Boldstroke Kennels
Posted: Mon Mar 10, 2003 2:28 pm
Just wanted to say Hi to Bev and Don. I haven't been posting for some time as I am going through devorce procedures. The dogs and line itself is still doing very well. Becouse of the trouble I had at home and my marriage I almost sold out but I wouldn't give aq lifes work away too cheap. I haven't advertised in years and have 97 calls for dogs.
I haven't been mass producing hounds and probably won't cause great hounds shouldn't be in mass quantitiies. Congradulations to the new owners of the pup Boldstrokes Slim Stretch for his quick Champion title as well.
And congradulations to his new owners. For showing what dogs of this line can do again in the pubics eyes under any judges ..Stretch was sold at the first part of gun season as a young 8 month old pup Started here. Sold once to an abusive owner and stood back up and showed the raw power and aggression against all odds to Champion-his story was nothing short of incredable. He started his first rabbit circling at 4 months old. He should be around 14 months old by now and easily and quickly tittled a Champion hound. He as many others that have proven reproducing & bred correctly from here Makes all the odds get out of the way of achievement.- THese hounds will continue an impressive record with the main concerns of hard hunt and drive. This is and should be what beagles should be all about. Getting these results took years of time and work effort.
I will continue to breed the many proven reproducing hounds when I feel its right. There are many more Champions to come as easily as him and all in the past. Many others too could have and did Win there tittles as well, with no more trouble than a kids cake walk. Costing little for the tittle in entry fees becouse of there make up.
At this time I have put the sale of any of the hounds and reproduction of this type on a slight hold. ((beware of counterfits) Call me if you need to know what your buying if you want one of these hounds. as I am the only person responsible for there purest quality, capibillities, & breeding. (When available) Wether from friends of mine or myself give me a call first to safe guard what you get. I know who cares about what there breeding, and those that want to use one dog to simply use the lines name and outcross to anything that has a tail to sell an unlearned buyer. I also know some will try to take my years time in as there credit and change the name of the hounds.. THis only hurts them and there dogs as folks like these hounds as pure as they can get them. but This will not change the dogs abillitie. As I made them what they are. This practice Of taking credit for a well developed proven line is simply a show of weekness that is a sad thing ! This practice can and did abolish many past lines in time as always in the past eventually they dissapeared and where lost! If you don't want a proven great don't buy one or change there inherrited lines name. The lost lines speak for themselves in there extinction. I assure top hounds to arrive that are now growing and getting into there 14th month of age to come for there winnings as easily as all the others before. With enough hunt and drive to drop many other hounds in the worst heat and coldest weather. (As they have done and from selective breeding will continue to do)
The boldstroke line is alive and as hard hunting as ever! through the inherrited factors of the many years of genetic art work.... Some of the finest proven hounds with well thought out selective breeding for some of the best working hounds you can find today.To give those that do get any dogs of this line years of happy aggressive hunting as always with proper handeling and training.
Stretch was bred at 8 months old because I new from the breeding of over 40 years what he could do, & saw what he Did with a rabbit early on. This was no mistake!!! He as all my hounds from here are well planned genetic breeding. He had his first litter due before he was sold at 8 months and the owners of his young pups are so happy with the performance of there Young 4 month olds incredable hunt and and over achieving field tested desire to run that there will be a story about the HUGE differece in what type of pup they got compaired to what they owned in the past. This story will be in the Rabbit hunter Magazine.
Im sorry to have had to put those that wanted a pup on hold as I couldn't do more than I was able. Nothing good is too easy!
For those that wondered-Im not dead yet.. and these hounds will last for ever for those that care to practice the better breeding of One of the finest hardest workers I ever had the pleasure to hunt with of the many hounds available.
I am very happy with the real storys and letters I have recieved.
I wouldn't change one thing about this line. Any fool can buy a great prospect and destroy it with no sence of knowing how to train and unfortunatly I have seen a couple do that. but I have never seen any hound I have kept from this line not run well. And for the amount I have had thats saying alot. Jim Brown Boldstrokes Sonny is running well if you call me.. I lost my personal phone book! Even though he was stolen (this pup) and laid up those important months he is now one running fool!!! like a duck to water as usual!
Looking forward to seeing his brother Boldstrokes Gun this year and Boomer, in the trials as Im sure him as the other young hounds you got from this line are going to do well. I know you and a few other happy owners put in the effort and time training. If I wasn't sure it was in them I sure wouldn't say it. The fantastic thing is they came from all different fathers and Boldstroke relatives.
Im sure they are impressive like all there well ran and selected related relatives were before to keep there own aggressive style..
Good luck to all and all your efforts as good concearning beaglers.
Hope you had a good year! Gill Davis Boldstrokes@msohio.net

They tried to fine me even more money than I already spend for selfish gains when they saw three pups 12 weeks old play in my yard out of the same gyp! For not wearing different colered callers 100 a piece- I told them to stick it ! And she had no idea of what good breeding takes. I new this from the questions I asked her. She was here to make more money. She couldn't care about what it took She wanted to justifie her reason for being out there without care of anything but more money. Since she had that attitude- She lost my respect, and all the money I had always been sending them well over 40 years between my dad and myself more like 70.. I registered and recorded all AKC pedigree's and turrned My Entire line over to UKC same thing Yet better. not greedy. ANd they care about true hunting stock they even ask what the beagles are for. Beagles are made for the common hard working folks that want something real to hunt with- There is not enough made in the selling of many pups even to justifie all you should spend in time and money on this particuler breed . if you count your money spent your so far in the hole if you do it right- you'd be a fool to even try to raise beagles for cash. It has nothing to do with money. I do it for those that want something good and appreciate the time efforts, money I spent in time and expence and knowledge of the breed with respect, of the right way it takes to make them top performers over and over..
