I know and have seen the on-line pedigree on him but was interested more in his speed, size, mouth and conformation. Also real curious in his producing ability.

Don't know much, butta alot of guys who run 13" hounds consider him pretty influential in the LPH format and wish he was still kickin. I am new to those lines too. Where in southern Indiana are you ? Always looking for others to run and compare and talk hound with.

Wardog,
I've only seen a couple of dogs out of him run. They mostly stay on the east coast. As far as his producing ability he was again Better Beagling's top sire.

I have a son out of ranger dan and fulcount misty. He seems to have lots of hunt and desire, his speed is med/fast with good line control and a pretty good check area. He has a brawl mouth. Getting ready to start trailing him in the fall.

I'm no real expert on Ranger Dan, but I've seen him run and I've owned dogs off him. I think he was medium to medium/fast. He was under 13" and blocky built -- not real athletic looking, but he did well in trials. He didn't win on the front; he won by outchecking dogs. Don't know if he had a nose because I've never seen him go in tough going. The best one I owned off him was medium speed, at best, and ran a pretty good rabbit. Not the world's best nose, but he could run on all but the real tough days. He was great to train a young pup with and if he wasn't so small he'd still be here.

Like any other dog, the pups that Ranger Dan threw dependeds a lot on the bitch he was bred with. He did have a very impressive field trial record, if tha's your cup of tea.
