my best gundog now is brankos cruise control. helipropx baba bonnie betsy. hunts hard. minds better than most kids. never need a leash. runs to catch and does get a few. will retrieve when the rabbit is shot and will go all day. he will be missed when he is gone. the best gundog i ever saw was half wienerdog half beagle. go figure.

How many of the dogs listed are Field Champions.
Back in the 70's the SPO movement started in order to promote the "Gun Dog" If that movement was a success, this post should have been several pages long and dominated with Field Champions.

I wonder what happened?

Thats the way my Dad and Grandpaw were,they didn't care about the breeding they wanted dogs that pup meat on the table. I do love the beagles-fire and heart in a small package. Mountain Music Dixie is a Rabbit hound,I'll miss her when she goes till then I'll give her every chance to do what she loves and excells at.

If I had to choose one it would be Brad Adkin"s Ol' Rocky dog. He can still do it but in his day man could he find and run a rabbit.

Truth is if I had to depend on my dogs from time to time I would go hungry. LOL
Now if a friend of mine would loan me his NAHB CH. Crackersneck Mutt. I would eat and eat good. I have hunted against that dog several times and still get my butt handed to me. Im not forsure about his breeding, but i am forsure about how good he is. That dog can out hunt a pack of dogs. I truly feel sorry for the dog from time to time. I have seen him come in and cry out when you touched his ears. There would be blood dripping from them. He is by far the best 2 maybe 3 year old dog I have hunted with.

My dad and I like GRCH GRHBCH WHITE RIVER BEAU OF TOUCHSTONE the last three times out we got 8, 7, and then 8 rabbits. 4 each is our limit in Ohio. All three hunts were less than 3 hours with Beau running solo. Never had to kick a bush. No hard walking, and he handled great. We have never seen a rabbit dog as effective gun hunting as Beau. He is one dog that is all business. Dan M

From what you have told me about Miss Dynamite and from what I have seen from Dusty that would have been an ideal pair.

The Best hunting hound I ever had was Windy Hollow Sam. This Hound would hunt from daybreak to dark. He never had a check, Never. his breeding was FC. Valli Hai Hershey x FC. Laurel Hill Sue Ann.
Sam hunted hard for 11 years and when he slowed down to 3 hours and his legs would just quit. I would carry him back to the truck. He would see the shotgun and be all excited right up until he died at 13 years of age.
