hard by themselves as with company.
I plan on owning and hunting another Legend offspring in the future! I kind of like em
