Yep,there it is! Thanx Chris!

I know I could do a better job of "BTT'n" it but not that concerned about shovin down others throats. I think that that is largely why the split to to many forums happened to begin with but not 100%?

A top hound is important. I have found that what I believe a top hound should be is a bunch different than most. The deal of making their owners happy is possibly the most important.

Thank you for the update Jeff! As I told ya,he was my pick of the litter & deffinately sounds like he's cuttin the mustard

Just happy he's gettin a fair shake & thank you for that! Rekon your fun is but just gettin started good. Sounds like a fine young hound for your son to grow up with & learn the ropes.

Thanks again!!

This is Lady Gaga, AKA Katie. She's out of Bum and my female, Diamond. she is one awsome pleasure dog and the best pup trainer Ive ever had. Not a mean bone in her body and straight as an arrow. she seems to find a coon anywhere, anytime. and she's heads up winding type. beautiful mouth with a real nice chop on tree.I like her. I started 3 pups from this litter, Rebel is a coon treein machine that I sold to Josh Grassman In ohio, Missy Is owned by John Gill In ohio and He's gonna finish her to Gr nt he says.

"Bum" comin seven yrs old in a couple months. Don't seem possable but I guess its true.

Except for his face turnin white ya wouldn't know it. As with his son, I doubt he can compare to most, but he can stumble on a coon here & there.

Welcome for a hunt anytime. He's not afraid'ta speak his own language with his son's,daughters,grandpups & great grandpups that are on the way. Give me a few months to get them goin.

Interested in utilizing him is a matter of private treaty.

Lota nice hounds outa him
