MORE FINLEY RIVER CHIEF HISTORY

I have had many email me and ask questions about Finley River Chief and the Finley River Strain. I thought it might be interesting to put up a thread on the history of Finley River Chief through his reproducing.

Many new to the sport may not realize the impact Chief had on the breed and how many of the top hounds of today have him in their pedigree numerous times if only you went back far enough.

I hope the fans of this strain enjoy the thread.

I put this thread up on the UKC Boards but since at times some of the moderators on that board have a quick delete finger I have decided to also put it up on this board where it won't be deleted.

MONROE'S FINLEY RIVER JOE LINE

A little background on the two hounds you ask about. One of John Monroe's best and favorite stud dogs was Grand Nite Ch. Monroe's Finley River Joe. Joe had a brother and John also owned him at one time called Grand Nite Ch. Harrod's Kentucky River Chief. Kentucky River Chief was Leads sire.

Their father was Ch. Grand Nite Ch. Harrod's Ky River Jack. Jack was a son of Finley River Chief. Joe and Chief's mother was Dual Grand Ch. Ky River Jill. Jil was out of Grand Nite Ch. Carsten's Finley River Buck who was a grandson of Finley River Chief. Buck's mother was Nite Ch. Finley River Bell. Bell was also the mother of Finley River Pete and Spike. Buck also produced World Champion Grand Nite Ch. Beanblossom Buck.


Finley River Sport goes back to Finley River Chief a number of times But two of the dogs that might interest people are Grand Nite Ch. Finley River Spike and Grand Ch. Nite Ch. Finley River Sam.

Spike was out of Finley River Chief and was a littermate to Grand Nite Ch. Finley River Pete.

Finley River Sam was a son of Finley River Chief and was a littermate to Dual Ch. Spring Creek C.B. the father of Spring Creek Rock.

Thank you History Nutt. The ad you have of sport , has my dads hunting buddys knob creek lead female listed. She was a good hound, cold nosed honest, just not many holes. The cross of her and sport, I owned two males both made outstanding hounds, the one was killed on the highway and the other, i sold back to Monroe and who knows where he ended up. Good hounds.
