Howdy is an exceptional marker, biddable, easy to train, extremely talented and good looking. He is calm on the line, personable and is easy to have around the house.
Not only does Howdy possess these traits but he consistantly throws his talent, good looks, working attitude, personality and marking ability to his offspring. Howdy has sired numerous litters, with many repeat breedings. Breeders and buyers have been pleased with what he is producing. A number of Howdy's puppies are running derby and some have QAA and are running Open. Recently two Howdy daughters won a 2nd in Open and a 2nd in Amatuer. Many are successfully running hunt tests with senior and master titles. |
