Bloodline Reccomendations???

Post by SilverBullet »

Looking for a new hound maybe the end of summer or early spring next year and I'd appreciate some bloodline reccomendations.
I want a upper medium speed line that lives, eats, and breathes to hunt! A no BS type hound that is all heart and hunt. I prefer 13" and under.
I'm also looking for hounds with correct conformation and type ... not saying I want something that looks like a show dog ... far from it ... I like a hound with CORRECT build :haha: Seriously tho, I don't consider looks to be end all and be all, I just like a Beagle that resembles a Beagle!
If you're still with me, the most important thing I'm looking for, and the real reason I'm posting here, is that everything else I described above don't mean SQUAT if the indivigual hound or line too often produces hounds with bad temperament or health. Again, I like my Beagles to not only look like their breed, but to be friendly and even tempered the way a Beagle shold be!
So ... can anyone reccomend a few bloodlines for me from what I described? I'm very, very grateful for any help with this.
No Branko need apply, thanks! (not insulting the Branko dogs, I have one myslef)

Go to some trials AKC,UKC, LP, PP and find the type of dog you like best.
Then find out wich bloodlines produce the consitentance that you like.
We really like the Weir Creeks and Weir Creek crosses with Hare Hounds,
But for briar busters it is Hard to Beat a Weir Creek

SilverBullet,
Rising Sun hounds for hustle, hunt, brains and LOOKS! They are as houndy as you can hope for, and you will play heck finding any built better. Paul Webb got his stuff right with these hounds, and I have had the same breeding out of his old stuff for almost ten years now with no plans to switch ....ever.
