Thanks for your questions Rocky.
It's my understanding that Jake's oldest litters are in FL and are winning....call Michael O'Neal about these..... We are told that Jake spent a long time recovering from a rattle snake bite (along with Insane Jane) when he was younger that delayed his being promoted at stud....Brandon Hathaway can give more info.
Here are the qualities we see in Jake that he should put in his pups. Hunt & trail.....Jake goes hunting hard on every turn out...not a straight line hunter, not a dead loner , but hunts as deep as needed whether he has company or not, doesn't let other dogs influence him. Jake seems to know where to go to find a coon and has good accuracy,showing intelligence....He has an exceptional loud horn bawl on track and a colder than average nose but....Jake DOES NOT straddle a track, mud hole or stand on his head! If he can't get it straightened out quickly, he moves on. He drives a track to catch with good speed.
Tree..... When the coon goes up, Jake seems to smell him in the air and gives one or two powerful locate bawls AS HE COMES UNDER THE TREE. Jake is a quick locator...he DOES NOT circle the tree bawling for 5 minutes before settling on it. Jake is a hard, steady, slobber mouthed, pull pressure tree dog. Jake is a first tree dog, and if he tree's over 200 yards away, any dogs that cover him will have to be pitched in by their handlers, because they can't be heard! Jake is a gentle, friendly hound that likes attention. Any dog that IS WILLING to tree WITH HIM can do so. He IS NOT ILL. Jake DOES MAKE MISTAKES, but is an exceptional hound.
Jake is a very likeable hound and a pleasure to be around. He has had several homes in the past, but is now home to stay. Hope this answered your questions Rocky.
For those that feel I must have stretched the truth in this post, please call the long list of references on Jake I gave in a post above.
