Circle you need to get your blue dog from Sam Littlejohn's Little Arkie line, they will go back much farther than what you required but they will have a BIG Mouth, Cold Nose, and more STAY than anything you will ever find! That would be my choice. I won a World and a National Championship with them. Good luck
I'll bite. Big mouth, yes, some do. Cold nose, I'll even give you that. Generally, they have a good nose. More stay, well there is where we will have to disagree. The Little Arkie dogs I've hunted around were nice coon dogs. However, they were not gritty on a hog. That being said, I have a buddy in SC that has a lot of that blood in his kennels, and they are coon treeing machines. Nice dogs. I'd love to know what type of championship and the years won. I'm sure you were just pulling my leg though. If you were referring to coon hunting, well we both know there has not been a blue dog win the big one since UKC switched over to the new format.
I think you misunderstood me, Ive never seen a Arkie dog on a hog! I was refering to tree power. and I wasnt pulling you leg I won the World all Around in Brazil, In and National Redbone Days in 2004 or 2005 I would have to check..
