Just for the fun of it. I would like to know and others probably would to. What are the characteristics of the certain type of lines that people have hunted and stuck with. What makes them stand out. Good and bad!!! What would you like to change? Be as honest as ya can please. No put downs or slams just good honest answers.

The lines of interest.

Rabble
Outlaw
Fireball
Pepper
Moonlight
And any others major lines I have forgotten or don't know about.

A good dark red, good ear, square head, put together right, open on track so I can hunt without a tracking system, bawl on track, nice locate and chop on tree, set back from tree with company or on the tree by themselves, hunts with me and for me(hound that checks in), good track speed as long as they don't beat the game to the tree, brains, one that wants to please the person that pays the feed bill and they get along with man and other hounds.

I own a shovel, so there is no "what would I change". This is just my opinion after 55 years of hunting with hounds---"if you need to change something about what your feeding, your not enjoying what your hunting?"

I have fed a whole lot of hounds in the last 20 yrs but I have never fed one that I would not have liked to change something about them. But I am still looking for him/her.

I have bred into the Yellow River line and here is what I have seen. That line usually will produce a dog with an above average mouth some will being extremely loud. Most have a big locate.The Yellow River dogs normally are tree minded and will learn to tree easily. They are built houndy and have well set eyes and strong boned legs. They tend to be tighter on track on average. Good noses and can move a track with good speed. Things I didn't always like were some are very independent almost to a fault. I have seen some that were silent on track. they can be hardheaded.

I really like these dogs and that is why I used them, even when they didn't always do things I liked they were solid coondogs. Harry is a good friend and a fine person as well.

I agree with you. I have liked a lot of hounds but most I would like to tweak a bit. I guess thats why I am still messing with breeding a few. Trying to make the tweak stick… One thing these dogs have is get gone type dogs. Gonna try and get II granded out this year. Also have some nice young prospects I have been working with.

I got my first T-Top dog who was a younger sister to Rabble in 2002. I had another sister to Rabble a few years later. I've been using that bloodline with a few exceptions in one way or another ever since. I suppose it's the "bloodline" I've followed. Most of my dogs before that were from anywhere.

I love it because I can work with it. As a whole, those are level headed, trainable hounds. They are almost always good and loud, big locates, tree hard, and want to please you.

What I would like to find would be a little more open on the ground. That is just me. Some may see it different. Either way, I like that blood a lot and think the outcrosses on it with Midnite Pete were especially powerful.

Kelly mentioned Harry O. as a friend and fine person and I feel the same way about Tom Solberg. Seems like most good "lines" of dogs have a good person behind them.

I have a tight bred Fireball dog and a couple or three tight bred T-Top dogs. My Fireball dog puts more emphasis on the track. He will grub an ol' track like a ****tick sometimes. He usually will finish the track with accuracy. The T-Top dogs seem to want to get treed faster and may not mess with a bad track much and will drift to pick up a better one to get treed quicker. Guess it depends on the night which one is best. The one thing I am amazed with T-Top bred dogs is that they tend to be HARD tree dogs that don't seem to get themselves in trouble.
