Hello hunters,

Being new to your company and this site I see I will have to get a bit of practice in order to navigate my way around to get a few pictures sent. I will hopefully before long !! If you are interested in viewing pictures immediately you can visit africahunting.com and go to individual galleries and view my pictures there under Roy Sparks or Sparks Hounds.I have some 30 pictures there where you can view what we breed in our kennels and the CATS we hunt.

I am looking for a genuine cold nosed strain off Blue Tick that will work dry country. I like the type of hound Dell Cameron breeds, looks wise its the type off Blue I like with a good strong head.How does this strain fare in dry country ? What should a fair price be to pay for a very well bred Blue tick pup that will fit that discription excluding shipment.

I am really interested to know if any houndmen like yourselves would be interested to make visits to join us hunting here in South Africa. We hunt year round.I thought of maybe groups of hunting buddies coming over or families, fathers and sons, or hound club members. I have mandate to hunt hundreds of thousands of hectares doing predator control with my hounds.They normally hunt 5 days a week.I am keen to hear your thoughts on the subject.

Enjoy your hounds and introduce more people to the Life of Hunting with Hounds, especially the younger generations.Dont forget to view my pictures at africahunting.com.

Best regards,

Roy Sparks.

Hello From North Carolina,
Much of the country where Mr. Cameron hunted these hounds was dry in summer wey in winter. I have found these hounds to be of a good cold to medium nosed hound. I use them to hunt Bear and have found the to be of good grit and stamina. To buy a pup from Mr. Cameron I think is $1000.00 to $1200.00 at 8 weeks old and you have to pick it up. I have A brother and sister pair 14 months old that I might be willing to part with. Just to many yound dogs at this time.I would let them go for $500.00 each you ship. hope this helps!

Roy, I hunt bobcat in Oregon with a strain of walkers I've been breeding for 25 yrs. They are heavy House breeding with some Trigg thrown in for stamina. Loose Bruce and Houses's Lipper are 3 generations back in most of my breeding. These dogs acclimate very well to dry bare ground conditions. They are very cold nosed strike dogs. I have hunted S. Africa and Zim. would love to do it again over some dogs maybe we can work something out. Good hunting Mike

Mike yes I'm interested and thanks for getting hold of me in this respect. I wont beat about the bush with you. Without our leopard season in Namibia this year I'm scraping bottom of the barrell things are tight here financially. If you have any suggestions email me direct at sparkshounds@isat.co.za and then we can talk with a measure of privacy.

I appreciate you contacting me - kind regards - Roy.

Ted ( Stoneycove ) thanks for your most generous offer , that is a very fair price however much I would love to aquire some pure Cameron Blue Ticks , right now I cant afford to import. We've had a really tough year without being able to hunt leopard. I really appreciate your thoughtfullness. Please keep in touch and visit me on facebook , I've a bunch of nice pictures there that you may find interesting.

Regards - Roy.

Great photos Mr. Sparks.
