Ally/BOO pups due in mid April

[MDbloodtracker]

I've been waiting so long for this day....and I'm hoping she took.....Went to see Steve and BOO on Friday....First time they knotted up for 25 minutes.....Then 4 1/2 hours later we tried again and they stayed knotted up for 38 minutes....It was day 11 1/2 -12 of her heat cycle.....



My goal is to take my gyp's extremely cold nose and uncanny fast tracking ability and combine it with Boo's speed and coon killing instinct. Homogonize the 2 together to get a super cold nosed, loud mouth, fast tracking hunting machine....
I got Ally to train and use as a blood tracking hound to recover wounded game, specifically deer. so I started training her at 11 weeks of age.....She went 8 for 9 in deer recoveries her first season as a young pup, and 7 for 7 this past season.

side note: Ally has treed coons before, but I never really focused on coons with her....She did see her first wild boar this year at the Grand American.....nearly pulled my arm out of socket to get to that thing and she was all fired up the rest of the day.......

Ally is truly a sweetheart of a hound, and she aims to please in the field...When it's time to to go to work, she's all busines.......she'll be turning 2 years old the same date the pups are due.

I have followed SLK's "Boo" very closely since he was born, and he is everything and more than what I was wanting to cross to....I could go on and on for hours about him....He's a gentleman to handle, and a monster in the woods...

Pups "by the numbers" would be 38% BlueGascon, 31% Bloodhound, 25% English and a splash of B&T.....

You might have to recruit some help, especially if she has as many as Steves last litter!

You're probably right Tim....Here's an idea....how bout you send one of those frosty drifter pups my way to "help" the cause LOL !!!

Congratulations Stan!! - Sure is a nice pile of gold nuggets!
It will be espessially interressting to se how those dark ones turn out in coloure. Dont know if maybe "Buckwheat" was somewhat similar in colouration, so that will give an idea or maybe others from Steve?
