They are both out of half deerhound full sisters. The female is sired by a real good dog of Johnson's at Loomis, Ne. The male was sired by one of the best males Wayne Clifford here in SD ever had. They will both catch a real good coyote. The male throats really good the female fights wherever there's a hole. If you have any questions you can call me at 605-441-2670. They are my nephews dogs and he's getting out of the hound business. They are definitely not junk.
