Whether its about me or my line of dogs this time...or last, its a pattern with this guy to target particular people and certain lines of dogs in the redbone breed and talk bad about them. I guess it would be different if it were criticism in a way that was useful or helpful to the breed...but its more like a vendetta against people he doesn't agree with and the line of dogs they hunt. Most people already know how the guy is and I see very few people who ever post on any of his threads....but I worry about new people just coming into the breed having a very bad experience with this guy or having their first redbone ruined at his hands.
It bothers me a little to think about that, but I got it off my chest and I am on to more important things.
One of the best things we can do as a breed is try to help one another to produce better redbones, but also represent our breed with integrity. Working together to help those with less experience in our breed to learn what those of us who have been in the breed for many years have learned is an important part of this breed growing and improving.
I see a lot of people from other breeds wanting to make the switch to redbones. I think this is a good thing. If we can put a well bred pup in their hands that will make a good dog someday, or give or sell them a really good prospect...they may be hooked for life like most of us are.
I do have some good news on Breanna, as Mark hinted to, I take her for walks everyday to try to build her muscles up in the leg she had operated on. Every day we go a little further back across the field behind my house and yesterday we made it to the woods. Bree took off through that woods and got about 300 deep before I knew it and I heard her open. It was about noon and I had to get back to the house soon to get ready for work so I headed that way to see what she was doing. I heard her open a few more times and as I got closer I could see her trailing in an area that had several beech den trees and a lot of big old growth maples and oaks. When I started searching the tree tops I saw a coon laying out about half way up a den tree in the bright sun light. As she trailed over and got closer to the tree he was in I took a few steps and a limb I stepped on cracked and that coon looked right at me. Then Bree located that tree and I watched as the coon walked back down the limb and crawl into his hole. Bree flipped over to a hard steady chop like she always does and I listened to her tree for about 5 minutes. I have been very worried that having her hip removed may prevent her from ever being much of a hunting dog again...but aside from standing at the base of tree instead of up on the side...she looked and sounded like the same old dog. I am very happy for her, because she loves to hunt and now it looks like she will be able to do that in the future.
