Whelped to royal bloodlines—American on the sire’s side and English on the dam’s side—it should have been no surprise to see Graphic garner top honors. Her sire is Hillsboro Jethro '08, son of the magnificent Potomac Jefferson '05, Grand Champion Foxhound at Virginia in the year of the MFHA Centennial celebration, 2007.

On the dam’s side, Graphic goes back in tail female to North Cotswold Grapefruit '95, a Peterborough Champion and dam of several influential foxhounds in North America including Iroquois Grundy '98, Master Jerry Miller’s all-time favorite foxhound, and Mid-Devon Grocer '00, sire of Virginia and Bryn Mawr champion hounds from Blue Ridge.

Foxhounds from fourteen hunts and five states trod the flags at Carolinas: Aiken, Camden, DeLa Brooke, Green Creek, Hillsboro, Keswick, Lowcountry, Moore County, Red Mountain, Sedgefield, Tennessee Valley, Tryon, Whiskey Road, and Why Worry.

Bankrupt’s sire, Why Worry Braveheart 2009, garnered the same honor at the Carolinas in 2010. Bankrupt is an English dog hound with Duke of Beaufort’s bloodlines throughout the top half of his pedigree. His dam, Green Creek Ransom 2010, was bred by the Live Oak Hounds and goes back in tail female to Mooreland bloodlines with contributions from the Mid Devon, Ledbury, North Cotswold, Heythrop, and College Valley and North Umberland. A first year hound, Bankrupt entered well and hunts well according to Tot Goodwin, MFH and huntsman. “He’s not the fastest hound,” admits Goodwin. “He’s a middle-of-the-pack hound, but he’s always in there…hard to fault.” Posted June 17, 2014  ...
