To all my fellow English breeders and fanciers I have posted this pedigree of Lizzie, not to boast about how she is bred, but to say THANK YOU!!!! to every person that has played a part in any hounds listed on her pedigree. We coon hunters do not get anywhere in this world by thinking we were the sole reason our hounds preform the way they do. You see, just as it takes a community to raise a child, it also takes a community, to produce the type hounds we enjoy following throughout our lifetimes.
I still have some additions to this pedigree, that I will add below as I have exhausted the space in am working in on my original post. But I sure want to say THANK YOU ALL who have given of you life and time to produce such great coon treeing traits as I get to enjoy while hunting this young hound. She is in NO WAY perfect, but she has found a way to put a little pep in my step as I go to each tree.
I am now 61 years old and I'm thinking this little gal may just be my last opportunity to win a world hunt with a hound that goes back to where I began. By the time she gets to old to compete, I'm thinking I will be also. ( if I haven't already got there) LOL. I know the odds are very long of my winning a world hunt, BUT I still have not given up on my childhood dream of doing so. This little gal may never get good enough to win, but I also realize with every world champion coonhound, you almost always have to catch a break to climb to the top of that hill, and maybe, just maybe, we will catch those one or two breaks along the way, that will allow us to bask in the land of coon hound heaven.
If any of you have knowledge of some of the missing pieces of this pedigree, please reply on this post and I will update the pedigree where it is lacking.
Again I want to personally THANK and RECOGNIZE every man, woman, and/or child that were a part of any hound on Lizzie's pedigree. And also I look forward to updating her pedigree and filling in the missing pieces as we continue on this journey.
May God continue to bless our lives in this land of the FREE and the home of the BRAVE!!!!
Good Hunting to ALL!!!!!!
