TPK, The Hammer breed hounds I have hunted with seemed to be **** dogs. I hunted with one of Dave Deens handlers out of Millington years ago, (he was running a bitch dog that he was getting ready to breed to one of his number dogs). She was a nice little hound that loved to get treed. She had a nice bawl on track and a good switch over on tree, if I remember correctly she was about a 100 barks or so a minute on the wood. The only problem I remember (if I'm remembering the right hunt) was she got beat out because of a possum otherwise she would have won the cast.

Willards hounds always seem to get the job done. I know he gets lots of ***** with his hounds and usally comes back with +points in the night hunts. He was running a little male the night I hunted with him named Cub, he would get off and get treed on every drop. He did just like Willard said he would he went hunting and found a ****, his only fault I seen was he came into the little walker female that got hung up on a fence and started treeing but the other dog in the cast also came back to her so you never can tell. Like Willard said they are just dogs so its never a good idea to brag on them.

Dave, I live about the same distance now as his old house. I actualy meet Joe years ago we where watching the red wings in a local watering hole and I noticed he was wearing a Bluetick hat. I had just had a littler of pups (out of a Jet 5 breed female I owned and HillbillyBlueBro) and struck up a conversation with him to see if he would be intrested in a pup. We have keep in touch over the years and I really liked that Mudd dog he had and told him I wanted a pup out of him. He called me that fall he lost Mudd and told me if I still wanted a pup I would have to come over and pick one out as he only had 2 or 3 and they would be the last ones. I picked a little female that I called Scream she was a well put up hound (like all of Joe's seem to be) I just didn't do her justice. I know the last time I asked about her she was running with the pack as a 3year old it was her first year in the bear woods. That tells you how long ago I was running hounds.

hellbilly, whats your new pup out of? the dark pup i bought off Larry Inman in tennessee, and my dads is from Joe newlin in Indiana. mine is out of witchdoctor and my dads is out of the Hitman dog I beleive

It definately looks like a Hitman pup. Do you know which female it is out of? Joe is a good friend of mine, I have a dog of his here right now. I have been hunting dogs out his stuff or dogs of his for the last three years.

That pup should turn out nice. I REALLY like what I have seen from Hitman pups so far.

Hello Shawn

The pup is out of Jill, born 7-1-08. He is a very nice pup, loud mouth on him for his age. He has a lot of go but a lot of sense also. Can't wait till he is ready to go to the woods. We will have to try and get together sometime. I am in Hillman between Gaylord and Alpena. I have one other dog, a Wild Card daughter that is 2 1/2 and does a real nice job as a rig dog.

I haven't gotten the chance to hunt with Jill, but I have hunted with a half brother to her. He is one of the nicest two year olds I have seen. I have been trying to get Joe to breed him once. I would like to try a pup out of him, its that male he calls Cube. I dont know if you have heard about him or not.

This bloodline of dogs usually suits the hard to please. They are very intellegent, I think that is their strong suit. They are eager to please, that makes your job easier.

To be honest if you have a nice one out of Card you really have something! lol Card is a FREAKING *******. But I havent seen many that he reproduced worth a darn. Im not saying he doesnt but they are few and far between.

Edit: this is the one I have here right now.

I've got a Hitman pup to work this year.
Giving the old dog a week to get over bear hunting. Then we'll be hitting it pretty hard.

Shawn - I've got another Clover-bred pup coming. The male is supposed to throw some good big-game dogs. The guys say they have been using them out west on bear and lion both. We'll see what happens.
