Believe it or not most have died for one reason or another.
I hunt with a 70 year old man that has a two year old female (second cross) that can tree layups, runners, cold trailing and she is only 38 lbs and sounds like 100 lbs. If a coon goes in a hole or log pile, she'll go in and pull him out.....real grit without the aggressive behavior towards other hounds.
There was a dog around here called They Call Me Toby (first cross)that made gr nt and PKC Ch with very little hunting and died two weeks after making gr nt at 2.5 years.
Michael Rosamond the former owner of Toby told me that Toby struck a coon in a Lake bed and ran him so hard that when he got to the tree, the coon was gasping for air and you could see his sides go in and out from him breathing hard.
Dog Called George (second cross) was making a nice dog but was killed by a car in Arkansas.
I hear of others but haven't hunted with them.
I also bred a nite ch to the sire of this pup a couple of years ago and only one is still alive today and doing well.
Just seems like the good ones always die young.
