Good stuff
Great pictures guys, it looks like it was a fun night. Richard, I saw those pictures of Moose and Tom on the tree and they look real good...I was kind of wondering how that swap was going to turn out...I know that Buck and Mike and the boys have some pretty good male blood sitting in the yard already so it's pretty hard to turn down a great looking female prospect when she comes along...eh?
I like the looks of Tom Tom a lot, he's got good, long legs and a great body style for a big dog. He has always reminded me more of Rabble Rouser in his structure than any of the others but he sure takes after Haze as far as being put up right.
Looking at how Sally is put together and what she has to offer, it is a very good fit for how Haze and Rabble are put together and she should go down as one of the real good reproducing females as time progresses.
Aother thing that came to mind is that the Ace dog that Woofter has down in Ohio, is also built to reproduce and early indications are that he's putting some real good characteristics into his pups. Ace was a real sensible pup that had very little time for puppy things...he was always wanting to be in the middle of what ever the big dogs were doing. He has a great mouth, is good looking with a real nice color and he's put up real good. Based off what the pups from the Cherry cross are doing, I can see Ace in all of them so it suggests that he could be another dominant reproducer. Ace is a young hound yet but he was tracking and treeing his own coons since 8 months of age and and he came from one of my favorite crosses out of Yank and Angel, which is also a double Rat cross out of Rabble Rouser and Spice. Anyway, I thought I'd mention it here because Ace is a very strong line bred hound that is located in the middle of the country so is more accessible than some.
Looking at what Haze is reproducing from a few different crosses, I think folks have a great opportunity to take advantage of another very strong line bred male that for sure has something to offer our breed. Where Haze is located makes him pretty well accessible to a lot of folks in that part of the country and he deserves a good, honest look from folks with those real good females.
There are other real nice males around the country that are surfacing out of ol' Rabble Rouser, like Deuce, Shaker, Rage, Red and Rocky but we also have our Yank male here in Wisconsin that has something to offer. He doesn't have a lot of pups on the ground yet and I think the oldest are probably still under 2 years old but from what I can see and from what I hear, he is going to spring upon the scene in a big way because his pups are showing that they're willing to get with the program early and that they have some coon sense and that they are tree minded.
Lots of good choices out there, these are just a few that need consideration if you're looking for strong, line bred options.
