Bloodline Ratings

[Blue Briar Kennel]

---a. hunt/desire
---b. line control
---c. conformation
---d. check work
---e. speed

From what I've observed I wouldn't give the Patch bred hounds that I've seen as high a marks for speed that some have. I think they show good desire,hunt,line control,checkwork but have not thought they possessed alot of foot.JMHO

[wvrabbithunter]

well you need to see my blue dog run if you are looking for speed and he is all patch

[bullboy]

i could give my opinion on many of the hare blooded dogs i think everyone views speed and hunt different i don't consider hunt and desire the same i have seen many dogs that have alot of desire to run a rabbit but lack in brush busting hunt as for branko and have some and seen alot of them and some of the fc run 8-8- 9-8-9 thank you
