Jerry Harper, Cadiz, Kentucky All my hounds have been AKC for 25 plus years. I currently have four, the oldest is 12 y.o. and the youngest is 1 y.o. I run a faster dog. The blood line is hare hound and cotton tail (Reggie, Turbo Prop, Green Bay Shooter, Brent's Prime Time and others) Run mostly on private ground and haven't killed a rabbit in over 8 years. Even though my hounds probably wouldn't mix well with most on here, this is by far my favorite beagle/rabbit hound site. Always get a lot of good information. Side note: I feed a mix of Joy and Diamond and use Garmin 200 and tt15 mini's.

Tommy Phillips, Marion ky. We have several dogs. Mainly hounds breed for the spo field trial line. We start and condition dogs for other people in our pen. So we keep several dogs for that. And breed to try and compete in field trials. But rabbit hunting is our first love all our dogs have to be rabbit dogs and trial second. We also have a couple of weircreek hounds that we keep around. Mainly feed tops supreme 24/20 to most of our dogs. Feed diamond extreme athlete to the ones we trial. And mothers on pups. Have meet a lot of great people on this site. Just something about people with the love of the hounds they hunt.

I am getting ready to start my 3rd generation of Cocoa Bear bred dogs. I have mixed in some Darey Does On The Money and Diego blood and plan on going back for another shot of Bear in my next breeding if I can find the right stud. From there I hope to start line breeding for a close clean dog that can run it when they can and grind it out on those tough days.

My wife has a MoBill female that likes to get up and go. My daughter has an Indian Hills outcrossed female that is just getting cranked up but can flat out get it. Also in partners with Logan on a nice Branko reject and have been running a MoBill male for Curnel.

Some of the best friendships I have are from this site. I consider each and every one of you my rabbit dog family!

TJRanger - I’ve been blessed over the years to have many good dogs and meet many of you. I made the decision last year to slow down, semi retired and merged kennels with my good friends Kerry Crofford (HBQ) and Jeff Windham. We hunt together and it just made sense to pull our resources. I sold most of my dogs to friends and we are concentrating on a tight Otis line of dogs. We have 12 dogs plus 1 litter on the ground and 1 due anyday now. I have been actively involved with RD’s and served as an Admin for 3 years and served as Chair of our Annual Hunt for couple years before stepping down to pursue other endeavors. It has been a pleasure to meet a lot of you, talk or text with you and share friendships. Hope the Lord sees fit for many more years. As I’ve always said this is Family all across America and a privilege to be a small part of.

Mobile, AL

3 grade dogs, 3 registered (all puppies). Upper medium speed with hunt.

I’m a rabbit hunter. I’ve never attended a field trial, but I would like to see what it’s about. I don’t have anything against it but I heard they don’t really judge hunt at field trials. That’s what I look for the most in a rabbit dog is hunt. I’m slowly converting to registered hounds. I’ve been lucky to have some good hounds and I’m excited to get into registered dogs so I can get a more consistent outcome. I pleasure run year around until deer season is over. When that time comes we shoot plenty of rabbits on invite hunts. That’s fun and all but I’d be just as happy by myself, on a clear night full of stars, sitting on my tailgate, listening to my hounds.

I don’t post much on this site, but I’m truly addicted. I’m always researching old posts to get valuable information. I look forward to hopefully meeting some of you one day!

I keep 3 to 4 under 13" AKC Registered only. (prefer females)
In the process right now of trying to put together a TCP pack. I've got 3 that match up great... the forth is a little too strong so I'm having fun trying to get that perfect 4th dog. (see dogs for sale post)
I have a 12 acre pen just outside my back door. I also hunt with friends on private land and some conservation areas.
I mainly use a Garmin Alpha 200 & Pro 550 + along with the TT15 mini collars.
My wife loves my dogs and the sport also. We look forward to doing some traveling real soon. Hopefully we'll get to meet a lot of the people from this site.
