He was a natural outta the gate and a PRESSURE tree dog !.Ace was born about 3 miles from me, ive Hunted with Ace many many a night and traveled many miles with him(tried to buy him once when he was about 14 mo old) brings back alot of good memories. Ace was a Straight up coondog and just a winner who liked to get by himself and would stick it in ya in a hurry and i dont ever rem seein him run any junk . when u cut him you was pullin him off a tree somewhere shallow or deep didnt matter and he'd have a coon, he was very accurate and in our country coon is thin , u need a dog to go yonder but pass up the trash as the trash is thicker. Had he not been so tight on track he would have been worth alot of money IMO. Had a good mouth when he used it. When i read yer comment i really chuckled... you just never know the guys out there and whom has hunted with certain hounds when they change hands. Thanks ! I can tell u know Ace as well. He was also bred to a few local females and has thrown some nice pups ( to the ones who had a chance) . Most of which now he shows up as a grand sire. Ace made the top 20 one year and dominated alot of casts he was put in esp local.. I know several who will appreciate yer nice comments and ill pass it on to them.
Your welcome  . Not long after Ferrari and I took.....geeze I don't even remember what female it was now........down and bred to him, I got a call asking me to come pick him up and promote him/buy him/find the "right place" for him.
As I said before, I REALY don't like hunting male dogs, and I already had Looser....and I rarely let a female back up to a male the RARE times one is even around here........
Marty wanted him though so we went down and got him. Over the next several months we hunted him and Loose togather, and Ace impressed me. Loose was the kind who took his tracks as he came to them and put a coon at the end regardless. Ace was the type who just liked to get under a coon. They were different types, and ALMOST NEVER ended up under the same tree togather. but I came to appreciate the mesh of styles.
