I live close to a couple guys and know them very well who have some pretty good leopard hounds and have bred the best leopards I've seen seems like there aren't a lot of leopards out there doing good but the ones I've hunted against in comp that come from these guys are doing well it seems they've waxed my ##*%* with a few of them but they're from here in iowa if you look for Dan minten and travis stirekin the coonhound bloodline magazine if you have it his numbers in there they advertise there floyd river blue sport hound that's a leopard and won overall nitech at 2012 leopard days and there walker dog named joe great guys with some good leopard dogs I wouldn't look past these gentlemen.

I will say if u get a bluetick good job but stay far far far away from jet bred dogs they r a very ill bloodline they will fight in the box in the yard at the tree on the leash I've even heard of em tryin to fight while hooked up with a female hangin off of em (breeding)

I wouldn't say they all are ill. Ill dogs can come from any bloodline and how they are raised plays a big part too.

Let's just say I've seen ALOT of jet dogs and every one has been a ill dog and I'm talkin about even as pups and they were raised in the house and not treated like crap or anything I'm sayin treated like a member of the family and were ill toward other dogs when it was hunt time

Thanks fellas I will say now I'm not scared to look into any dog in those two breeds the dogs are just going to have to hunt how I like, close to medium I'ma hunternot a dog chaser even with my Garmin that's just in case I hunt a lot of small wood lots.....thatbeing said as well I would really like to keep it within the state if possible so any Ohio references would be awesome but will definitely takeany advice given to heart I like doing my research

If ur wantin a close dog get a cur I like the mt. Cur kemmer bloodline

I've considered that a little but I just am not sure I really like listening to dogs run and from the little I no most cuts are silent trackers

I haven't found one yet tht tracks silent that's y I said kemmer blood line

i must have been misled...do you know of any kennels that sell that bloodline or people in general that typicall have pups?

The busher line is a mt cur to they are brindle dogs and my buddy owns the number 3 squirrel/coon dog in the world and just bred to the number 1 squirrel/coon dog and they are busher line dogs and my other buddy has the kemmer cur blood and he is the number 2 squirrel/coon dog in the O.M.C.B.A

that sounds like some good blood there...where are they located at?

Southaven ms where r u located Ill ask em where a kennel is around u and tryin get u a number

northwest ohio roughly 2 hours east of the indiana line close to findlay ohio if that means anything to you...thanks for your help

Ok I'll talk to him this weekend and let u know something and the cool thing about em is they are small enough to b house dogs and the one I hunt with are and they are part if they family sleepin in the bed with the kids but on a coon and squirrel they go crazy
