Nice Weather
Yes it is finally coming Doug. I'm sure glad it is. I see you have been hunting pretty regular. I hope your back is now much better.I went through some of that a few years back and I know how miserable that can be.
Thanks for giving us all the opportunity to get a piece of LE. He sure is a nice hound and is certainly doing his part to improve our breed. I'm seeing so many folks that are hunting young dogs off him that are liking them very much. You can sure be proud of that.
I am now playing with a NEW spring project. He is a little on the ugly side to look at but I sure do like his ability, and disposition. With a little fine tuning he seems like he just may suit me, LOL. I sent my Hanna female over to my nephew, he is starting to hunt again. He is treeing coon with her but she is still showing tendencies of being a little too tight on the ground for me. Some of that tightness is coming off Jays old female (Nt. Ch. Barrett's Starr) Starr was directly off Billy Blue and a female that was a Great Grand pup to Boyds Little Joe. Starr was a cooon Catching machine, but had a tendency to get pretty quiet on medium and cold tracks. That being said though, she was one of the best coon treeing hounds I ever followed. Didn't matter if it was 8:00 at night or two in the morning, she treed coons with ease all night long. My Holly female operates a little like starr as well.
Take Care Doug, Hopefully we can take some of these young prospects out and watch them work. Good Hunting to you!!
