IFC Greenwell's Reggie

[Lee Cockman]

I do not care if he can not even run a rabbit! Again every field champion is not a Stud dog or a rabbit dog. And every stud dog is not a field champion or a rabbit dog.

But for sure Reggie is a stud dog. Which to me a stud dogs means produces as good or better than he is. He produces well does that mean every dog is a great one? Of course not. I hope any of you guys don't thank that dingus or Dom every pup was great do you? If so I hate to say it but you are stupid if you thank so. If I am breeding to him I do not care what he has won I care what he produces. All the other stuff is just icing on the cake (FC, IFC, Title of any nature).I do not breed to the flavor of the month or want a dog off of the Flavor of the month. I watch the off spring that others have. If they shine in my eyes that is the dog I want to breed to.

One thing is for sure I am not kennel blind. If you show me a good one that I like in the woods under a gun or in a trial. I want one! I am the spoiled kid that wants what the other big kids have!

I have had several dogs out of Reggie. Did they all make my cut NO. But for sure most did. And the ones that did not I would say was better than most have in my area. But I am a hard man to please! Ask my wife she will tell you that! LOL

Good post.

Cant argue with a rabbit hunter. We know what we like.

Lets not forget that many will breed a piece of trash female to a good stud hoping he will bring out the good in their pups. To me. how the female suits me is even more important or equally as important as the stud.

My opinion is you should only breed a female that does as you like to a stud that does as you like and your percentage of getting pups that you like will go up.
Your best chance of finding both is in the field hunting all day or for several days, not at a field trial.

Forget titles!

jim, this is my last post. lets talk a ables east coast trimmer, to this day no other hound in history did what he did in the trial circuit.


u cant watch ever hound run, and I trusted what Terry McBride told me about reggie, monkman tried and it didn't work either. I am glad reggie is well loved, but u wont see any of that in my kennel.i am not bashing reggie, every hound has faults, his just were on puplic display. u just have to be able to live with what faults your hounds have.


I bet reggie has over 500 off spring on the ground maybe more maybe less. u wanna help protect your hound, don't breed it to ever dam femal that shows up. be selective be honest.

Was thinking about getting back into to trialing
But after reading this thread maybe i should just keep pleasure running only
Reggie has throwed good and bad no doubt
But look at the champions hea throwed
Poor dog has made a name for his self and now people try n trash it
And whats the deal with people on this board lol
Got this guy bashing reggie on what another guy told him lol
How stupid
And then got a guy on here defending reggie with his life
That back several years ago was bashing reggie and terry both on here really bad
Stupid people lol
Run ur dogs and be happy for what other guys have accomplished

A lot of people, keep bringing up the fact, that Reggie was bred so many times over other hounds, and that the percentages are what counts! But tell me this why has he been bred so many many times to field hunters? No one on this board has come up with the number of the winning dogs out of Reggie in all formats, I am sure his numbers would advance over most of the dogs you have mentioned, not to take away any of their accomplishments. I personally don't care of his first adventure to the north, but I see he has accomplished IFC before his name. He sure has been desired to put the blood in peoples kennels, that they needed to advance their own personal needs. I"M sure a lot of people here in good ol ky, would invite you to bring your best and compete with their hounds here on cottontails.

Who knows why Reggie was bred to so frequently. There could be several reasons, some of which were due to varying reasons. All I know is I have personally seen some very fine hounds run that were sired by him, and I intend to use them in my kennel. I think the unsolvable problem here is that it is virually impossible to determine how good a stud is without involving percentages and even those are open to questions like "what females were bred to him"? What probably bothers folks is someone standing on a hilltop screaming "this is the greatest dog ever" because he's from Ky. What's sad is it more than makes that person look like a braggart, it deters the respect Reggie deserves reguardless of how he compares to other studs. These poor dogs are subject to our behaviors.

i dont care what anyone thinks about ol Reggie, there will always be Reggie blood flowing in my kennel!!!!

[Casey Harner]

I think when he won the world hunt, that established him as a top dog. Look at Art Mett's stud dog Zoom. After he won it he was the talk of the ARHA. I seen where the country lane Rocket dog on the general services is now a big name dog after winning it. That hunt will be put a unknown dog to the well known over night. Beaglers love to breed to dogs who win big hunts and the world hunt is a huge hunt. The world hunt is the march madness of field trials. This forum and the Internet makes it easier for people to decide on who to breed to and who not too. People come to this forum looking for the next big thing, we all are right? A dog who can go through many rounds and win them. That's a lot of pressure for a dog not to go crazy. I see when a dog is championed out they go right to the general services for a stud ad, why because trialers want to breed to winners. I don't know anything about what happened up North to Reggie and all that whoopla, so Inwont comment on it, I have learned not to comment on something i dont know anything about but what I do know is that he is well known down here. Plus when his pups went on to win the world with Matt Marple that seriously raised the bar of his reproducing abilities. I have seen a trend that if a dog doesn't produce a FCGD in the Large Pack hunts or the Midwest Hunts, people outside looking in judges a dogs producing abilities in these two trialers. Reggie could produce 20 world hunt winners, but in hind sight people look at the producing power in the AKC more, even people who are looking for a stud.

Reggie's sons and daughters will be around for a long time and as long as they produce winners Reggie's name isn't going anywhere. Remember I don't even have a Reggie dog,

Just got done reading a post titled" Ky. Reggie". Some of these posts were from 2007 when Reggie was in his prime and really turning some heads.
Most everybody that ever knew Terry McBride [ Boomerex ] from Ontario,Canada accepts the fact that he was a VERY knowledgeable houndsman,an outstanding beagler and field trial competitor.They may not know that he also handled/campaigned MANY of Branko's hounds to their championship degrees over the years including Jack of all Trades and Heli-Prop and many from his own kennel.Needless to say that the man had the opportunity to see many of the top/famous hounds in the beagling world.
And Terry pulled no punches when telling you his impressions on a hound!!
So.........Go back and read his post!!!
Flint River----seems like you accepted the man's word back then.What happened?
I've had several Reggie dogs that I like very much.Have a champion out of his littermate Thunder Blue that is nice and also have a grand daughter that is making a for real rabbit dog.
Truth be known I didn't incorporate the Reggie /Thunder Blue stuff in my kennel because of the Turbo breeding.I like the fact that their dam is a result of a Blue Ninja son x daughter cross.But, the fact that their top side goes back to Heli-Prop and Jack of all Trades is a PLUS too.

Is Reggie still able to breed, and how many pups is he capable to produce each litter?

[Lee Cockman]

Yes but not sure that he is at public stud anymore. But, I have to ask who knows how many pups any dog is going to produce?
