Gary, Slewfoot was a very nice special hound. His brothers and sisters were the same way. Not just one in that cross made a top notch hound. That my friend did not happen by accident. I seen hounds out of Ellis Blue Jim and April that was equal to the speed. Not sure about the endurance to run all day. Stinger sire of Slewfoot influenced with the cross of Fly sure put the speed in this cross. Stinger crossed on Lou produced another litter of speedy hounds some of which the running walkers couldn't hold to. Another cross on Stinger that Don Hoefferly made off a sister to Lou produced some top of the line hounds.
We all know that Tree Daddy sure did his part on reproducing top coon hounds.
Stinger on the other hand put the crazy speed endurance in his offspring. Most of his offspring were stemwinders.To much for the average coonhunter. Bear hunters,yote and bobcat hunters loved the Stinger offspring. I've lived it seen it first hand wore my pickup truck out driving across the states pleasure hunting and competition and no haven't won everytime I entered up but I know the cast knew my hound had the right tools and brains,endurance to get it done.
I'm saying its in the gene pool. Track speed and endurance and heart of a hound goes hand and hand.
I've strived to keep and produce top quality hounds tweaking this line since 1989. I've had my ups and downs made a few outstanding crosses a few dud crosses. I don't think anybody thats wants to put speed in there line could go wrong with anything that goes back the Stinger and Fly cross. Legend and Lou cross, Penny and Ellis Blue Jim cross.The Huck dog of Ken Hitchcocks is a top male closely related to Penny with some of Dennis Upsons hounds in the mix. When looking for crazy track speed, endurance to run day after day a hound that will hold up. These hounds and crosses are as good as they get. If your looking for some horsepower go get it.
The good ol internet is a great place to start. But boot leather and chaps is perhaps the best tool for the eye and ears we have. Good Luck and may the track hound survive the tree hugging coonhunters we have today.
