Is this in reflection to the tread about the Hollingsworth dogs??
That is pretty much the way it's been for me. I have owned a few, schooled with a bunch, and known plenty with a lot of that stuff.
The pure ones I've seen have been slow and dumb by my standards. A couple had some real good mouth though.
The best ones I have seen seemed very rugged, and very determined, but again were slow.
Seen a couple of crosses that were pretty darned good, the whole package, but I have seen some crosses that were rank curs too. And I do mean rank.
But my Top 30 List of the absolute best dogs I have seen (dogs that were super-fast, freak-strong, athletic, smart, absolutely determined, with finish) has none of that blood in it.

I can tell you this, nobody wont tell you that. The dogs we hunt with are slow ,weak,dumb ,no mouth .i. Fact our dogs are extremely fast on trail,and death on a pigs heel.
A lot of the RBJ dogs now have to many outs .same with a lot of other dogs ,and as far as all these smart fast tombstone bolio dogs only a few out there ,and I am not going on hear say ,and I will give that to evolution ,and Bullard .and they had RBJ in them ,well Bullard put RBJ in his after a few hunts .these are the only two that has traits I like .
East coast ,west coast don't mean much to me ,all lines are spread all over the country and world now ,it actually comes to the smarts and common sense the man has .
