i can tell you from my own experience that the crossed TB hounds where on average better than the pure TB (no cross). But to each is his own. what might work for one man, might not work for another. As of willie III he was a nice dog but i was never told by the owner that he had no mouth, but even if he do or dont have mouth, that lil diva bitch is packing for her size.
do you run some TB?
