Finley River
Since I have started back to hunting after a 15 year layoff, I have read positive and negative comments on the Finley River strain. The "strain" had/has several branches. For instance, line breeding the same family, a related family line breeding, or an outcross. Not all crosses reproduce. Some have outstanding individuals, but will not reproduce. Examples of various crosses would be Finley River Dan and his sons and grandsons. Finley River Dan and Finley River Joe. A cross that endures to this day with great success is Finley River Dan and Finley River Pete known as Lone Pine. Numerous modern day studs trace to this cross. As with most crosses, garbage in/garbage out. Who made the cross? I am currently blending several families of Finley River hoping to recapture the dogs I used to hunt. Good looking, hard hunting, track driving, big mouthed hard tree dogs with good dispositions.
