NtCh Smokey's Ragin Ruby was the start of the coonhounds we have today. I bred her several times and her pups and the men hunting them put her on UKC's Top Rep. list. Among the pups she had were Lizzy and Ruby Too. Lizzy and Ruby Too were both born at our house and have spend their entire lives here. Neither one has ever spent one minute in the woods or put in a nite hunt without me or one of my 2 teenage sons doing the handling.
We don't keep many dogs, usually from 2-4, including pups in training.
