Story of a Boy and his Dog

Caleb Owenby sent another picture of Gator
and himself after a hunt. Caleb lives in Georgia.
He found Galla Creek Kennel on the internet and
he dreamed of squirrel hunting with a dog. He
showed the site to his father...but GA and Arkansas
are quite a ways apart. Well, Caleb presisted and
the family planned a vacation out west and routed
their journey by Galla Creek. We gave Caleb a choice
between a pup and Gator. Gator is out of Radio Flyer
and he was under a year old but treeing the squirrels
in the pen. Caleb picked Gator as his dog and the family
went on their vacation, but when it was over they
traveled back and picked up Gator.

Caleb said that he and Gator were great companions right
away, but he did not really take off treeing like Caleb
hoped, but I guess Caleb loved Gator anyway and this
year...it all clicked! Caleb sent us this picture today of
Gator and his take of squirrels. We are so proud of
Caleb Owenby. He will love squirrel hunting the rest of
his life. And I bet he will be a good dog trainer too!
