By the way Beau also placed in a Gundog Brace fun hunt.

Bushbuster's Beauregard championed in PP, LP and Bench. It was my understanding that he was only the second hound to have achieved this.

Tame rabbits seem to leave a better scent trail than wild rabbits. They do not jump as far. They are bigger etc. They do poop out quickly. I have crossed Dutch with San Juan and like the cross better than either of the pure breeds. They work better for starting pups, but not for long. A Started pup ...

Brian, the blue color used to run in the Bramlett line. I still have one blue in my kennel. The color seems to have been crossed out at my place. I used to have them regularly in my litters, but I haven't had one in several years now.

Regular exercise is as good for your hound as it is for a pregnant woman. I have run a bitch for as long as 8 hours on the day she delivered. This was done out of ignorance and I would not advise it. However, running a pg bitch is not a bad thing. A couple of hours 2 or 3 times a week would be good ...

I am Emery's Monday running buddy. The best dog I ever owned was injured jumping off the tailgate after a day's run. The vet was not able to help him. I talked a chiropractor into treating him and he recovered completely. I had this happen previously one other time. This dog recovered on his own aft...

I have had trouble giving the 7 way shot to just weaned pups. Some of them will break with coccidiosis. I prefer to give a 5 way shot until they are at least 6 months old. My vet says that it is the lepto in the shot that causes this.

I suppose the price of a pup should depend on what age and stage of developement it is in. 7 yrs. ago I kept complete records of the cost of raising a puppy to the age of 6 weeks. I had $75 in each pup at that age. The cost of food, meds, etc. have all gone up since then. I recently sold a started 7...

Back 40, Sorry, I can't tell you how they turned out. I traded the whole litter for a bitch that I wanted. The litter was sold by their new owner.

I had a bitch that had 11. I buried a new flattenned pup every day until she got down to 4. I had another bitch that had 10 in every litter. She raised 7 each time.

In the good old days when you generally didn't know exactly what day a bitch was due(you just put them in the same pen and they bred when they were ready), you ran them until they let you know that it was time to stay home. I am not proud of this, but I ran one bitch for 9 hours the day she had her ...
