He's out of a long line of grade hounds a couple guys around here have been breeding...no papers, but the one feller told me when we were bear hunting that the sire(his dog) and his sires mom are out of a famous bloodline from south carolina or somewhere...but yea, i don't know the pedigree, all i know is all of these dogs they have been producing over the years are all hunters, no rejects at all...i'll ask him next time i go bear hunting with him which should be soon, he's got pups to train...
...the three black dogs in this picture are Banjo's bloodline...(his bro from the previous litter on left, his dad on the bottom, and his grandma on the right)
