Are these direct sons at public stud?To long ago how come no one built a line around any of his sons?Like the Clover line or Finley river, Is there any yadkin river strains out there built around Tar Rattler?

Sure is. Yadkin River Chico was off Rattler. Got him multiple times in the pedigree of my dogs along with a dog named Tar Jr.

Well Jesse after breeding these dogs for over 35 years if I thought they had any weak points I would like to think if I'm worth a hoot as a breeder I would have bred it out. I actually based my breeding on old Yadkin River Tom, the dog Jim Meeks said was the fastest track dog he ever saw. I never got the opportunity to hunt with him but I did a lot of his sons and daughters. I liked the fact that they had exceptional speed, exceptional nose, housedog sense, good treedogs and few cared about off game. I watched whole litters become better than average coondogs. I even built a local reputation as a dog trainer when basically all I was doing was putting them in the woods and giving them opportunities.
Tar rattler was a great grandson to old Tom and sired some mighty fine offspring.
