Bill,

How are you? I hope you like Crystal? I hated to part with her. Anyway, I don't think i ever told you, but I have a little male straight off Heli Prop. He is exactly the type of dog that I want when gun hunting. He hunts really good, doesn't have any extra mouth, is really close on the line (especially for this type of bloodline), he has a ton of brains, and an excellent nose.
This little male impresses me more and more every time out. He has turned down deer even when they are jumped right in front of him. Last time out i had my pack of hounds and one of the dogs in this pack has a really good nose, and will even pop off a time or two before the rabbit is jumped (which i don't particularly like), but anyway.......this little Heli Prop male took a rabbit by himself all the way across a dirt field while NONE of my other dogs could run it. Not even the big nosed dog. He had to gear down to almost a walk to do it, but this is exactly what he did. He is very smart, has gears, and is close on the line. He has all his points and wins to be a PP champ, just needs 5 points from another club. He isn't a blazer by no means, but has good foot and will turn with the rabbit. He is smooth enough to make you think he has better speed then he really does. Good check dog. I bred him for the first time and a couple months ago and the pups are only 2 weeks old. Great looking pups though,

Branko's Cyrano---Henry-- brother to Cruise Control, Branko Krpan. I owned Henry all his run young running life and enjoyed him much. Am running hounds from him down that I am willing to set down with any one. I sent him back to Branko because he did'nt have much of a chance as a stud here. His pups are easy to handle once they know your the boss. I am running 3 now and they are stick to it rabbit dogs. No deer and will not run Quail when other dogs are running the dickens out of them.

Don't Know about Cyrano But if he is like his brother he is one nice Dog. Real producing cross there.

I was with Joey Tony Akers and Sam early one morning when I saw the Cruise dog run a rabbit a couple hundred feet down a black top rd, and turn it into the brush. We had a marked line. needless to saw I was very impressed.

I was at the Tn.State hunt yesterday and a fellow in my cast has a male out of Heli-Prop. The guy's name is Paul Prevost from Ashtabula,Ohio and the hound's name is Dinky Diablo.
I saw Dinky run at the State hunt several years ago and thought he was a nice hound then. Paul told me they have bred him some and got some nice pups out of him.

i can vouch for branko's cyrano (cruise controls brother) i have a young bitch out of him that is not even a 1 1/2 and she can flat out stay locked on a rabbit and can run with the big boys but when the big ones over shoots she doesnt, very nice line conrol hard chop mouth and great nose to be so clean with her mouth. i agree with jack one of the best young handling dogs i have ever seen, branko's cyrano is a very nice hound that can reproduce. he doesnt have no titles in front of his name (i dont think he was ever trialed any at all) but if he where closer id breed any bitch to him that needed foot,line control,and a nice nose. he is a great proven reproducer.
