guys,this is a very,very nice hound,i owned him from the time he was 13 months old,at 14 months,i entered him in the first akc trial i ever went to,i didnt know he should have been ran derby,but he really put on a show,he was picked up 6th,only to be beat by fc neels eli,spencers stone cold digger,my ol rowdy dog,fc hills primetime trailblazer,and a super nice hound owned by mike hatfield..........
spirit made the winners pack in every akc trial i entered him in,and all under the age of 2 yr old,i reall had big plans for him but i couldnt pass up the money,this dog would be an awesome dog for anyone wanting to run akc,ukc,or lp,he is super clean,and super fast,i would rate his speed at a strong 9 and his hunt at 8,john is being a lil humble in my opinion........
i have never been to a ukc hunt,but i would bet this hound would be a powerhouse there,always on the line and i have seen him stretch out some speed demons,he was the only hound i had that could foot with brushline dozer,but spirit did it right,no swingin with him
spirit is double ninja bred,blueberry to be excact,bred real nice and tight,if i didnt have to sell down due top personal reasons,i would own him again,i regret selling him,he is fc material,trash free,excelent hound.he has a high pitch chop,he is a lil conservitive with his mouth,but not so bad that it hurts him any,and he has been none to do what i call,the droopy effect,he hits so hard in the check,and has such a soft chop,dogs dont hear him,like in the cereises in indiana,he slips out and is gone,by the time you get your dog caught and in there with him,he picks up two or the checks,and he is so fast,a lot of people just cant get the other dogs to him,at 3 yr old,he is just right to be a force in any format,dont let this one pass ya up,he is super nice,john only runs him in big hunts,that is why he is not real popular,but,i stand behind this dog,he will bring ya home some serious hardware,he can win the bigguns
