best you can get your hands on. not many any stock top hounds.good female best place start. lots of failure in ths game. its not a cake mix. but always hope and now and then above average pop up.and in a life time,maybe one or two nice ones.it's common to hav as good a stud 50 miles from you as 500.cull wat you raise and keep the ones suit you. don't fall in love with a young dog till it is proved to be wat you want.be prepared to part ways and move on.
