line bred weir creek mostly stay small and A lot of them have bowed frount legs. So size and looks or the major faults. Hunt and search with no quit line control good mouths ETC. or the reason I keep them. Roy

Very true about the hard hunting.
I forgot the big mouth, can't see how. The male I had could be heard two counties away!

No doubt about that Paz...I sure like listening to him!
What I have seen in the weircreeks I lke:
hunt, hunt and more hunt
medium to medium fast
good set of gears

All I've heard is hard hunt, usually 13 inch class, and medium to slow speed. But I have come to learn that different people judge speed very differently. Its just according to who you talk to.

I met Ray Slawiak (?spelling) at the Klipnockie New York trial in 1981. I remember him driving a small car with several kids and beagles in it. Beagles from that line really got famous when the Deep South guys started using them. Terry Ward (Boggy Holler) based much of his kennel on the Wier Creek Buzz line. Bob Baker from Better Beagling warned me about the Wier Creeks being about the ugliest hounds around, but I tried a cross with FC. Boggy Holler Buddie in the early 90s. One of my female lines still goes back to that. As others have said, you will get 13 inch size and some poor conformation from the Wier Creek line, as well as a lot of hunt and field ability.

A guy in poor health just gave me a young male whose pedigree is covered with Weir Creek/Boggy Holler hounds. This dog has straight legs and don't hunt at all. I wonder if someone switched the papers.

One thing that you can tell from the posts....
They are hard hunters!!!!
I'd call them medium speed 4-5 out of 10
