What were some of the fastest dogs you saw run a rabbit? I'm talking about dogs that can stay on the line and leave other dogs behind without loosing the rabbit, lots of speed with enough control that they always know where the line is.
I know you don't need wind splitters to kill a lot of rabbits but the good fast ones sure do make it more exciting.

Hog Dog from Ohio. I don't know what his registered name is. I seen him at the World hunt just flat out leave dogs. He didn't break down. The Scooter dog owned by Kevin Monroe beat him, but if we would of run another 1/2 hour I believe it would of been a different story.

I had an old man recall a story like this a couple of months back. He said he was at a trial, I don't know where or what kind, and he saw a male lead the pack by 50-100 yards the whole day. The dog was so impressive he said he had to bred to that hound. Then he told me the name, Ali-Baba. I'll remember that story for a long time.

There is A dog named sting in southern Ohio that could run off from dogs and still control the track. I owned him from 6 weeks to 2 years old watched run with A LP. grand and LP. champion gun hunting many times was allways froint dog sometimes 50 to 100 yards in froint. I sold him when the money became to much for me to refuse. The man that owns him gun hunts only. He runs know trials he would be 5 years old now often wonder how he would have done in LP. if ran in it.

Our dog Rowdy is the fastest male I've seen that runs almost all the line, and can swap ends at the turns (lol) if need be. He's not AKC reg. so we don't trial him there, and sometimes he pushes a rabbit so hard they won't circle, but go into another zipcode so we don't campaign him in UKC. He had 4 win's toward his Grand by age two in ARHA, but we don't have many ARHA LP clubs around us anymore so he will probably die needing that one win... ugh!

Aside from Rowdy, Logan Elm Blue Skim was right up there, too. Fast and could hold a line.

The fastest female I've ever seen that can stay glued is Mark Ross's Rocksie Girl. She has nine gears and uses them all. When I saw her run, she was busy whooping the tar out of our fastest female, and she was mechanical at the time - had been hit by a car and had replacement parts in her. I shudder to think before her injury...

I'm sure I've seen faster dogs than the three mentioned here, but purely raw speed, and not so much line-running.

again my answer is Showboat, and a new dog I have seen just here recently is TK"S Round Mountain Jake.
He isnt mine but all i got to say he is for real

Pine Mt. Chester

Is this Wayne Waits' Chester dog? Black and tan? If so, I only got to see Chester run one time when he was a young hound. He was pretty awesome, then. Soundly beat the dogs in his cast first round at the World Hunt. I can imagine how he matured!

!

Bowmans Easy Rider,he has slowed down in recent years but in his day I dont think too many dogs could keep up with him.

GRRCH Ludwigsons Dairy Sis (Wisconsin)

GRRCH Ludwigsons Dairy Bull (Wisconsin)

Duncans Good Golly Miss Molly (Indiana)

Anyone remember Crain's HH War Bonnet???? She could GO!!!! But not Half the speed as above dogs.

jeff browns spade dog that got 3 at the little world is the fastest dog on the line that i have ever seen i

Mark,
Spade is a son of Chester. Ive hunted and ran with both. While Spade is probably one of the most powerful hounds that have been around in along time and one of the fastest. He still can not hold a candle to the old man. I would love to see them ran together when Chester was that age. Chester would have blown his mind. Course I had the priveledge of getting my hounds gutted by Spade all last gun season so he is up there on my list too.

Bev, Might be the Chisel dog that Wayne Waitts owns. Chisel is an impressive hound. Wayne lost him a couple years back and finally found him after hed been attacked by coyotes. Took him forever to get over that one but he still competes Chisel and Granded him out about a year ago. Would be interested to see how good hed been if hed not had the trauma.

I havnt seen a ton of fast dogs like many of you have.....but I have seen Duncans Molly dog run, and good golly Matt and Jesse had talked me into going to a LP trial once....and all I had was Ranger and a dog named Fluke. Fluke is a good ole boy but he is a tad slow for PP, but anyhow I got cast out with Molly and some others down in Petersburg Indiana....I have never seen anything like it! One of them dogs jumped a rabbit and the run was on.....we stood on a hillside and watched that pack just slowly ease away from my dog, 50 yards, 100 yards, 200 yards so I ask Jesse "Man should I pick my dog up" and he says "Heck no, he aint hurting nothing, they aint pulling back" so I leave him down, within 10-15 minutes the pack had circled the rabbit past my dog, I sit and watched amazed as my dog got lapped!!!

I have also ran with Rowdy and man he didnt have a problem circling them to us that night. Ralph took me out to show me a little female I wanted to buy and we took Rowdy along. Rowdy hit a rabbit and the show was on, the female I went to look at ended up giving up and going and running her own rabbit(which was cool)...but Rowdy circled several rabbits by me in the couple of hours we were there.
