SOME POSTS ON THIS THREAD
JOHN II
Early Starting, Hard treeing Stay put tree dogs
BULLET II
The old dog threw hounds that anybody could train to their way of hunting. Very fast on track and true one bark tree dogs.
BULLET AND RATTLER
it seams to me the bullet and rattler dogs realy cover the country and most of the rattler dogs have a pretty lose mouth on strike jmo
early easy starting, one bark quick locators, fast-usually leading the pack, good mouths, stay put tree dogs with good locates and changeovers, if they are doing something they wont pull bascially no matter what, if they dont have something going on they will pack, competative type dogs. not mean or agressive, but will stay treed.
hunted with enough Bullet dogs to know that they tree layed up coons more often than most lines of dogs.
SKUNK CREEK DOGS
Skunk creek dogs are the best track dogs I've seen go,not just stick yur nose down and work there the kind that run with there heads up LOOKING for a coon not just run around till the find one,of all the blue dogs I've hunted with skunk creek dogs have the best head on there shoulders when it comes to finding a coon and getting him to a tree!
JET
Im a jet guy and love them. Only thing I believe would have put them over the top would be nose power. Not saying there's not crosses out there that don't have colder noses but the older jet breeding where pretty medium nose hounds. I'm making a cross now with my jet male and my levi female that should put alot more nose in them. Easy handling fast starting. jmo
CLEAR RIVER JIM X CLEAR RIVER SLAMMER
They seem to put brains, mouths, pups that hunt naturally, start real easy, like to wind, and they look up because of the winding. Accuracy vs amount of trees, color domination, and how soon their pups mature is the difference in what the two brothers throw in their pups. The bad is they will throw some dogs that do some chewing on the tree ( a complete fault to some and not an issue to others), they will run some junk but smart enough to be broke easily, and CR Jimmy's pups want to be real accurate(again preference).
WILLSCREEK
my hounds are generally very intelligent,easy to start and natural treedogs with little or no chewing and no jacking(a peeve of mine),i have worked to keep a 65lb tight built male with a nice blocky hound head, with most being saddle backed---they have much better mouths than the ones i started with and are virtually trash free when handled correctly,they also hunt the way you turn em as this is something i really must have along with being accurate from the time they start treeing......they have proven themselves in competition for 6 generations now under my guidance.........my hounds please me and i dont need to raise 50 pups to get a nice one anymore.
i am always looking to add a hard hunting, lock down on the locate,stay put treedog to the mix but its the individual strengths and weakness as i see it that dictate the individuals that are mated................most of mine will get the track moving before they get struck--like it to be a little quicker but hate a loose mouth and will not hunt a silent one.
SHELTON MORRIS' OLD BOOMER
One thing I would like to bring up is the All Blue, (no tan trim) dog. I am hunting some now that go back to Shelton Morris' old Boomer stock. As a general rule, they run with their head up, pretty darn quick and know how to tree and you don't have to cup your hand to your ear to hear them. Back to the All Blue thing. It seems that no matter how good a dog is, coloration sometimes henders them. Why is that? English folks don't mind and I've seen some dang sorry walkers as well. Good is good no matter the size, color ect... I've had good luck with these dogs and I think I will keep them for a while. JMO, which won't get you much these days.
RAMBO II
I've hunted with enough Rambo II dogs to know that Rambo II put loud mouths,independence,and good conformation in his pups.
DANCER, SON, HILLBILLY, JET 8, GAUGE, GROVER, DOUBLE BARREL DURANGO, PIE, BRUMMY
The ones that I've hunted with on this list don't care what another dog is doing, they actually prefer to be split, are willing to go hunting harder and FASTER than the competition and are wanting to get treed not waller around on a track all night and will stay treed until you get there.
SUGAR
The Sugar female I believe passed on a trait of being competive with other dogs. I have hunted with a few going back to her which were better in a cast than alone. They just will try twice as hard to beat the other dogs. In the last few world hunts several go back to her Saline Sadie, Layup Lucy, Bocephus, Flo, and I think last years male of Mr. Duncan. Not to mention all the other good dogs going back to her.
