Buck said that he had to stay home to take care of and start training his new pups. He has a picture of 3 week old King Kong treeing on the "Look At What Holds" post. He must really be doing good with Tom's "laying the foundation" tips.

This is Little Man he is the runt of the litter. 60 bark's a min but he may be a sit down tree dawg. Not bad for three week old pup





King Kong is getting after it too.

Those are great pictures of the little guys Buck, I can see they're ready to start treeing already so...won't be long now...eh?

Dave was out last night and took Griz and Bo for their initial run together...he had a pretty good night and some decent dog work for them being together for the first time.

On this first tree, he turned loose in an abandoned farm yard and he says they took off, swung around and treed right in the yard not far from the truck...Dave thought they must be crazy but there was a coon there.




The last tree of the night was made below our place on a spring ditch. They drove it into a corn field and down the whole length of it and came treed hard...they were blowing this down...he likes these dogs...




What they couldn't blow down...Griz was doing his best to chew down...gotta get the coon somehow...eh?


Dave had about 15 pictures from last night and they were all keepers. The dogs got along real well and were very VERY intense on these trees...good stuff. There's a little ways to go yet but it sure looks like it should be a fun rest of the summer.

I was thumbing through my last bloodlines and was looking at the Redbone Performance Sire list. Doc is the sire of 8 males on the list and Rabble came in second with 7 males on the list. I know that being on the list, doesn't neccessarily mean they are reproducing, but it was interesting to look and see who the dogs are out of.

Hey Tom Hussler finally made his first split tree and stayed till i got there about 20min. All in all he's doing purdy good.

They were treed about 10yds apart. As you can see this is all cut over timber. Very rough.

All right Tom, how did y'all do in the competition hunts this week end? (You don't think that I am just going to go away, do you?)

Tim I am proud of the way Hussler is doing and I am sure pleased with the way you are keeping the Ace pups in the woods. Nice picture. I bought another female this week end. She has a lot of the best of Hoffmeister's and a shot of Zack in her. She is out of Willie top and the Bottom has some of the best reproducing females in the Breed. Dave

Oh my goodness, y'all were only around those Va Cartel boys for 3 days and just listen to those excuses rolling out! You have enough for a whole month. What if Buck had said "It's too hot" Sat night? He knows how to get-er-done. I will have to get him to call you on Thursday with a pep talk. There is a RQE in Valders, Wi this Sat night. I'll bet that Joe and Deuce will be there while you are kicked back on that couch watching TV.

Too many days had passed without Tom on board. I knew something was up. I called Tom yesterday. He sounded terrible. He thinks it is Lyme. He has started treatment and hopes it will start to kick in soon. In the mean time, losts of rest is in store.

It's been awhile since I've been on here but Dave has been getting Griz and Bo out and about now and then so I thought I'd catch up on a few photos that he managed to get...

Griz is looking good...


This is Bo on the wood...


These guys look real good together...




It's gonna get hot over the next week so we won't put the dogs in a tough spot at night. It will be cooler overnight towards the end of this coming week so we'll get them back at it when it's fit to be out.

I sympathize greatly with anyone who has had to battle Lymes, this has been and it continues to be the worst I've ever felt for an extended period of time...I'm on antibiotics and I'm hoping they start kickinig in soon. I appreciate the well wishes I've received, it helps deal with it for sure.

I had heard that another top dog in Wisconsin had contracted Lymes. I didn't realize that they were talking about Tom! How long is the normal recuperation time?
