My best ever favorite hound of all time, is a hound named PR Nethery's Sara Pearl.
I bought her for $100 from my good friend, Joe Hamilton from Hemphill Texas.
Her whole pedigree is from hounds that were owned by my friends I went to highscool with.
She was not hunted or trained when I got her.
Her unusual name came from the fact that both the owner of her mother, and the owner of her father both had Mother in Laws named Sara Pearl.

She cought on quickly, and is the most accurate tree dog I have ever seen in my life. When she trees there is a live animal in that tree, most of the time a Coon, but ocasionally a Possum. LOL

I have to say my all time favorite hound was a Spring Creek bred walker dog called Speedy, I bought when he was almost four, gave $200 for him I had $100 and and sold a sewing machine for the other $100.

The fella I bought him from said he milled around at the tree. He came off the tree on the first coon he treed for me when I had him on trial, I got after him to get back on it and he went back. He had never been hunted alone, I hunted him for a year all by himself and after that first one he never came off another tree. I can count on one hand the number of empty trees he made in the 8 years that I hunted him.

He wasn't loudest or fastest but if he started a track he finished it. On nights when the weather wasn't maybe fit to coon hunt he always seemed to come up with a coon. He handled better than anything I had before or since, when you got home from hunting you could open the dog box door and tell him to get in the pen, he would run acroos the yard about 35 yards go in his pen and turn around and wairt for you to come close the door. He treed his last coon at 12 years old on a cold Jan night.

well I sold a pup to a fella in OK by the name of Robert Shelton. 4 yrs later I had to have her mother put to sleep. Robert, being the man he is, called and offered this little female back to me. She was already a GR CH when I got her but had never been in a hunt. I have to admit with all the warnings I got from Robert I was figuring on just a nice little female to hunt.

I was told
she doesnt hunt well alone
she checks in after about 15-20 mins
she doesnt like rough stuff to hunt in

I hunted her through the fall and I didnt see any of these so called problems. In the spring this little female and I went on quite a winning streak and had LOTS of fun. Robert and I kept in touch and had a freindly competition between his female and mine as to who got wins during the weekend. I ended the summer with a dog that made NT CH with 3 first place wins and she had 4 wins towards GR NT, qualified for the world hunt and was Queen of the hunt and show at a BBOA swctional here in iowa. Season came here in iowa and my hunting partner as well as My sons and I were having alot of fun with this little female. Then one night, while hunting she stuck her head in a connibear and was killed instantly. My oldest son hasnt hunted since.

GUess I'm rambling. Anyway, thats where my favorite hound came from.

GR CH NT CH sheltons Mae. Rest easy princess, I still miss you

Got my favorite from a friend who just couldn't understand why she wasn't running and treeing her own coon at 4 months old. Gave her to me one night. Never a dull moment with her. Off of Tri-Color High Cotton. R.I.P. Katie.

My favorite hound is a walker female that I bought from Perry Simms out of Amory, MS. She was 2 or 3 when I bought her, i was in the 10th grade and was just getting into coon hunting seriously, I paid $400 for ehr that doesnt sound like much but for a young boy that was alot of saving some money lol. She was and still is my pride and joy Lucy is 7 now and doesnt have the get up and go that she once did but I still love her. I could turn her loose any night and tree a coon (GREAT PLEASURE DOG) me adn my good friend had lots of fun with her and his B&T female that died a few months ago. Well around a year and a half ago me and Lucy was hunting by ourselves and she treed by herself before i could get to her some wild dogs chewed her up BAD and nearly killed her, I rushed her to the vet and spent all night having her sewed up. She pulled through but isnt the same ( I cant blame her) She hunts fine but is still afraid to tree by herself she will tree with dogs she trusts but she just isnt the same and it breakes my heart. I bred her to WIPEOUT SPECK and got me pup out of her to remember her by. I guess they will have to put me down the day she dies lol.

HERE SHE IS. . . 'PR' SOUTHERN PRIDE'S LUCY







HERE IS A VIDEO OF HER TREEING (had the meat)



HERE IS MY PUP OFF OF HER AND SPECK (3 1/2 months old now i dont have a recent pic)
