If ALL of the dogs in a pedigree go back to Willet Randall's kennel-those are patch hounds. Yes, the man is no longer here but I think he would be proud to know that there are those out there still striving to breed dogs to his standard. I think it's common knowledge that these dogs weren't bred by ...

Ya would never be able to see them White fella's running in our snow up here That's why we like Tri's and Blueticks Nice to have a litter though, isn't it. I see what you're saying. Around here we run year round so we may run on snow for only a few months out of the year. It is WAY easier to see a ...

Umm, no :lol: The amount of hunt they have (lots) is normally what draws many to the Patch line. As with all lines though, there are those dogs that are the exception. I've yet to see one quit for any reason-even if they are exhausted or injured. Any dog that lacks in hunt or quits is pretty well wo...

Thanks for the comments. Hey Patch, Darrell Shildt has already claimed the female on the left LOL. He said he wants a big female with lots of white-I think she should fit the bill. I want to see some updated pics of your litter, they should be pretty darn cute at this age! Dave, all of the pups are ...

The pups were born early Wednesday morning. Amber had 3 females and 3 males and they all seem to be doing great.
They are out of: Marra's BEBpatch Dozer x Shildt's Amberpatch

Very nice, I think you're going to have your hands full LOL!
We are still waiting for our female to whelp, this is day 65.

Very nice! Which of your dogs are they out of?

Nice looking pups!! Our litter of patch pups are due any day now!

Wow, that looks terrible!! How did your hounds live through that?

We've seen a huge increase in rabbit numbers on our property over the last few years simply by providing lots of cover for them. We also cut paths and lay salt and mineral blocks out. Never planted actual food plots, the rabbits seem to eat quite well on the natural growth-they are chubby little ras...

My thoughts and prayers go out to this family after losing 23 of their hunting beagles to a kennel fire yesterday. Here is the article:

Very sorry to hear this. I did not know Dan, but loved reading his posts, they were some of the most informative out there and really made you think about conformation in relation to hunting. His sheer amount of knowledge and experience was very impressive and his passion for hounds was obvious. I w...

Great looking chubby pups there Patch!

PMI is Purina Mills Inc. It was a division of Purina but was sold off a while back and the two are completely different companies now. Purina Mills makes various types of animal/livestock feed. We do not feed the PMI "Exclusive", it's fairly new and quite a bit more expensive. Here's PMI's website: ...
