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!

Galla Creek Ann

Ann is out of Sparky and Amos. We have her

sister, Good Gollie! Tom Collins in Texas

owns Ann. Ann's already treeing!

Rodney Fontaine

Rodney is working Tressie with a squirrel

tail here. He said she wanted it but did not

bark...my hint for getting a dog to bark is to

get them really excited about what ever

they are doing and I can nearly always make

them bark. I think Tressie's bark will come.
