Did you guys try to get to Hawk only thru Spuds or is there any other littermates and offspring to Spuds?? In the past I have concentrated only on one dog and the littermates may carry better genetics. Don't know much of the history of Hawk, as to different owners, hunting style, and class of females bred to him. I've heard bits and pieces over the years and seems like he was bred to many different females...Just a'thinkin.....sparkie
