Reproducer
Well I don't generally make a practice of throwing out sales pitch's or bragging about my hounds but with T I feel compelled to say a few words about his exceptional ability, brains, drive, accuracy, loud, tree, looks, size, and an overall companionship.
Jimmy and I have been hunting our entire lives and have always strived to make the breed of our choice better. We are not dog traders and you will never see us selling or breeding trade dogs as this will only weaken the breed. We are very adamant about breeding for all the qualities we all want in our hounds.
T was finished to GR NT CH in about 18 hunts despite my lack of handling ability, he was able to reel off 6 wins in a row at one point. He did almost all of his winning by treeing more coons per night than his competition. I bring this up because I have been asked what kind of coon does T tree, my reply is always (any kind) which is how he was able to double the amount of coons treed by most other dogs in his casts. I did not judge a single cast and had only a couple of incidents that left a bad taste as handlers would try to best him.
With that said, T is also out of the current #7 reproducing male in EXY and the current #10 female in GRNTCH Martin's Midnight Angel. I believe this dog is destined to be the same reproducer that his ancestors are.
So here's the deal folks, this is not about money, fame, or fortune, it's purely about the sport and the breed we love and having a stud that we feel very strongly will add value to both. While UKC, PKC, CHKC titles are a great way to determine a dog's ability, I have witnessed a great many hounds that had no title at all because its owner had no desire to enter a registered hunt. I personally have very limited time to travel all across the country chasing one registry let alone going out of my way to try to get money won in other registries. In the end we are willing to breed to real coon dogs for FREE. But we would like to reserve the right to a first pick pup if we so desired.
Thanks for reading and we look forward to seeing you soon.
