Rabble Rouser
Some of these nice young hounds that are still out there out of ol' Rabble Rouser, have a real good chance to finish to at least Nite Ch and more. From the last tally that I had, Deuce makes 17, 18 or 19 because there was a dog or two finished that weren't yet recorded. I look at the other dogs that have a chance that have at least first place wins and there are 5 more with Moose, Griz, Ruby, Copper and another male out of Rabble and Annie. There are a number of other young dogs both male and female that are good enough to win in the hunts if given that opportunity.
Basically, we are lucky enough to see history in the making because if those dogs finish, it would possibly produce one of, or the first Rebone male to reproduce at 13 - 15% based off 190 pups produced.
Rat was a #1 reproducer with over 10% - Raven was a #1 reproducer and Rabble Rouser was a #1 reproducer on the UKC list.
There are many other nice hounds out there out of old Rabble Rouser that will never see a competition event so I'm satisfied that we can say that he is one of the best reproducing Redbone hounds in history.
Our goal here isn't to dwell on the past but to show how a solid foundation developed through planning and hard work, can help move our breed forward. We look forward to the next generations and to the enjoyment with our hounds that we have had for near 30 years. We hope that we are able to keep showing nice young hounds in development and to talk about future successes realized from these same bloodlines going back to Dixie, Rocky, Rat, Raven, Rabble Rouser, Bomber, Rusty, Bell and all the rest that somehow have influenced our direction.
Yank, Moose, Haze, Rage, Shaker, Rocky and any number of other real nice young males are the foundation for future successes and enjoyment so please don't overlook these nice young dogs when the time comes to mate your good females because they have the history behind them to help you enjoy your hounds for generations to come.

Unrealistic expectations are a roadblock to success, judge your dogs by what they are ready to give not by what you wish they'd do.
