Thanks . Yes she is a registered U.K.C. purple ribbon bred English coonhound. The purple ribbon means she has a minimum of 6 generations of purebred ancestors. Actually all her great grandparents are purple ribbon bred. If that even answers your question. Yes she is out of old blood. That played no part in my decision making when I purchased her for hogs I just rolled the dice. She had been hunted a little for coons and never seen a hog till I picked her up in march. I liked her looks and was looking for a redtick gyp for hogs and to cross my mullins dog over.
