I would like to hear the good and bad about patch hounds, you own or have seen

I like them for the most part.

They have good hunt, and most can roll. As a line of dogs if they lack anything it would be nose, or they can be tight mouthed.

On the plus side you dont see many Patch dogs coldt trail, or be too mouthy in general.

I have had 3 and liked them all. I sold one earlier in my days just because I couldnt train it right without a collar to break it off deer. I think one thing that has helped , for the most part, people who breed or have some line of patch dog are gun hunters. They have bypassed all the trialin, and fad paper breeding that goes on in so many other lines, and just bred for gun dogs of their liking.

I agree with SR Patch, Darrell's got about as good as you can get Patch wise, and he happens to be in PA. Pennsylvania has some of the best patch blood out there, I can get you some more info if you like, for the most part these guys do not trial but hunt their hounds HARD!!
