North Hills Kid Rock 2012 was judged Grand Champion of the Central States Hound Show in Stilwell, Kansas on Saturday, May 3, 2014. The handsome white Crossbred dog hound (North Hills Ira 2011 ex Their Passion 2012) is the product of outstanding bloodlines from Fox River Valley (IL), Iroquois (KY), and Midland (GA).
Brazos Valley Mystic 2010—multi-time Grand Champion foxhound in past years—was Reserve Champion for the second time this year.
Huntsman David Raley from the Moore County Hounds judged entries from the Brazos Valley Hunt (TX), Bridlespur Hunt (MO), Fort Leavenworth Hunt (KS), Mission Valley Hunt (KS), and North Hills Hunt (NE). Foxhounds were judged in two divisions: American and English/Crossbred.
“Kid Rock is one of the easiest hounds I ever entered,” said North Hills huntsman Tyce Mothershead, “and he hunts even better than he looks. He’s a friendly, easy-going hound, petted by all the kids. But, when it’s time to hunt, he hunts like the devil. I wouldn’t take him to a show if he didn’t, no matter how good-looking he is. He’s got it all: voice, nose, drive, and he’s always there at the end, even hunting four days a week.”
