CH BUTZ' YANKEE BOY
Born: Sep 9, 1940
Sire: CH Kelly's Chief Hareman
Dam: Kelly's Jet Girl
B/O/H: Leslie Kelly
A hound that appears significantly in the Kelly/Belbay hound pedigrees. Yes, Leslie's wife's name was 'Grace Kelly'. And, it was she who suggested that they change the hound's kennel name to BELBAY since (according to her) when the hounds bayed, they sounded like church bells ringing. At least, that's the story that Leslie told me. As for Yankee Boy, his breeder was once listed as Mr. John Butz. However, later listings had it as Leslie Kelly. As Butz and Kelly lived in the same township (New Alexandria, PA), they probably did a lot of hound work together. Obviously, at some point, Butz owned Yankee Boy but as the dam's and the sire's owner was Leslie Kelly and he showed and hunted him, I’m going with Kelly as the breeder. According to Jean S. Look ("Ch. Look's Choice," The Bugler, July-September 1968, p. 5) Yankee Boy was "nearly a solid red, with that classic, heavy square muzzle, folds of loose skin, short, strong tail we always associate with the Belbay type. . . . `Yank' was a particularly dominant sire, and he certainly stamped his progeny with his hallmarks." The "strong tail" that Jean refers to was a shorter and thicker tail than the "rat tails" referred to by Kelly that Lyn-Mar hounds supposedly had. That is ... until CH Lyn-Mar Acres Top Brass of which Kelly remarked: That was the kind of dog I wished I'd bred. By the 3rd in Belbay and by the 6th generation in Lyn-Mar ... they all go back to the Smith brother's hounds that introduced the solid red coloration.


This is a dog pedigree, used by breeders and breed enthusiasts to see the ancestry and line-breeding of that individual dog. The pedigree page also contains links to the dogs siblings and progeny (if any exist). For dog owners with purebred dogs this is an excellent resource to study their dog's lineage.
