slade,they are called high end combination hounds around here-

yeah thats a good name for em.

i run the pens in the summer time to keep'em in shape then run the deer woods in the winter months to kill deer so yall can call them what u want to but i guarantee i that my dogs can keep up wid the best of them and i got the trophies at the house to prove it.

You all would not want to take them foxhunting cause the first time they got after a deer they may not want to run one after the shot in their but. But like you said as long as you like em and you are feeding em then that is what matters.
