Bat Eared Hounds...

That is a fine looking young pup Evolution kennels. Looks too be well cared for and healthy. Love those bat ears and blue eyes. Cheers

I take excellent care of my animals. I believe if you don't have the means to do that, you shouldn't own dogs. That little Snooty dog has lots of personality, an extremely smart dog.

Ditto Evolution kennels I agree 100%. That is the most Snooty breeding that can be had today. Have you ever got to talk with Mr. Mims. He is quite the talker, chatted with him awhile back. He is getting up in age as well. C. Middleton liked the Snooty line of dogs also. Cheers

I spoke to him the other day, for four hours. Lol. He is a class act, true dogman , and a piece of apt history. I'll see if i can make it up to North Carolina this summer

Does anyone else have or have had a pup that does what Snoopy does. Starts running in circles while growling. Had dogs for many years, never had one do that until him. It cracks me up every time. My fiance calls it "doing the locomotive"

Damn near all my pups do that when u get them wound up. Run around growl bark. Scoot their ass around.

Mine do it all the time....

I've seen it pop up in tramp dogs periodically. this one I had years ago had bat ears...half the time they appeared half-prick, but most often they stood straight up.



I usually expect to see bat ears in smaller dogs...I have some Banjo dogs and they are not uncommon in the smaller ones. Seems like in that case the ear is just not long/heavy enough to fold over...like the cartilage can fully support the the weight of the ear enough to hold it upright. But this fella (above) was a pretty good size with some pretty big ears.

Ditto Foxman. I always believed there was a lot more of the Forsythe and De Cordova dogs bred up in those Maloney dogs and some of those other dog men's yard than was let on. I also believe there is some Orbie Coplin blood way back there in those early bred Patrick dogs and some Creel-Carver breeding in some of those older bred Charleston S.C. swamp dogs. One of the best breeding's that Crews and Burns made was when they crossed their dogs with some of the Plumber's Alligator blood line through the Hammonds/Kreshner dogs.

Just my thoughts on older day happenings. No way to prove anything one way or the other and does not matter anymore. Why the parents and grand parents of any dog still are the best guide to go by. Twelve or fourteen generations down the road who knows what was bred to what. LOL Cheers

Couldn't agree more CYJ!! following the Forsythe and DeCordova blood for many years appeared to produce those bat eared rat tailed little dogs and I couldn't have been happier

My original bat-eared dog ... had tons of bat-eared dogs with her behind them too ... it is a very powerful gene apparently.

When all is said and done, I prefer full-drop ears myself.
