I personally won't feed any cross bred hound, kinda like building a truck/car without a title, not that I am into titleing a hound by any means. But for me pure bred or no feed.
I am happy to see the both left out ol blue which in mpo is the greatest big game hound of all breeds. Yes they tend to slack on the speed but like IKE speed inn't evry thing, got ot have a hound with heart and runs a track like I would a run a hot woman....to catch!
Don't get me wrong fellea's one of the best bear hounds I ahve ever seen was a walker plott crooss and was pushing the 90 lb mark, was he fast hell no, was he smart hell yes, was he better than those souped up cross breed trig, walker, plott hounds tiping the scales at 309-40 lbs.. 10 flold.
He knew his job, he did it with every breath he took, drif, short cut what ever it took to pull hair and get treed. He always found a bear.....so he was a bit independant as well. Bottom line he had HEART, GRTIT, and DESIRE. Do I have better than that dog....probably not, as good, you bet ya.
Don't get me wrong LOVE the english breed, not as much as blue dogs, LOVEED the redticks and have had several in the day, just got true on blue.
There are several WV guys that have some outstanding redticks, with great bloodlines. These guys like myself and IKE we didn't fall for the "speed" obession, jsut true dogs that get it done.
Ike hope you don't take offence to my comments about mixed up hounds, what ever works to get it done. I have had red dogs in the day along with black n tans, redticks, leporad curs.....NO walkers.
For me it's got to be blue, if that ever changes, got to be pure redtick or blue english yea, gotta have them ticks in the WV VA mts blue or red. If I were to be looking for a red tick look to WV or VA for the most part these guys are straight up hard core hunters, and if you ain't a bear hunter here in teh hollows you aint sh!t ! We breath it, live it, and crave it, bring your own pickel jar and snuff, and keep in mind always keep one foot on the upper side of the hill, never know when the ticked up dog is gona limb his AZZ, bet ya I see him first!
Thanks for the kind words about us WV and VA english guys, you hit the nail on the head!!! I started off with blue dogs, and migrated to english dogs, but blue dogs will always either be in my pack and always in my heart. Maybe thats why I keep so many blue english dogs? ![](images/smilies/wink.gif)
