can anybody tell me about this line of hounds,,,,,,how they hunt,,how they run,,speed,,,,,,

thanks,,,,,

From what I've seen, Gay bred dogs have above avg. hunt, med./med. fast speed, pretty good line control, most are very good looking hounds and a little extra mouth is their biggest fault. If you run ARHA LP, gay dog will be a step too slow. I've got a few in my kennels and they're good dogs, but geared more towards SPO than LP.

if i ever trialed it would be pp

Sent you a PM.

Here are a couple website's. The first site is of Frank Reese the breeder of the Gay Hounds.

I had some a few years ago, that had hard hunt and decent speed. They were linebred back to Gay Time instead of Baker, with a cross of New City Crusier. Actually granded four out in little pack.
