Benton (pictured left) will remain at OwyheeStar with Cliff & Shela. During the next year he will be in intensive training and screening. If you passes all the criteria he will become a future Stud. For those of you wondering, he will not produce Long Hairs unless the female he is mated to carries the Long Hair genes. Sometimes these genes will not appear in a litter for generations. Such was the case in this litter. There are no known long hairs that have been produced in recent generations. He has all the characteristics that we have been searching for in a Long hair Stud: good lineage, hunt drive, health, good top line, nice broad face, overall conformation, and apparent good health.
