Woodards Buck
NEW BOSTON — It isn’t often that someone is called legendary, but Jimmy Woodard and his prized coon dog, “Buck,” are said to be just that — receiving the 2012 Lifetime Achievement Award from the United English Fanciers Association.The New Boston man and his hound are called legendary because the line of coon dogs produced by Buck have become the most highly sought-after dogs in their breed, having produced world champions and some of the most highly-skilled hunting animals in America and Canada.“For us English Coonhounds folks, there was a small breeder with a big heart and could be called the most important breeder of our time,” Woodard’s induction read. “This breeder produced maybe the most important English hound of our time. You see, a promoter has to have a breeder of the animal he is promoting. Our nominee was the breeder of maybe the top English hound that ever lived.”It is a Seabiscuit-kind of story: A little dog was discovered near DeKalb in 1968. The dog, now called Woodard’s “Buck” by the United English Fanciers Association, was already almost three years old at the time — slightly small with a unique snout. Woodard learned the sire of this dog was from Arkansas and was UKC registered and the mother was a grade blue female, he said.Woodard said he knew he had something special, and he named the dog Buck. “Buck was about 3 years-old when I trained him,” Woodard remembers. “He was 2 when I started hunting him, and started him with a big red dog I had. When I started him hunting with the red dog, he started clicking. He was easy to train. For some reason or other, he just had a natural ability to know how to run a coon and he was easy to break from running trash. It’s really just like a sports player, some have that natural ability to know what to do. He had that instinct. He knew what to do. Buck was the fastest dog and would straighten that track out (relocate a coon’s trail) like he had a radar. It was just like that coon drew him a map and he knew where he was going.”Night championBuck later made night champion at a regional meet. This means he got 3 wins and one first place. Woodard says he had a characteristic bark that sounded like a machine gun and he would run a trail with his head up most of the time. For those un-versed in the world of coon hunting, that ability is beyond exceptional, Woodard said.Woodard registered Buck and breed him with another little coon dog named Jane. They gave birth to five pups. Out of that litter, the dog gave birth to one of the most recognized English coonhounds in history, Beshear’s Blue Boy II. There also was Red Bayou Baldy, Red Bayou Cane, Red Bayou Lady, and a female that went to a man in Louisiana. All five of the pups made it as coon dogs, which is unheard of, according to Woodard.Breeding out“The pups got their tracking ability from ole Buck,” he said. “These pups could run with their head up while tracking a coon. They got their big bawl mouth after ole’ Jane. Both these dogs were explosive tree dogs with a machine gun chop while on the tree,” Woodard said.Beshear’s Blue Boy II went on to do amazing things and won third place in the world his first year in the contest.Breeders began coveting Blue Boy’s line and the rest, they say, is history.Woodard was honored this summer at a ceremony in Bluffton, Ind. He is the first Southerner and the first breeder to receive the award who is not independently wealthy.He said he was proud to accept the award and couldn’t say enough about his famous dog Buck.
