From the Owner:

I have hunted in 36 states over the last 30 years. I have treed or caught about everything that leaves a track. I can say this much with certainty, a TOP hound in the Canadian Rockies is still a TOP hound in the swampy Mississippi delta or the dry ground hunting of Oklahoma. The required skill set is the same regardless of where ever you hunt or what type of game you are hunting.

It's the HOUND that proves the breeding Good or Bad. If the majority of a litter make hounds that people catch game with hunt after hunt, the litter was Good. If a hound produces litter after litter that catches game, the hound is a producer. If those same game catching hounds consistently produce good litter’s generation after generation then you have a BLOODLINE. There are only a few true Bloodlines in the hound world.
