WHOA!
Did I miss something?
I haven't been on the computer in a while, been too busy in the woods exterminating the coon population in Alabama with Pepper.
I just wanted to let ya'll know my "Little" Pepper's picked up 2 more NTCH wins in the last 2 hunts. That gives him 4.
I don't know if I'll have the opportunity to get to another hunt for a couple weeks with my schedule and having my son for Thanksgiving.
However, I plan on having Brent a nice Christmas present in the form of a Dual GRAND son of Burning Pepper at 25 months old.
Keep your fingers crossed and wish me luck.
For what it's worth, here's my two cents.
Whether it's lack of knowledge, experience, being a "converted walker man" or just plain ignorance. I have the luxury of not being "line blind". It doesn't matter to me who or what is in the pedigree. All I care about is what a dog does in the woods.
I've been extremely blessed with my Pepper pup.I know their are certain genes and herediary traits that are passed down that have an impact on the potential and talent level of a pup, but it takes a lot of hard work and long nights to help them succeed.
I surely do appreciate the time, money and work of the men with the vision, drive and determination to make a better hound and better the breed. Because of them, I am now reaping the benefits.
I've never hunted with any of Pepper's ancestors. I have no idea how they were, but I know how he is. He hunts hard and fast. Extremely quick on track. Super accurate and gets hooked faster than any dog I've ever had. Stands straight up on the wood, doesn't move, doesn't pull, 100 bpm. A little quirky at times but is getting better with age.
He may not be the best in the world,yet, but I'll hunt him against any dog, any age, any breed, anywhere.
I've beaten a World Champion, a Platinum Ch, state champion, etc.But, Last night I got beat by a 17 year old boy in his 2nd hunt ever!
I plan on breeding Pepper a little this year because I think he can contribute to the betterment of the breed. Only time will tell if he is able to reproduce.
Hooiser Outlaw, it seems to me that you have a good plan on what should be some outstanding crosses. I definately think the Pepper- Outlaw cross should do well.It worked pretty good before, right? Good luck with them and get them in the hands of real hunters and they'll make it.
