Definetly some fine lookn hounds and seems to be quite a few of them doing some winning. U fellas have said they have track speed, lots of go, and pretty accurate but what bout holding pressure at the tree and independence those r two important things.
I'm certianly not fool enough to say that all Echo bred dogs were/are "pull pressure" superior tree dogs, but common sense tells me that a many of them sure didn't make a habit of leaving trees.
Look at like this: Troy had Old Echo, Echo II, Bodacious, Echo III, Pete, Deacon, & Echo Joe just to name a few. Not sure about original Echo, but the rest have all placed high, or won to some extent at major hunts, both regional & national. I believe Troy had stabled at once, the likes of Echo III, Bodacious, Pete, & Deacon. Not to shabby a line up of hounds no matter the breed.
Also, Daniel Smith without a doubt really helped put these hounds in the national spotlight if you will, with Pop A Top, Butch, & Lucy. Giving credit where credit is due, Daniel proved you could take these southern Oklahoma coondogs & compete at the very highest level in northern country, or any country for that matter. Go to RazorRidgeKennel website & check out the list of winnings Daniel accumulated with their hounds in the hunts, not to mention on the bench. My fingers would cramp before I got half of their accomplishments posted!
Voyd Cannon & others have hunted this line too. The Bocephus hound of Jody's can be treed as soon as he starts his locate, I've witnessed such! I can assure you the men listed above won't be dragging around a big eared, me too hound at a hunt!
Good huntin,
