We are extremely excited to be able to make this breeding between International Field Champion Espresso’s Southern Royal Nova and Critter Creek Rage’s Esso 2.0.
Nova finished her Field Champion Gundog title then went on to Canada where Mr. Dennis Cooke finished her in Large Pack for her IFC title. She is a 6th generation International Field Champion. Nova ranked third across Canada in the “2020 CKC Top Field Trial Beagle”. She also placed in the Canadian National Championship for 2021 then again in 2022. In addition, she also won the MidSouth Federation’s Championship while running SPO.
Critter Creek Rage’s Esso 2.0 was the 2023 Southern Large Pack Association’s 15” Derby Champion and went on to place 5th at the AKC National Large Pack Championship. He just turned three years of age last month and only needs one more win to become a Field Champion Large Pack. He has wins and places while running cottontails, swampers and hare. Like his grandsire Espresso, Esso 2.0 is a very consistent hound placing in 18 trials from LA, TX, MS, MI and NY. At a young age, 2.0 has a bright future ahead of him.
This cross is very special to us because it combines our best dogs of recent years…Rudy, Espresso, Rage and Nova. It’s a combination of brains, competitiveness, foot speed, line control and hunt.
