Finley River Chief was responsible for much of the excitement and growth for the breed. There are other great strains that also helped in the creation of this great breed, but in his day Finley River Chief was the gold standard of top reproducers. His DNA still runs so strong through a lot of hounds of the day. When you go back far enough you will see that the name of Chief or another name of the Finley River strain comes up a number of times in so many of the top hounds of the day.

Many strains that helped make this breed what it is are: Sailor Jr. (Hershberger), Johnson's Banjo, House's Queen, Mack Twain, Nance or White River King, White River Boone, White River Rowdy. These were some of the dogs that were foundation of much of what we have today. This site was created to help people remember and hopefully bring a smile or two. For those just getting started, hopefully it will provide some history of past happenings. History is important. Much has happened to get to where we are today.
