Hope everyone does their part to make sure legislation and goverment does not prevent Our dogs from making future generations of working dogs
You can say that again, the time is getting near, again!
Curly is laid back as can be. One of my favorite dogs to be around and hunt behind. They don't come better than him. Paul has really turned him into a specimen from when he first arrived at the Teegardin residence, really pushed him to his potential (which has started to seem like its never ending lol). He hates a pig as well, he can take a whooping and won't quit for nothing.
Sugar is a real nice gyp as well. In my opinion (which is worth less than two cents) she is not built as nice as curly. However she is a very nice dog. I have a pretty good video of her catching in the woods if I can find it. The times I have seen her, she doesn't hit like a freight train, but take a good well places shot. Once she has the ear, its over.
Never hunted behind either sire to the dogs, but have heard nothing but good things about both of them. As for the cross, seems like well proven bull blood with some working line sight hounds turns out pretty dang good. I think this cross is very young (comparatively speaking) here in the states, and we will start to see a lot more of it, with a lot of success, as time goes on.
