The American Beagler Forum

I think this will be interesting to see what everyone thinks. Here is a list of bloodlines I would like everyone to rate. 10 being the best and 1 being the worst. Only rate these bloodlines if you have ran with dogs from these bloodlines, not by what you have heard.

1. Patch
---a. hunt/desire
---b. line control
---c. conformation
---d. check work
---e. speed
2. Northway
---a. hunt/desire
---b. line control
---c. conformation
---d. check work
---e. speed
3. Turbo

---d. check work
---e. speed
4. T-Rex

5. Bramlett

6. Dingus

7. Branko other than Turbo

i can rate the bramlett line:

A. 9
B. 8

From what I've observed I wouldn't give the Patch bred hounds that I've seen as high a marks for speed that some have. I think they show good desire,hunt,line control,checkwork but have not thought they possessed alot of foot.JMHO

well you need to see my blue dog run if you are looking for speed and he is all patch

i could give my opinion on many of the hare blooded dogs i think everyone views speed and hunt different i don't consider hunt and desire the same i have seen many dogs that have alot of desire to run a rabbit but lack in brush busting hunt as for branko and have some and seen alot of them and some of the fc run 8-8- 9-8-9 thank you
