Thanks again Bruce and no offense was taken at all. I appreciate your advice. I've got a few books on the breed, but like you said, there's very little info on breeding them and what to look out for. Like I said, the female is still young and from what the owners have told me, she's quite timid. My older hound is NOT timid(lol) when it comes to another dog. If she's that timid, I'll go with my younger hound because he's a little more laid back and easier to handle. Thanks again.
