Iv been wiped by so many good dogs its hard to narrow it down to one but
one that always sticks out in my mind is Grants Crazy got to pleasure hunt with him some and iv seen him at a 3 day run the entire first 2 days and nights and caught him 15 minutes before roll call the 3rd day feed him recast him and he still finished and placed in the top 5.no telling what Tookie Grant could have won with him if he could have got him up.Iv never seen another hound that tough or hard to get up.

Here are a few more i trialed against and saw at the hunts but never pleasure hunted with them, Wards Quick Lips, saw her win 2 hunts, Hoehners Slide,Slinger and bold ruler all outstanding, Mighty Man he turned the right way every time when I saw him, saw kidd's gone famous when I went to Jena - he looked good. I saw Jean Hellums the 1st time I went to sandsifter and she placed and looked good...bout left off good one, Big Oaks Elle Mae, very nice gyp....

later....

Ch. Pinedale Clown B. (pleasure hunted, field trialed with & judged him)
Ch. Wood's Snake (pleasure hunted, Field trialed with & judged him)
Ch. Tiny Hellums (judged her)
Ch. Norris Sam (judged)
Ch. Porter's Topsy (Owned her)
C.M.'s Satsuma (owned her placed in 7 straight 3 days before someone poisoned)

SPIVEYS WHIPLASH S OUT OF HILLS GERTIE GUY XX JOHNSONS MAGGIE D HAD DOMINATING SPEED PLENTY OF HUNT AND WOULD TRAIL IF NEEDED HAD A HARD CHOP MOUTH AND REAL CLASSY WON TWO 3-DAY S&D PLUS 14 1-DAY S&D WON THE HORRY COUNTY OPEN WITH ALOT OF THE DOGS CROWE WAS TALKING ABOUT IN THE FIELD WON SEVERAL COMBOS ALSO A B CH WAS A GREAT PLEASURE TO OWN AND FIELD TRAIL

From the past, my dads DuBose's Red Man, DuBose's Grey Boy, and Jay Howell's Triton dog. At present, Jay Howell's Sir Bill and Scott Heads Bingo. Triton was the best ever.

I could mention several but the ONE that always comes to mind 1st is:

Mo-Jo Dixie B. (Ch. Gonzalsis Janney ex Spires Betty).

She was a high school graduation present from Kelvin Harris to my brother Big Kyle Blakeley back in 2000.
She was only about 19" tall little BB gyp but she knew how to run a piece of game. I've never seen a race she couldn't help. I hunted with her all her life and I don't remember ever seeing her when she wasn't the best hound at any hunt. She was that good. We both enjoyed her and she was the last dog I ever cried over when she died. I promised The Goid Master that day I would never love a hound again like I loved her.

I've seen and heard some good hounds run since her but she was special in a lot more ways than I care to type on here.

What is some of the best y'all seen in last few years

ONE THAT COMES TO MIND WOULD BE TURNERS LEVI HE HAD A VERY SUCESSFUL FIELD TRIAL CAREER HE COULD DRIVE HIS GAME AS HARD BY HIMSELF AS HE COULD WITH HELP..HE HAD PLENTY OF HOURS...A MOUTH THAT WOULD MAKE YOUR HAIR STAND UP...HE WASNT AFRAID OF MR COYOTE AND HANDLED LIKE A DREAM....AFTER HIS FIELD TRIAL CAREER WAS OVER HE MADE A VERY NICE DAYLIGHT HOUND.AND WAS A SOLID PRODUCER.....HE CAUGHT A COYOTE ALONG WITH 3 OTHERS ON THE ICE AND FELL THROUH HE LEFT A WAY TO SOON....

Jeremy adcock and Clint Young's captain hook was a nice hound in recent years he could do it all wherever you sit him down

THIS DEPENDS ON WHERE YOU ARE AND WHAT YOU ARE DOING....

IN MY OPINION:
-2 DAY OUTSIDE FIELD TRIAL - BLONDIE / OWNED BY COCKY GRAY (SHE WON COUNTLESS S&D IN MISSOURI)
-3 DAY OUTSIDE FIELD TRIAL - L&W DOG OF SCOTT HOEHNERS (SPIKE I THINK WAS HIS NAME??) (THIS DOG DOMINATED THE MISSOURI OPEN AT GREENFIELD IN GOOD COYOTE COUNTRY)
-BOB HURLEYS BIG PEN - BH BUTTERFLY (HEMPHILLS HAPPY 2 X D&A GRAY GIRL)
-HARLANDS HOME PEN - STONEYS KELLY (GRAYBOY X ?) GRAY JULY GYP THAT LEAD EVERY RACE
-HARLANDS BIG PEN - J.R. - BIG L&W DOG OF STONEYS THAT RUN STRADDLE OF THE SAME COYOTE TRACK FROM CAST UNTIL HE WAS CAUGHT.
-ANTLERS OKLAHOMA - BIG GYP OF IVEY MCDANIELS (JESSIES STRAIGHT RAZOR X ?) I WAS THERE SEVERAL TIMES AND NEVER SEEN ANYTHING RUN LIKE SHE COULD.FAST!
-WING ARKANSAS - BH SPICE (HEMPHILLS JOSH X MACS SADIE)
-VANHOOSIERS PEN (MY ALL TIME FAVORITE PEN)- FAITH GYP OF HAROLD SNYDERS. I SEEN SEVERAL DOGS RUN BETTER SINGLE RACES, BUT FOR ALOT OF YEARS SHE WAS HARD TO OUT RUN.
-HARPERS PEN - SADIE (POLKS SWIPER) AND BH SANDY (MCDANIELS FRED H.) PAIR OF SKINNING TOOLS THAT BELONGED TO BOB HURLEY
-MABEL - BLACK JULY GYP OF WAYNE STUMPS. THIS GYP MADE DOES RUN WITH THEIR TAILS DOWN.
-BIG SAM DILLONS RED LEGS - BLANKET BACK GYP WITH OUTSTANDING MOUTH. ON BAD DAYS WHEN YOU SHOULDNT EVEN BE OUTSIDE HUNTING, RED LEGS COULD RUN A COYOTE LIKE NOTHING IVE EVER SEEN.

IVE SEEN LOTS AND LOTS OF GOOD DOGS RUN OVER THE YEARS, THESE ARE JUST A FEW THAT COME TO MIND.
