My avator is an old male called Razor (died 5 years ago) and he was so loud that you could feel the vibration in your chest and he drowned out most hounds that people considered loud.
Anyway, I started in the 80's with a Red Bone bitch, had a great Redtick bitch, and over the years had every thing in between.
Walkers is what I tend to hunt, mostly the Clover blood......I like them to get a lone and deep with the meat!
My last litter out of my Ruby female were running at 5 months old and started being independant by 11 moths old (I've been getting checks in the mail from these pups winnings in PKC and UKC programs).
If you go to Angelfire.com and search for KG Kennels, a link will come up for my website.
Note: I hunt mainly females ( it would take a special male to stay in my kennel).
