Dudley is now in the U.S. where he already has his first win. Dudley is an outstanding 13 inch male. He has super line control, can walk the line when need be, and knows how to speed up. Once he is finished for his U.S. F.C., he'll come back home.

We are very proud of our new 15 inch male Field Trial Champion, FT. Ch. Branko's Hammer! Hammer is a dog that can do it all. Endless desire, good line control, lots of hunt, intelligence and the ability to run under different weather and field conditions.

Tuffy is one of those hounds that comes along once in a while. As breeders, we always strive to not only produce good dogs, we look to produce the excellent ones. Tuffy is one of the excellent ones. As true breeders, there is no greater sense of satisfaction than knowing you did right. His record in the field speaks for itself:

• He placed 2nd in the AKC Nat. Large Pack Championship, as a 2 year old.
• He then won this event 2 years in a row: as a 3 year old and as a 4 year old.
• He placed and won this prestigious event in Northern Michigan, in circumstances where the dogs can really stretch out and motor. Where the dog has to be in superior condition and where the dog has to built just right.
• He then went on the win in New Hampshire, where the running was tough, and only those dogs with good noses could shine. There weren't very many rabbits at this trial (some were caught by the very original pack) and Tuffy did what we know he can do. Run that line and disregard anything else.

Tuffy is a joy to have in the kennel. He is a real gentleman, in the tradition of Ft. Ch. Branko’s Jack of All Trades, Int. Ft. Ch Branko’s Lumberjack, Int. Ft. Ch. Branko’s Heli-Prop, Int. Ft. Ch. Branko’s Ali-Baba and Int. Ft. Ch. Branko’s Casanova ( litter mate brother to Tuffy’s sire, Phantom of the Opera). His pedigree on his dams’ side, reads like a “who is who”, and some of these bitches have never received the recognition they should have. Ft. Ch. Branko’s Pretty Freckles was a full 15 inch, blue tick female, who produced exceptional dogs. Anna’s Ann is legendary in her reproducing ability. So is Ft. Ch. Branko’s Collect-Call Girl. Tuffy's dam, Ft. Ch. Branko’s Poetry in Motion has champions to her name.

Tuffy's looks are that of the way a (working) beagle should look. His set of leg is exceptional, beautiful houndy head, deep chest, excellent spring of rib. His feet are close/tight, absolutely necessary for a running dog. His bite is perfect (scissor bite). Too many dogs wing out at the shoulder, not this boy! In the woods you know by the voice when Tuffy is in the woods! Primarily a deep, deep chop. When he was trialled in the Deep South, he won the McLin trophy for the “Mouth of the South”.

We would like to thank Joe Brzezinski and Terry McBride for handling Tuffy for us some of the time. Tuffy's pups are doing very well. Reference available.

Ft. Ch. Branko's Flashback has a pedigree which reads like a "who's who". Flashback is a true 13 inch male, with the line running ability of Int. Ft. Ch. Heli-Prop, and yet the controlled aggression of Int. Ft. Ch. Branko's Ali-Baba. He is a clean dog, that knows how to run the rabbit "right". Flashback is co-owned with, and for now with Denny Dugan in Utica, OH -- Phone: 740-668-4901.

We like Kasey an awful lot. He is not a "flashy" dog, but he sure does it right! His great strength is his control of the line, and he shines when the wind splitters go all over the place. He'll just come a long and make them look very, very foolish! Of course, one has to appreciate the dog that does it "right".

Here is a dog that has won the Superbowl of Champions in the UKC not once, but twice! He has won and placed not only when young, also now when he's a bit more mature! His pups are doing very well, and he will give both class sizes, depending on the female he has bred to. He is co-owned with (and his home is permanently) with Denny Dugan in Utica, OH -- Phone: 740-668-4901.

Warlock is true 13 inch hound, and a super little dog. He has been placing and winning under all conditions, from wet, to snow, to hot. He has tremendous search and hunt, yet can really buckle down on the check. He will be used a fair bit in 2006. We feel he will be the next "great" one! His pups are absolutely gorgeous. Very strong and personable. Reminding us a lot of their grandfather, Int. Ft. Ch. Branko's Casanova! When bred to a true 13 inch bitch, there should be 13 inch pups, however, when bred to a 15 inch bitch, the pups will be bigger also.
