Update -
Dude passed away in an accident on 7/26/25. He has 2 frozen breedings remaining stored at The Animal Clinic of Oxford MS.





Dude is a very handsome, intelligent, and muscular boy, with an ON/OFF switch like no other. In the field he is a tenacious hunter, quiet as a mouse, steady as a statue, a fantastic marker, and runs blinds as hard as he does marks.

Inside, he prefers the left side of the bed over the couch and enjoys snuggling with other canine and feline siblings. Weight - 78lbs.
Dude represents the hard to find combination of PET and PERFORMANCE with the indoor temperament of an elderly lap dog and the outside performance of a fire breathing dragon. In Upland, he quarters naturally and sits to flush/shot.
