Top Ten Hounds

[outrider66]

As far as percentage of FC produced Indian Hills Majer is up there with the best of them.if im not mistaken its
over 20 FC out of 50 some litters!

This post is about top ten dogs that made an impression on you that personally watched run. I know there are many greats I didn't list but that's because I probably never saw them run.

[ebag33]

I saw Reggie put a whooping on a cast one time most impressive cast I've ever seen
I took a whooping by Craig Tulls Bad News dog in the finals at the little world one time.
I've seen Chad grays Bumper dog look as good as any
My dad's GRCH Andy could put a cast in his rearview mirror as well as any
Every dog Earl Bruner ever brought to a hunt
I ran with Adam Seger when he owned Green Bay Shooter, he was older then but would clean up behind the younger dogs
Those are some off the top of my head that made an impression on me

[Casey Harner]

1. IFC Green Bay Shooter- Great hound, saw him at four years and he was a pleasure to watch.


2. FC Larsen Jackson- hunt and jump dog. Big nose.

3. FCGD Kimbrel's Kick Em Up Kane- total freak of nature...

4. FCGD Bachman's Tuffer Than Yers- Smooth check hound

5. Kimbrel's Midwest Swing- A pup off Kane that could do it all. Pleasure to hunt over great dog that died way to early.

6. Glomski's Thunder Run Jdell- domination. Made dogs pay if they screwed up.

7. Glomski's Little Skipper- true jump dog.

8. Glomski's Red River Runner Jr.- fastest beagle I ever seen. Seen him run a Kentucky swamp rabbit down. 13 inch hound with a 15 inch heart.

9. Three Jays Idol. A front runner that didn't drop the rabbit. Accurate rabbit dog.

10. Glomski's Big Time. A dog that can easily turn with the rabbit. Locks on and drives. Hard not to like this hound.....

[Rowco Beagle Kennels]

I've run in PKC, ARHA LP & BP, AKC Midwest SPO, and AKC Large Pack, my list doesn't include some of the biggest names but these dogs could Really get it done

1. LPGRCH HOF Fork Swamps Butch ( best rabbit dog I've ever seen run, trailed in 90's)
2. WFO's Big Irene (Drew her twice at trials, got smoked by her both times)
3. FC Whitmans Black River Ghost (Flashy Dog w/ speed, he is also a BP Ch with multiple Big four hunt wins)
4. PCH BPCH Ten Miles Branko Andy (in his prime the fastest dog I ever ran against)
5. LPGRCH Cinnamon Run Hot Candy (flat out get to the front or die and then drive it)
6. LPCH Coleman's Ginger by Tuff (best true clean strike, jump, check dog I've seen in along time)
7. 2X FWR LPCH Indian Hills Bobby Mghee (had that six sense to always know which way the rabbit was going to turn)
8. BPGCH HOF Shane's Nightmare ( endurance could handle any size pack and stay focused)
9. FC Branko's Carbon Copy (great endurance, and hard line driven dog, with excellent conformation)
10. BPCH Willies Brenda ( won the nc state LP trial only LP trial ever entered in)

Would have FC Branko's Blue Rider on the list but since I own him and never saw him run in his trial days, I'll just say this about him, he is a bad dude for staying after a rabbit, just will not give up on him.

Like I said, not the whose who list, but these are the ones that impressed me, and I think they would have matched up well head to head with the bigger names.

[Shady Grove Beagles]

In no particular order.
Briarpatch Skeeter [Roy Kennedy breeding,VT. ] superior snowhound

GR.R.CH. Shady Grove's Patch [ Mike Grosch,Tn. owned him and I bred him ] watched him run his first rabbit and over the next 12 years he was the most consistant dog I've ever seen.Swampers in west Tn., trialed on cottontails, to hare in New Hampshire. Winner Tn.State,Mississippi State,HOY Runner-Up.
Talkabout Dottie [ Don Hoog,Ohio ] watched her win convinceingly at Large Pack trial at Lake Conway,Arkansas.

Steve, could have a list of the Threejays hounds. I have judged all of them back in the day.
Cleo-fastest hardest hitting of the bunch, could get into trouble though
Maggie-Never out of place, very hard to fault. All the hunt and drive you could ask for
Smokey-see above, but smaller and would "slot" up more and take second
Princess- probably the best overall of any of them. I didn't get to see her as much but what little bit I did she was outstanding 13"
Trouble-dominating little female, ran like big sister Cleo 13"
Midnight-finished in Canada then Craig Kemler got her and ran her a bit in the states. Very competitive, fast hard hunting, intense. small 15
Black Magic- see above. Finished in Canada (or close to it) then sent south never to be heard from again
Pepper- Lenny Rheume ended up with her sister, to Maggie and Smokey. A little harder hitting then the other 2, but it could get her in trouble
Reba-I had her for a while, John Moynihan owned her. Sister to Maggie nice running 13"bitch
Sugar-out of Kemlers Lucky Penny (sister to Angie and Cinder). Awesome bitch, finished in Canada ran much like Maggie.
Lady Justice-sister to Sugar dominating bitch, bunch of wins in Canada
Cindy-I owned her sister to the above. Bar none the fastest beagle I ever owned and ever seen run a hare. Finished on Fox in 4 trial at 20mo old TRUE 13"
As I write this list I remember some of the worst beagles I ever watched in a trial were from this cross as well. There could be a lot of extra mouth in some of them. However Jack Blum hit pay dirt with his crosses. I can't remember all of there names. There is a couple I am forgetting maybe Steve can help me.

A dog I will never forget..... Ran hard and ran the front!!
