Pretty Boy Floyd




The top photo is of Floyd pouting because Dean
went squirrel hunting with the young dogs and
he did not get to go. The bottom two are of him
treeing as Dean felt sorry for him and took him
along. He treed several. Dean got 6 squirrels in
less than 2 hours and that is pretty good work!
The Story of Floyd, Dean and Barb
Galla Creek had a litter of pups out of Spook
and Max. We named them after outlaws--
4 males, Pretty Boy Floyd, Baby Face
Nelson, Bugsy Seigel, and Clyde Barrow.
There was one female in the litter--Bonnie
Sue Parker. Barb has a daycare and had
a black and tan Feist that was good with
the kids in her care. He got a bad disease--
can't remember what it was--but when she
lost her Feist she wanted another one. She
looked on the internet and found our Feists
in AR...she fell in love with the white male,
Floyd.
Barb and Dean live in up state Ohio
and Dean kept Beagles to rabbit hunt, but
he really wasn't a big squirrel hunter.
Well, Barb told Dean she wanted a Feist
and a certain one in AR....Dean thought
she could find one a little closer to home.
Barb had her heart set on Floyd...so sure
'nuf Dean drove all the way here and got
Floyd for her. Now all these years later
the Feist is Deans and the Wrights
have made more trips to Galla Creek and
have a whole Kennel of Feists. Dean does
not rabbit hunt as much as he used to...he
is busy squirrel hunting!

Betty and Larry,That little white pup ruined me. I never knew a dog could be so solely devoted to a person.He is a GREAT squirrel dog but if he never treed another one he will have a home forever.I know a guy in Arkansas with a little red dog like that too.

Dean and Barb I love the picture of Floyd. I call it Poutin Boy Floyd. Just shows you our dogs have feelings.

That's cute and very true.When I don't take him and he smells the other dogs on me he flat ignores me for a while.
