The American Beagler Forum

hello everyone, i'm looking for a little info on what bloodlines are commonly use in mid west spo type trials. we are currently searching for a faster line control hound for hunting. were running n.e. spo upper med speed now and am looking to step it up a little. thanks !

If you go to the Mid-west website and look at trial results or check out the stud dog ads you will get some help.

Branko, Pacesetter, Northway, Sock It To Me, Indian Hills, and many others have been successful in the Midwest in the last 10 to 20 years.

Dirty Pond dogs would fit that bill nicely. Problem is they don't sell many dogs to the public. The female I have is 10 mo old started maybe 2 weeks ago. She has all the gears and uses them, big nose, true mouth, hunts very hard, and sticks a check hard. Very impressed with her so far.

thanks for everyones input. i picked up a nice little female, indian hills and brako bred. she faster than my eastern spo dogs and alot more exciting to watch her run. didnt realize that a rabbit could be driven that fast, i'm excited!
