I've recently been asked if I would breed turkey to any other breeds and participate in the x bred program. I wish those that participate the best of luck but turkey won't be a part of it. I'm proud of the redbone breed and it's progress it's making in the competition world. Thanks for all the interest and compliments on turkey.

I had the pleasure of hunting with Rob Farr and Russell Beck last night. Rob has a really nice young male that is continuing to represent the ace line of dogs. He's a fast little dog and as pretty of a treedog as you could ever want. Rob can't help but to have a good dog because he hunts with Russell Becks walker dogs every week. For those that don't know Russell, he's the kind of hunter that everyone should strive to be like. 50 years of the same line of walker dogs and he's always got a good one!

Your not alone in the feeling that the redbone breed is making real progress and that we don't need to take short cuts and dilute the work of many great redbone breeders before us with the dna of other breeds. When I hunted with Turkey he looked as good as any redbone I have ever drawn in a competition hunt that night and I have drawn quite a few good ones. He struck honest, located and treed quick, and had real live coons and didnt make any mistakes. If more people would base their breeding programs on dogs like Turkey instead of monetary gain, only breeding to dogs from their own line and other things not nearly as reliable....we would see progress in this breed come at a much swifter pace. I am glad I got to see him tree several coon in a cast that had some pretty good dogs in it and do it the way he did...with style!
I saw enough that night to decide I can use him in my breeding program in the future. I am trying to figure out which female would make the best cross on him with the traits and performance I saw that night. We have the next round of crosses planned out for this summer and fall...but after that one of our females will be coming your way. In the meantime, I will be watching for info, pictures and video on his offspring. I like that he is from a good litter, and I like that his breeding on the topside is related to dogs I hunt and that his bottom side is totally unrelated, but from two very good reproducing lines. I think he is a dog who stands a really good chance of being able to add some traits I am seeking along with the benefits of uniformity I have been getting from line breeding on the Outlaw and Moonlight lines. I think dogs like Turkey and his brother Gr.Nt.Ch. Stone Cold Mack offer a unique opportunity to anyone with linebred Outlaw or Moonlight females because on the one hand breeding to either male is a line breeding, but also a complete outcross to the breeding on his bottom side. This is a very unique situation and I hope others with similarly bred females will take a hard and serious look at crosses on either of these males. Good luck Travis....hope you and Turkey have another great year ahead of you....shane

Shane, thanks for the kind words about turkey. You got to see turkey on a good night but that's a typical performance of his ability when you have a good guide like we did that night. I'm not blind to one particular line of redbone. If a dog has brains and will give me 100%, I'm usually happy to hunt it regardless of what it's out of or who it goes back to. Just let me know if turkey can help with your breeding program in the future. Good luck in 2015!

Travis, Russell and I talked all the way home about how much fun we had. It helps when you tree 4 singles and a den during the hunt. Lol. I agree with Shane and you on the x breed program. Back in the 60's when I started hunting in the hunts each event had a registered and a grade hunt and a lot of the time the grade hunt was the largest of the two. Purple ribbon registration was really pushed in those days and hunters were striving to get the breeds separated and pure in blood and genetics. Seems like this is going backwards to me. Maybe I just have a reluctance to change or too set in my ways. Shane you are right on about your assessment of Turkey. When I have hunted with Turkey I have seen a hound that is all business. Travis cuts him loose and he immediately gets in there and gets to hunting. He takes the tracks as he comes to them and opens just right. He has shown me he is an excellant locator and a hard pressure tree dog.. He has an excellant demeanor on the tree and isn't I'll in any way. Wish we had a camera last night as we had 3 hard treedogs all up on the tree at the same time and not a sideways glance by any of them. Its funny Shane I told Travis last night the same thing you did in your post. Turkey is one of the best redbones I have hunted with and that has been several. Thanks again Travis for the hunt last night and about your comments about Zack. I do like him a lot.

Thanks Rob, I had a great time. I think tracking was pretty poor but our dogs still did a nice job of finding 4 singles. I was gonna take some video on that last tree but it was so brushy and viney around that tree. Your opinion on turkey means a lot to me so I appreciate you posting your opinion when you didn't have to. I've been bragging on the speed of your little dog so if he looks bad on a hunt, it's my fault. Lol. I took turkey in the rain last night, he did a great job on 2 dens. I thought this picture turned out really good.

Turkey doesn't care if it's raining,snowing or what he just trees coons night after night.Great job Travis,thanks for meeting me yesterday.

This is Crooked River Red Bandit. Out Gr Nt Ch Crooked River Red Turkey Htx and Gr Nt Ch Thompson Circle T Zoe. He's 10 wks old old and shows all the signs I like to see in a pup.

Turkey x Abby

Travis, as you know I've been keeping pretty close tabs on the Turkey and Abby litter. Most all are doing a great job on drags and a few have seen released coon and done well.

Mine will go the distance to the tree with the old dogs at night and be there when I get there. It won't be long and he will be clicking them off right along with them. He will find and light up a caged coon and has a nice mouth, looks and personality as well. Sometimes it's hard to remember they aren't 6 months old yet.

I cannot type enough to recommend Turkey to anyone wanting to breed a female. His pups are the right kind and his owner is too. Both factors matter to me when I decide where to take a female.

Justin was saying last night how impressed he is with Rusty's pup. He said it really clicks them off when a coon was pulled up the tree.

Chris, thanks for the comments on turkey. It sure is sounding positive about the cross on abby. I heard of another one treeing a release coon today. Tonight my friend Chris Siemens and I treed 2 singles with turkey. I took this picture and tried to decide if I should knock Chris out for turkey to munch on. Lol

Turkey x Abby

Travis,

Turkey and Abby has worked for me. Brown was running some track the other night and even located a few times, just couldn't pull the trigger. It won't be long now. These are not 6 months old till this Friday.

Billy Georges Norma female is doing a good job. Billy says that we hit a home run with this cross.

Aaron has one he really likes. Think he calls her Anna. Freaks out on a cage coon.

Rustys will destroy a caged coon and get with it. "Sadie"

Two haven't been worked much.

Bob Ross' runs and trees drags. Being trained by his 12 yr old son and doing good.

Mike Houstons Sadie was the boldest pup in the litter. I'd bet a paycheck she can get with one.

These are the ones I know about. If I owned another T-Top bred female, I would get to Turkey as soon as possible. That combo worked.

Posted by Travis O. on 04-08-2015 01:43 AM:

This is Crooked River Red Bandit, 12 wks old baying the cat, he's really getting serious about this cat and spends half of the day either treed or bayed on it. He caught it a few days ago and went to shaking, I thought it was great but the wife wasn't impressed. Lol

Posted by Travis O. on 04-10-2015 04:00 PM:

This is Crooked River Red Bandit (Gr Nt Ch Crooked River Red Turkey Htx x Gr Nt Ch Thompson Circle T Zoe) he is one special pup. He's a perfect representation for turkey offspring.

Posted by Travis O. on 04-10-2015 04:17 PM:

Turkey pups will be arriving in Iowa towards the end of April. Shadow is a sensible, independent, pressure, coon treeing female. She's owned by a hard to please hunter that doesn't tolerate nonsense from a dog. Once the pups are born I will post the contact info for these pups. I'm excited about this litter.

Posted by Travis O. on 04-12-2015 02:33 PM:

Here's some audio and video of turkey treed last night.

Posted by Hoosier Outlaw on 04-13-2015 02:28 AM:

Great video buddy....sounds good!

Posted by Travis O. on 04-18-2015 11:06 PM:

Early signs are good on turkeys pups. The oldest pups just turned 6 months old. Both of these pups are out of rouser bred females. The older pup belongs to Chris Snyder in Iowa. He's doing a great job with that pup.

Bad News Brown and Crooked River Bandit

Got some powerful stuff running thru their veins.

Brown grew up as every pup I own does, running loose on this farm. In my experience, there is no better way for a pup to teach themselves how to operate in the woods. This is the first, last and only released coon he will get.

Take a look at Brown and Bandit's pedigrees. See any similarities? Brown is out of Abby. Abby and Zoe are both out of brothers Griz and Rocky. I'm no geneticist, but I'm smart enough to figure that one out.

If you have a T-Top female, seriously consider this Turkey dog for the nick outcross you have been looking for.

Posted by Travis O. on 04-21-2015 01:29 PM:

Well, it's official that Chris Snyders pup "bad news brown" is gonna turn some heads. Last night he treed a coon on his own and held pressure in the process. Brown just turned 6 months old. Great work Chris, keep it up!

Posted by DCorbin on 04-21-2015 01:40 PM:

enjoying seeing the video clips of good dogs gettin treed, keep em rollin and good luck!

More Turkey Pups

Heard it thru the grapevine that Turkey is a dad again. Probably gonna be some nice ones to add to his resume as well from that cross.

Posted by Travis O. on 04-24-2015 01:24 PM:

Chris, you heard correctly. Here's a pic of the final count, 9 dark pups. So far turkey has been siring large litters.

Posted by Smoke on 04-25-2015 06:48 PM:

Looks like one if those pups is gonna make the move from the South Skunk River to Cedar Creek.

Shoukd be some nice ones.
