I'm looking for suggestions on suitable studs. Here's what I'm looking for in a male to breed to... a stud dog that comes from a family of hounds that can consistently handle tough going -- preferably tough snow going -- something along the lines of a 4 or 5 day old powdered snow; under 15 degrees -- and do it without a lot of extra mouth or any other serious faults. I'd like to make arrangements with the owner of a good, solid male from this family of hounds to watch him go, for two solid days, in late December or January on some tough snow going. If I like what I see, then I'll commit to up to a $400 stud fee with an extra $100 going to the fellow that introduces me to this dog.
The only requirements are these...
- *must be AKC registered
*must come from hounds that are consistent producers
*must have a truly superior nose and smart enough to use it correctly
*within a 10 hour drive of NH
*between 14 & 18" tall
*satisfactory conformation
*at least medium speed, or better
*stays close on checks
*gunned over regularly
*no other major faults
