Grady - Tink is one of Maggie's great great great somethings, she's in the makeup. There was a litter out of Reb and a niece, a littermate of Lightning's, The ones that lived made dogs, I know that for a fact when they ran a couple in on me .... I found out later what was pulled. They had 2 coming out of Reb and threw in a grandson of Maggie's into the mix . Reb was getting 1st strike and tree but there was seconds between them all instead of the normal times I was used to in competetion hunts. As many win slips I had filled out with the names, I didn't know until 2 kids told me about having dogs with my old hounds in their pedigrees, that it dawned on me.
The bad thing is they didn't breed the dogs, as they figured they could never get one like them, I wish they had as I have seen the same exact things generation after generation, and didnt have to make close cross to do it . For some reason the line stayed stable, didn't have the wild swings like you get with some lines. They normally treed before ever running, had 4 month old pups leave out to get in on a tree without being worked with the first time. I guess Joe was right when he got on to me for asking how to break off deer ahead of time .... "Boy don't do it, get that strike on a deer or rabbit, there is enough tree bred into them dogs that they will stop and tree the first coon they cross , that the way to make Champions". I have gone through 6 generations I hunted and bred, have one with dogs in 4th- 6th generation another with them in the 5th- 7th , that I bought instead of bred, and have yet to see one pay any attention to a rabbit. I Haven't even had to worry about deer either, except for calling dogs in and the dumb things trying to run over me as the dogs come in. Anybody know where to buy batteries for the original tritronics 70, as they have died without me ever getting to use it, who knows maybe someday I might need it .
