I also have some Smokey River bred hounds. They have the nose and track speed to make a bear climb.

That is one fine looking female. She sure does look familiar. I hope she is treeing some of those mountain coon for you and Tommy. If you ever get her bred let me know. She is a nice hound as well as all of your hounds. I hope everything is going good for you and your family. I always enjoy the talks we have. There needs to be more people like you in our breed. Take care and keep the pictures coming. I enjoy looking at them

Thanks for selling us Chloe, Tommy and I have had a lot of fun hunting her the last 2 years. She is a lot of fun to hunt. Tommy has been turkey hunting with his grandfather and has been hunting Chloe on Saturday nights.Everyone here has been doing good,hope you and your family is doing good. When Chloe comes in heat we plan on crossing her with our all blue male, which is All blue sparky top side and Smokey River on bottom side. When it happens we will let you know. Before turkey season came in we were hunting Chloe a lot, when it started to get dark she would bark to let us know it was time togo.

I want to see how they will do on bear.I plan on breeding two of my females this summer, one of those will be all blue male to all blue female. I'll give you a call sometime this weekend. Travis you are right Chloe has been doing great. She is a blast to hunt with.

Thanks guys for the compliment. Bill sage has been doing better each time out. She opens good on track and has a chop mouth on tree,can't wait to try her on bear. If she doesn't like bear we will keep her for coon hunting.

Bobby,
Great to hear from ya the other day! Finally got that pasture built for my sister,Happy horses makes for a happy sister......lol....Keep me posted on anything ya wanna sell....I'm a big fan of the blood your pack'n and know first hand what they can do.....Hit the woods hard with sling'n dirt getting gone....Quick to open and run to catch.....and when they do catch if it wants to stay on the ground they know what the Ivory is for....No need to say anymore.....Everyone I've ever had here has a head full of brains,starts early enough to make the cut and usually ends up with a pretty high measure'n stick to gauge by....These dogs dont bay back 15-20 feet,they look at em'.....And belly tight treedogs......If anyone thinks they're hot nosed they're mistake'n also......I've seen them leave veteran dogs standing on there heads after a heavy rain through out the night when getting off on a bear in the am can be tough....Tight made that can be hunted everyday and guided over for a whole season without breaking down.....I truely believe some of the best bluetick blood out there today and lord knows I've tried it all....lol.....Always a pleasure......Talk soon!
