Arlender McClendon and Danny Van Meter have been friends and hunting buddies for a long time. Arlender bought Rock as a weaning pup and left it at Danny’s until he was 9-10 months old to run loose on the farm. He then brought him home and began his training, got him started real well and sent him back to Van Meters to start hunting some in the hunts. Rock is a very balanced dog that can move a track whether cold or hot and is very accurate. You can almost always expect to see his coon when he trees.
Rock also placed in the Super Stakes as a sophomore and expects to come back next year and take the big purse. Rock is also Breeders Stake qualified for both the Sire’s and Breeders division. Danny tried to get a ticket for the pup shootout but missed by less than $50.
Arlender says that he is going to have him collected and breed a few females to see what he will produce. He really likes the bloodline but does not want to live breed him while he is competing in the hunts, but he sure wants to see what some pups out of him will look like.
“We like the new format for the Super Stakes and think it may be a good idea to split it a few weeks from the World Championship”. It did not take Danny and Arlender but one night to get into the money round, qualifying on Monday night, but they sure like the idea of having four nights if they need it.
