T-dog,

I love when Zach can make a hunt. He’s one of the few that I’ve met that will go where a dog is, no questions asked. Ice water, briars, miles and miles, it doesn’t matter. The hog started after him and I said make it easy and get that ole rank girl to come back to the bank lol. I’m pretty fond of that red myself. My original dogs were black and I swore that all I wanted was black or yella, but there was some red in the gene pool that came out and I hope it continues.

I’m curious to see how the Ranger pup holds up to hard hunts, as his feet are extremely flat and huge with heavy webbing. I think for these swamps it will serve him well, I just hope it doesn’t hurt his performance on harder ground, say roading him on a hard clay road, or hunting in pines where it’s a lot harder ground. Red has “cat feet” which is supposed to help with endurance from the little bit of info I can find online. Doesn’t seem to be too much info out there comparing different types of foot structure and since I have plans of tightening this blood up with future line breeding I want to make sure I’m breeding off of the best traits if all else is equal.
