Sounds like all pups have moved on to some very sound owners.
Great news

Good stuff, sure make all the headaches, aggravations, and expenses we all pour into our dogs to hopefully achieve results like this all worth it when it all starts coming together as planned, sounds like you produced a high percentage litter, congrats, have you put any thought into how y’all might go about with future crosses for the ones that live long enough and make the breeding cut?

I have. One of our cow dogs is out of the same Daddy as these pups, and a unrelated leopard bitch. That would be the only choice I have if I decide I'd like to breed back toward Levi. Negatives to that is this dog is not really ideal in any way to me where as the daddy is. He is pretty good in his own right on cows, but his build is on the bigger side for my taste, he’s a touch rougher than I prefer, and he throws back to some of the old stuff in a sense that he is a man biter towards strangers(I wouldn’t mind this one bit but I have friends with kids that are often around my dogs, and little cousins and such. Not something I want to push the envelope on.) if I were to decide I want to breed back towards sketch, which is what is probably going to happen because she is everything I want in most every way I can think for most part. I could either breed a son back to her and see what happens, or breed her to my rocky dog, who is unrelated, but same style working and proven bred dog, raise them pups and the breed best from that litter to best of this litter. Either direction the stock sense, good mind, and heart should stay pretty prevalent. Atleast on paper. I’ve also tossed around the idea of finding something with some running hound, on occasion I think I want more bottom in these dogs. Seems to be the only real hole I come back to, and it’s not real often, but it’s been a Thought a few times. The daddy’s side of dogs has all the bottom I’d want. My grown dogs got enough for me most days. But some days I sure wish they’d have stuck that one hog a little farther and we might have bayed him. My oldest is 3 though. Maybe it gets better as they get older. We shall see. I am a ways out from any decision, as thinks stand today that is.

You decide to throw the running dog in the mix I’d advise finding one bred off some bobcat or grey fox hounds, the sense and intelligence they add along with bottom and cleaning up the confirmation will benefit you on down the rd, don’t expect much out of the F1 cross as far as being what you personally like in a dog, you’ll be asking a dog to do something he’s not really genetically selected for, I’ve had a full blood running walker learn to circle bay by letting her run loose and bay with my cow dogs but buddy she ain’t purty doing it, nature and environment in upbringing can have a huge impact, it’s a lot easier to take one of your good females to someone’s male than it it to find someone willing to let you borrow a gyp to raise a litter, Texas is full of bobcat and Grey fox hunters, asking around will lead you in the direction you need to go to the right man, try to find the hardest roughest run to catch game crazy type male and you’ll be putting yourself a step  ahead...

This would be the direction I’d look too. I’m in the right part of the world down here in beeville and there are some big time cat hounds around here. Would just have to find an in some where. The Bramans and their Mellon ranch hounds are just right up the road.

 Sucks to say but Ears went out working today. Penning a set of cows just shy of 11 months old. Bad cow got to fighting, had me in a bit of a bind coming to me under a pecan tree and Rocky, Hank, and Ears bailed me out. She broke out across a pasture and wrong place at the right time and she got him down. Got his name because he went through a pretty awkward growth stage and he had some funny looking ears, we were pretty skeptical about him doing anything early on but he grew into himself and turned it on as of late. Sure acted like he wanted to be something. Pretty somber day. RIP pup.

A year and 2 weeks old. Little glass eyed pup has turned the corner. We hunted 2 x last week. In the last 2 hunts we have struck 5 different times and caught 3. 4 of those strikes have came from Pearl, she has 0 problem stretching it out and pouring the coals to one. that’s her and her momma out front in the middle of what was a hell of a race. Ended up having to cut them off about 3 miles down the road as they had outrun our permission. They had that hog running circles for about a half hour in the block they found him in, he finally found that dry branch he was looking for and he never checked up.

Then the other day, a guy from around San Augustine who came and got 3 pups from me out of this litter messaged me, he had messed with them very little so far due to work but he assured me the time would come and he’d put them to work. He finally caught some days off and said they’ve been hunting every day, said them pups are doing awesome and they also have no problem getting in behind one and trying to see it through

Sketch is due again in a week or 2. Fingers crossed for another glass eyed gyp.
