Is Dennis still runnin hounds? It seems he hasnt updated his website in a while.
I actually use to enjoy the guys posts and pics many seasons ago

I have a question of interest, why do deer doggers hunt with a large number of shooter where all the big game houndsmen seem to hunt alone or with a friend. Wouldn't it be harder to keep a bobcat or bear at bay compared to a doe or buck?

When a dog displays brains to me that means a dog showing something that can't be taught. The majority of dogs can be taught to handle using the right methods for an individual dog. If a dog handles well, loads, doesn't need to be leashed etc this is displaying obedience. Does it mean a dog has ...

I'll take patience with a splash of confidence. If a dogs confidenent with its ability and its handler and has the patience to work difficult tracks, the patience to handle well and wait to do what it's told, has the patience to stay bayed, and has the patience not to be first in the race when ...

Has any one tried there hand at making a hunters horn that they could pass the information on or is there a web site that explains the step by step process that you might know about.

Sorry but I'm going to turn the table so too speak... And this is the extreme opposite but none the less. Lets say the person that has the dogs now (not the original breeder) becomes a household name amongst hunters for what he has archived with his dogs does that give the original breeder the right ...

Very well said but I would assume that I was buying in to the hunters dog not the dogs hunter. So if ones breeding program is based around the traits of A particular dog, and every dog be traced back to the original dog with no out cross having been made does that give you the right to mention the ...

I have known of a couple of foxhounds that with age become cunning. They would cold trail silent then you would hear them bark bayed for two or three minutes then the chase would begin (at this stage they would be in voice) I believe this wouldn't push the animal foward whilst on trail suggesting ...

DWalton, I believe if a person (this is only an example) hunted off, lets say Del Camerons "Ben dog," and this person saw a traight in Ben dog that he sought after. So the said person obtains as many pups / dogs out of ben and his littermates as possible. And only kept the dogs that had that same ...
