With nine crosses of FC Dingus MacRae in his pedigree, Ozzie exhibits the desirable qualities of his ancestry, and is producing the same in his pups. Above medium speed, Ozzie is a good line control dog. He will be one of two founding males in the breeding program at Freedom Run Beagles.
As a gun dog, I don't think you could want better. He has never offered to take anything but rabbit, he's a natural retriever like his father and brothers, and has all the desire and hunt you could want. Ozzie has a big boomer for a mouth - a loud short bawl which he uses on the run.
His speed (by trialing comparisons) is somewhere between Progressive Pack and Little Pack, and he has finished in both. He's a Grand in the field and on the bench in Little Pack, and a Champion in Progressive (he needs only to certify). He was entered into his first UKC trial January of 2005, and won both the field and show. Since then he has become a UKC Hunting Beagle Champion and a UKC Grand Bench Champion. |
