Green Bay Wiley was a hound that most beaglers simply dream about owning. She was definately a once in a lifetime hound. This winter Wiley passed away in her doghouse for unknown reasons. A necropsy was performed at the University of Wisconsin Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory. The only possible conclusion was a brain aneurysm. Wiley was a very young three-year old,when she surprisingly passed away.
Wiley competed in field trials for only 9 months. In nine months she ran in trials, she won 14 of them. She won AKC,CKC, UKC and ARHA formats. In nine months she accumulated nearly 500 AKC points!
There are thousands of fast hounds, thousands of close hounds, but very few FAST and CLOSE. Wiley was the fastest and closest hound that we have EVER seen.
We sincerely would like to stress the point on how much fun we had bringing Wiley to field trials all over the United States and Canada. Aaron Westedt, Scott Czerwonka and myself each brought her to trials and left wondering, "who took second?" Wiley was so dominating; she often doubled the second place hound in points!
Wiley was bred twice before she passed away. In her first litter, sired by Near FC Green Bay Dickey Doo, she had four pups. One male went to my neighbor as a pet. Two others are entered in a few trials per year, and both have wins and places. I kept one female, FC Green Bay Sandi. IFC Green Bay Shooter sired Wiley's second litter. I kept all five of the eight pups. It is my goal to take these five Wiley pups to trials and place them all! Thanks Wiley, for all the fun and great memories...
Testimonials:
"I have had lots of hounds in the past, the dogs Joe sold me are the best I
have ever had. Ran them yesterday for four hours. Together, they did not
have more than a 20 second loss."
Micheal Gray, Hurley, WI
"I truely love the dog you sold me. I really enjoy watching her run. I am
very proud to own her.
Thanks for a great dog!"
Dean Baeten, Green Bay, WI
"I feel you gave me a great deal, and I am completely satisfied. If you have
another female field champion for sale, let me know. I would like to breed
Pic to one of your champions and get a litter of outstanding pups.
Thanks"
John Collins, NC
"Joe, I know we have been long time friends. Ever since we've known each other you have been very sucessful in helping get the winning hounds out on the different circuits. You have never been affraid to sell a good hound. The bitch I purchased from you, not only do I think she's will be a great trial prospect but she is now going to be my main hunting dog. She looks to be on her way to being maybe "one of the best dogs I have ever owned". Joe, you have been a great contribution to the sport of beagling!"
Dave Martin, MI
"The female you sold me is doing great! I am very, very happy with her. I have been "screwed" before and not often do you buy a dog and it is EXACTLY as described. She has got a better nose than any other dogs I have owned. I have not taken her to a trial yet, but have not had one day that she couldn't run a rabbit. That means more to me than ribbons. If you need a reference you can use me!"
Birdie from Maine
"Joe, Thank you very much for the great dog! I value your honesty for letting me try her out. Please keep me in mind when you come across another great dog that you would like to sell."
Jason Krueger, Luxumberg, WI
"Joe, I just want to say how much I have enjoyed having Sky, she is extremely sweet and well minded. I have never owned a dog, and I have had quite alot of dogs, that adjusted so quickly and became such a loved member of the family so quickly! I cannot wait to get her on rabbits and really see her shine!
Thanks again for such a great dog!"
Brian
"Today we put up about 15 rabbits in about 3 or 4 hours and Sky did really well. She was about 100 feet in front of my partners all age dog and right on the bunnies butt!! Just can't say enough about how pleased I am with her and your kennel. I will be adding another dog within the next year or so. Can guarantee it will be from you!!
Good luck in the trial this weekend!
Brian
"Green Bay Kennels: Just dropping you a line to let you know that I am very happy with the young Selma (Music) dog that I purchased from you this winter. She is doing great with other dogs or by herself. I have taken about six hare in front of her and a couple she was out by herself. So far I like everything about her, she is the smartest dog I have ever owned."
Thank you very much - Marty Benes, Antigo, WI
"Looking at your dogs, kennel set up and your attention to detail for were you want to go with your program, I see you take great pride in what you do. It is nice to see someone that is breeding trialing dogs with the trait that THEY want and not what the current fad of the trial ciruit is. And I feel that I have made the right choice going with you to get my self built back up. I do know the importance of getting your bloodlines out there for the public to see, and with a dog that is just for hunting, as great as they are, don't get the exposure that the people behind that hound deserves. So I will promise you that if these pups turn out like they should, and I feel that they have what it takes to make it in a trial, I will get these pups ready and I will trial them. Thanks again Joe, good luck and keep in touch."
Joe Jisko, WI
"I am not very good with words, but what you did yesterday I thought was very special. Instead of selling me one of your pups, you directed me to Kevin and told me that his litter would be better for me. I will not forget that and thank you for your honesty......"

Thank you Aaron Westedt for taking Wiley to this trial.
A Little Bit About Green Bay Kennels
Green Bay Kennels is located in Northern Wisconsin. This particular region is simular to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. In the winter, we have extremely frigid weather with ice and snow covered ground from November to April. In the summer, it can be hot and dry for several months. With these elements, you can see that it takes an intelligent hound that has the ability to adjust to keep the game moving. We need an independant hound with a "Big Nose" to push a hare or cottontail accurately at "Mach 1" speed.
We breed and train our hounds as MULTI-PURPOSE HOUNDS. We expect our hounds to excel in field trials, and we hold high expectations for the same hounds as gundogs. The "Old Timers" are incorrect when they say you need one dog for hunting and another for field trials. (I guess they just never owned a "Multipurpose Hound"). In the last nine months, our kennel has come home with 52 ribbons!!! (AKC-LP/SPO, CKC, UKC, ARHA). We attend these trials to compete! After the trial season is over, our top trial hounds are the same hounds that we hunt hare or cottontail with.
Our first love is simply running dogs with friends. We run in the wild as much as we run in our 60 acre training facility. When we hunt, we take the sportsman approach and do not shoot many rabbits, but rather enjoy listening and watching the hounds perform under all conditions.
Training dogs is another priority of ours. It takes a tremendous amount of time, patience, and effort to get a hound properly conditioned for trials. We do not enter a dog in a trial unless we feel that it can WIN.
Green Bay Kennels takes great pride in the physical training aspect as well as keeping our hounds healthy and clean. Physical conditioning, health, diet and bloodlines are our top priorities.
As a breeder I am committed to breed quality hunting and trial hounds. It is my pledge to put in the extra time, effort, and money necessary to produce the ideal rabbit hound. I do not want good hounds, I have made it my goal to reproduce the best. As a breeder this is a planned, life-long journey based upon sound genetic principles. I have set my breeding standards high. I am not kennel blind,“ If someone has something better, I go get it. In my 35 years of breeding hounds I have made mistakes. However, I feel I have profited from my experiences. I concentrate on quality. We want to produce hounds that are specialists in finding and accounting for game. I breed for fast and clean hounds.
FC Green Bay Sandi is one of those special hounds that only comes around once in a great time. When she was five months old, she could lead and check hounds that were placing in trials. At an early age, we knew she was going to be special. We believe FC Green Bay Sandi is the youngest hound ever to finish in the Northern Michigan Hare Association. Sandi was 17 months old when she finished for her AKC Field Championship!
Sandi's mother is FC Green Bay Wiley, NMHA's High Hound 2006. Wiley's mother, FC Busca Bound Minka Marge was also NHMA's High Hound in 2007. Sandi finished runner up to her grandmother Marge in 2007. Currently, the ages of these three dominating females are: Sandi-2, Wiley-3, and Marge-4. Between Sandi and Wiley, they have 18 licenced wins. How many wins would they accumulate if we kept running them for the next 5-6 years?
FC Green Bay Sandi has been sold.
2006 NMHA 13"female of the year.
2006 Better Beagling 13" female of the year.
By the time he was 2.5 years old, Butch completed his requirements to become an AKC field champion. His next trial was at the 2003 Nationals in Raymond NH. Butch won the 13" male class to become a National Champion.
As you can see Butch comes from an extremely gifted pedigree of producers. Butch has only three offspring participating in AKC trials. The first is FC Green Bay Wiley who was Better Beaglings 2006 Outstanding 13" female, & NMHA's 13" female hound of the Year. The second is near FC Green Bay Mic who has two wins and several placings. Mic has not been entered in many trials. The third hound that Butch has sired and is running in trials is Candy's Humpty Dumpty who has a win and several seconds, thirds, and fourths. Both Mic and Humpty Dumpty should finish. When choosing a stud, producing percentage is #1!
Butch is the most intelligent hound that we have ever owned. As a hunting companion he is untouchable. Just open Butch's pen and he will beat you to the truck. He jumps up on the tailgate and into his box. He has never taken off game and is a pleasure to listen to while he brings around after rabbit.
Butch is DNA Profiled.

Green Bay Butkus has the genetics traits that I would like to perpetuate. He has everything I want in future beagles. Butkus is a beautiful black blanketed, true 13” hound, with a white collar. He has a set of strong, straight legs that are covered with ticks, giving him that tuff beagle look. He has good tight feet that are built to work day after day. Butkus has a deep chest that propels him through any snow conditions. He has long, well proportioned ears, a houndy head, with a perfect scissors bite. His voice is dominate in a pack, and exciting to listen to while hunting.
When choosing a stud you should pay close attention to the studs parents and grandparents, as they have a tremendous impact on the traits your pup will possess. Butkus’s sire, IFC Green Bay Shooter, accomplished everything you would want in a beagle and more. A few of Shooters accomplishments are: entered in five snow trials and winning all five! Shooter also won four out of five trials in Canada. In the trial he did not win, he was awarded second place. Shooter is definitely a producer! Shooters sire, IFC Melanson’s Ranger Dan, was Better Beagling’s Magazines Top
Producing Sire six (6) years in a row! Shooters dam, FC Pine Acres Molley was Better Beagling Magazines Top Producing Dam for five (5) years in a row!

Butkus’s dam, FC Green Bay Wiley was the fastest, cleanest hound we have ever seen run a rabbit. Wiley dominated trials from the snow and ice in the North to the heat and sand in the South. Wiley was Better Beagling Magazines 13”female Hound of the Year in 2006. See Butkus’s pedigree above. All six hounds in the first two generations are field champions, International Field Champions, and even a National Large Pack Champion! FC Busca Bound Minca Marge was the NMHA’s Outstanding Hound in 2007. If you want producing power, Green Bay Butkus has the power! He has the nose power of Shooter, the speed of Wiley, and the brains of both.
To date, Green Bay Butkus has been entered in 11 trials. He has placed in all 11! We hunt Butkus, and are extremely excited to continue trialing him this upcoming spring.
