Hunters, there is way more good than bad concerning the Croghan hounds. Sort of a sub-breed of the Walker/July strains. I would call them '
coyote hounds.'
The ones I have seen have decent 3 hour speed, not blazing and can't go 5 hours. They do like to fight. Supposed to be good at the catch but I have seen them get a little trashy, fighting other dogs, trying to catch coons etc.
Like anything, I'm sure there are some that are good and some that aren't. Take everything you read with a grain of salt.
No matter what ya think of the Bill Croghan line of dogs ; don't ya wish that people talked about the breeding of what you have done ; only have as much !
