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.

BIS It. CH, Am CH LYN-MAR ACRES M'LORD BATUFF, ROM
Born: December 25, 1965
Sire: Bats
Dam: Lyn Mar Acres Sweet Stuff
B/O/H - Walton
Own2 - Scaife
Own3 - Benelli
Many have seen this photo before but most never get tired of it. It is from the December 1967 cover of Popular Dog magazine. “Butch" was bred, owned, and shown by Mrs. Margaret (Peg) Walton. There is a story that when a judge asked about the winning 6-month-old's name, Peg Walton told him and said that he was born on Christmas Day. To that, he replied that since he'd been born on Christmas Day ... he would have named him Jesus Christ! Obviously, he was right, but his official name (Batuff) was from a combination of his sire and dam's names.
“Butch" was eventually sold to Mrs. Frances Scaife (a wealthy show dog exhibitor) and he was shown by a top professional handler, Jerry Rigden, but the magic just wasn't to be in the US all-breed rings. In his photo from the cover of the December 1967 Popular Dog magazine, he was born two years earlier so, my guess is that the photograph was made when he was between 20 - 24 months old. At the time, he was still owned by Mrs. Frances Scaife. "Butch" went back to LMA and was again sold but this time to Dr. Giuseppi Benelli in Italy where he earned his title (along with an Italian BIS award) and lived out his life. However, while in the USA, "Butch" sired at least 14 champions. Many, many moons ago, both breeder/exhibitors Francesco Lamarca and Bill O'Loughlin were separately able to work with him in Italy.
While researching, I've found that his name is spelled at the AKC with a hyphen (yet most after him did not) and that somehow, he has two AKC numbers:
HA766139 CH Lyn-Mar Acres M'Lord Batuff
(Basset Hound)
HA766138 CH Lyn-Mar Acres M'Lord Batuff
(Basset Hound)

This is/was our beloved Basset who we had from 6 months old till she peacefully passed away at the grand old age of 15.
We had 4 dogs - 2 Rhodesian Ridgebacks and a bit of a 'Heinz 57' in a Cocker Spaniel/Parsons Terrior cross. She was unique amongst these dogs - even the larger Ridgebacks.
And she was her own dog - she did what she wanted to do and we let her do it. Such a lovely pet and will be sadly missed.

Sorry to share that Elvis Presley the voice of Forest died in November 2014. He got ill of bloat, and it was not possible to save him. He lived nearly 24 hours afther surgery. So sad for his owner Sabrina and Henning. He died on there anniveseryday and mowing day from the farm Elvis loved to live on. Sad for us too, we use to look afther him on hollydays and so on. We do miss him a lot. Lovley basset he was.

Fred was the only name I ever called him. His papers stated he was known as Mettovilles Elver from the breeding farm that he was rescued from. Beagles and More was the group I adopted him from. He was a great and loving dog for the 2+ years he was with me. He just wanted to be loved and have someone loe him. His favorite treats were chicken chews and chicken biscuits. He will be missed forever until I see him again in heaven. RIP Freddie.
