I hear of a lot of the UP Michigan boys running this blood and that it does well in winter. Is that typical of this bloodline? Do a lot of them tend to "open early" when the conditions are ideal? Anyone out there have anything off the "Dan" dog that show his traits?

To answer your question.

I have judged and ran with quite a few of the michigan "Mississippi" hounds. Yes, Mississippi Dan had a tremendous nose.
Dan was the only one that i knew of that had a -20 degree nose.

Search the board for "Matt Duby" I think he has some Dan pups right now and would know more about Dan's offspring.

Also Rob Fetting has an excellent son of Dan's called "Danny Boy".

good luck,

Terry Sudduth is/was the owner of Sudduth's MS. Homer. His number is/was (662)842-1756 according to the Rabbit Hunter magazine. John

I've spoken with Terry a little. I guess Im just trying to figure it out if a dog like Mississppi Dan was a fluke or not. Lone Pine, have you used any of that blood to cross with your Rambo stuff? While I'm thinking of it, has Rambo produced anything like himself?

Yes, i crossed into Terry's line once.

I bred to an inbred Homer male named Legue's Southern Buck.
Buck was out of Homer and Homer's daughter Sissy.
The cross produced a RCh named Legue's Scamper.
Danny King now owns Scamper.

Now i have bred back to Scamper and Scamper's sister and have gotten good nose, search, line and check.

I feel the cross added nicely to what i already had.

I'll PM you for more info.
