ZOE

First breeding took place this morning!!

Thats awesome buddy I hope she has 10 put me down for one I well give a deposit for sure sorry things didnt work out for me last time I was going through a tough time give me a call when you get a chance zoey has throwed some nice dogs she crossed really good with Reggie

If all goes well we should be having puppies around Valentines day! Super excited!

I tryed it and i got to slowe of a dog along with lots of over bite . Where i live you have to have a dog that can stay 20 to 30 yards behind the rabbit and on public land the rabbit run 300 to 400 hundred yard with out ever stopping.
That cross i had was great on privet land because the rabbit only hop hop then run a little and sit down and a slowe dog can stay on them close. But not on public land the rabbit are hunted day and night. When you shut your car door they take off running for several hundred yrds so your dog has to keep his mouth shut and have a cold nose with a tight mouth and move up on the rabbit fast. No boo whooing around on the track and that is why after three years of breeding that cross i HATE IT
But hay if it works for you stay with it cause that is what makes beagleing so much fun . Differnt styles of runnig for differnt styles of runing conditions
Just not my cup of tee . Never breed because some one else breed. Breed what you want you will be much happery that way
As i say after lossing a trial I feed my dog because he makes me happy ( NOT THE JUDGES )

I got one of those slow dogs lets go run together sometime

That's strange because every Indian Hills bred hound I ever saw or owned had plenty of foot.

(No boo whooing around on the track and that is why after three years of breeding that cross i HATE IT :angryfire.) Don't know what you bred (must have been good since you bred them for three yrs. ), but I have seen Luke and plenty of dogs in his pedigree run all the way back to FC. Rebel Run Johnny Reb and I can promise you that NONE OF THEM come close to being boo whooing dogs as you stated. In fact a lot of these dogs in the pedigree would make some of the field champs today look like idiot's. I guess it's just not the flavor of the month.

I've owned and bred out of indian hills for twenty plus years and have never had one that didn't have enough foot. The ones I've had could find and run rabbits where other can't. Should be a good cross Luke is a nice hound

Thanks guys for the kind words about Luke! I appreciate that. He's still a rabbit machine at 10yrs old & still has good foot to boot!

Luke is a very nice hound and I have seen some nice dogs by him. Glad to see he's in good hands.
