being brought back into mainstream breeding. Hey guys you need to do your homework before you make that next cross.

After a few years of breeding to this current line of stud dogs being thrown at you month after month and getting thousands of pups on the ground. Look at the 1 year to 2 year old young dogs out of these super studs and they are back up for sale at a discount rate and more than that.....read what is being said...
1. will go with other dogs
2. hasnt been hunted much
3. Hasnt been given a chance
3. makes some trees
4. will tree an easy coon
and on and on it goes....and these are dogs that were being sold as $400-$1,000. weaning age pups.

This is insanity at the very least and what it is doing is watering down the walker breed. We should take breeding very seriously and I would dare say that 90% of the studs in todays market cant reproduce themself. I talk to lots of coonhunters and hear story after story how dogs are being made gr. nt ch.'s all day long that they cant figure out how they do it. I know of one personally that cost over $ 2,000. at weaning age and is going to make gr. nt ch before she is 3 years old and cast after cast her handler is doing everything within his power to get dogs kicked out of casts, claiming he's seeing coons that clearly arent there and will flat out bully his way over young judges and make her a titled dog and will probably breed her to some big time big dollar stud and they will produce worthless pups that many of you will buy.

I believe drifter has the bloodline and the coon treeing ability and DNA to put reproducing pups on the ground that can run a cold track, run it to catch, and be accurate. he wasnt drug around and cheated into his title. I have heard from men who went on casts with him and have hunted with him many nites and they all say the same thing. He trees coons not trees and looks good doing it.

I just happen to like the spring creek blood line and think it is the best blood you can add to your kennel and keep us all in good hounds for years to come. give him a shot.

I have been breeding the same stock of dogs for a long time and they go back to a cross I made on spring Creek Radar who is in these pups pedigree about 10 times.

I breed for intelligence first and foremost. If you have that, I personally believe you can train a dog and get it where you want it. Thats why I have personally stuck with this line of hounds. I believe and have heard from others that drifter is a highly intelligent hound. Sounds like you are off to a great start.

Please keep us posted on these pups. I believe they are going to be something special as they get older.

have owned some of this stock and almost 100% of them said that the dogs they owned were once in a lifetime hounds.

I knew when I saw this pedigree and started making some calls that I was on the right track. I believe that Dennis has a tremendously bred hound. I think time will prove me right.

You cant have a pedigree this loaded up with coondogs and all reproducers of coondogs and not throw good pups. The perfection of line breeding in this cross still boggles my mind.

old pic of Sid coming later....

Many that hunted with Sid said he was one of the best they ever hunted....many that hunted with his son Chainsaw said he was the best they ever hunted.....sons and daughters of chainsaw many that owned them said they were the best they ever hunted.

This is DNA reproduction. It is still flowing through Drifters veins.

You would have to get semen off an old dog to get the blood that is fresh and alive today in Drifter.

and breeding to DRIFTER......
I have heard that some very big name females are being booked to breed to Drifter. Also heard from a pup from the first litter off of him that ran and treed the second night in the woods and did in style with a mouth like a monster.
Drifter is a dominant DNA reproducer. He is what I call a pre-dominant stud. which means he can reproduce no matter what line of female you breed to him.

If you see a major female being bred to him, I would book a pup. These pups are showing to be super intelligent, athletic, and very very loud.

responses on the first pups by drifter that are 9 months old.
I knew he would reproduce. Thats why I chose to help Dennis run this post for his dog.
Dennis is a straight up guy with a coondog who is proving quickly to be an unbelievable natural reproducer of Natural coon treeing ability in young dogs.

I highly recommend you contacting Dennis and breeding those nice females to a real reproducer not a want to be reproducer.

Dennis is in St. Josephs. Mo so you guys in Kansas, Northern Ark and western Mo need to check this dog out. Tremendous mouth and his pups do too.

pups off of Drifter....talked to a couple guys that have them and I have a couple here that are very smart and very gamey and they are just about 10 wks old. Will fight a rubber boot for as long as you have the patience to do it. Will not quit. You can not let them out of them pen unless you want to hunt for pups in the woods. I have a big running pen and if and when I let them out, they hit the woods and dont care if I come looking for them or not. Will just plain leave. I have had to go hunt them down twice.
Thats pretty darn good for a baby pup.

His pups are turning it on. Even heard about a 10 wk old pup treeing a kitten coon along side an older dog.
there's one from the first litter thats less than ten months old treeing um like a freak of nature.

pretty darn gritty and bold for little pups. I am telling you if you turn them loose now you will have to get on something that rides to go looking for them. Thats just unreal. I have raised probably over 100 pups in my lifetime and I cant remember any that had that kind of get gone unafraid attitude for baby pups. I have had some after they got 4 or 5 months old that would do that, but not 10 weeks old.
They just dont care if you want to go or not. They are on a mission. I believe when they get about 5 or 6 months old we may have trouble on our hands. haha

I have a trap set now and when I catch a coon we will see what they will do. I heard when the first litter was about that age they sent every cat within miles scattering.

I think cookie was the one that started the poor boy name. that cross on Sid set it off.

send me some pics of your dog. have you bred him yet either. You may have some kind of stud on your hand.

Like your name Glen beck and your tv and radio show on Ch 212 on Dish network...You're brilliant............
