New to the Board

[hallmountainman]

Well, I finally got my account on this board working properly. My dad and I started our kennel a little over 2 years ago, and we have progressed since then. As of now we have only competed in UKC events, but I look forward to exploring other registries as we get more serious in competing. I look forward to participating in board discussion and learning more about the sport we have all come to love. I invite you all to take a look at our website, http://hallmountainrabbitbeagles.weebly.com/index.html, let me know what you think of it. Thanks, Hunter Hall

Welcome aboard Hunter. Ronnie says if you got a dog that is as good as you are you will go far. It was a pleasure to hunt with you, you are a fine young man. Hope to have the pleasure of running with you in the future. GOOD LUCK

Welcome to the board, I really like the looks and pedigree of that Joker and Ann hounds. If you ever consider breeding the two of them give me a call.

Thank you all for the compliments. Old Blood Beagles, we do plan to eventually breed Joker to Annie. Their pedigrees match up nicely and both are great dogs. We will most likely make the cross 1-2 years from now. The only problem is that Joker was a bluetick born out of a tri-color litter and Annie was a tri-color out of a blueticked litter. We are trying to keep all blueticks in our kennel, and I doubt this cross would produce all blue. But nevertheless, we will make this cross sometime in the next couple years. The pups would be hot nosed with excellent conformation. Both dogs are currently three, and this will be Annie's first year getting bred. She is a GRCH on the bench in UKC, and I wanted to finish her to HBCH and PCH before I bred her. She has her first in HB format, she just needs 45 more points, and she has everything except her first in PP format. This year I am looking at breeding her to GRHBCH Xdawg Lucky, their pedigrees also match up nicely and he would bring some Reggie blood into our kennel. I will make sure I inform you when we plan to breed her to Joker.

Thanks. Jim, we are very happy with Joker and Annie. We are proud to have your kennel name on them, and you should be proud to have raised such nice hounds. Annie has really turned it on lately. If Sue doesn't bring her in heat, I really want to get her in some competition hunts in March and the beginning of April before I get her bred. She is so close to being a dual champ plus being a GRCH on the bench. I'm kind of sad that I don't show her anymore, she is an amazing show dog! I'm hoping she pops out a little bluetick female that is built just like her!

Welcome to the board! I like the looks of some of your pedigrees. Looks like you have some really nice hounds. Always like to see Virginians that love hounds.

A point of advice if I could. Don't let too many people know you hang around Jim (hounddog), people might think you got something up your sleeve Just joking with ya, Jim's a fine stand-up fetter.
