Six month old Hercules was sired by zeus as backup and is my second favorite and uniquely red ticked; he is smart and sits, shakes, eats and loads in truck on command; runs over 20 miles per day and returns on same trail every 1-2 hours; we harvested over half dozen in front of him his first 2011 hunt. Two of his litter mates were admitted into auburn universities canine detection institute and currenlty in their 4 month of training.
Athena the dam a 13th generation smokey river bluetick and half sister to zeus; she was acquired to ensure we had backup repeats of zeus; they are a great match, opposites in character as she is more hyper and talkative, but similar in intellegence and passion; she prefers shorter runs and covers less than 15 miles per day and returns every 30 minutes to 1 hour on same trail; she is a short 43 lbs and zeus is a tall muscular 76 lbs; attached are a few pictures.
