Raider/Daisy Pup to Missouri

Wade came this morning and picked
up his pup from Daisy and Raider.
His Dad and Mom from Little Rock
came along to see the dogs. Wade
lives in Missouri. We are holding
him to his promise of sending photos
back of Mellie. The motto of Missourians
is show me and we hope he will
show us photos of Mellie as she matures.

Intruder

Today an intruder ventured into my yard on Galla Creek. The Kennel dogs really were upset. I can pick out the barks. Dobs is a high pitch. Stuart's is deep. The first Kennel has Stuart; then All Cranked up is in the next one; then Jim E Sue, Dobs, Shammy, Opal and Bonnie Sue. Bonnie Sue is like her mother, Spook, she is not wasting her breath when she is in the Kennel. Spook is in the same Kennel as Stuart and I doubt she ever stepped out. Let Bonnie or Spook out and you will see them go....and bark.

Earl Wilkerson and Snowball

This was taken in the 1990s. It is Earl
Wilkerson and his famous Snowball dog.

Ol' Hickory

Sterling Earhart sent pictures of Hickory. He
sure is looking good. Sterling has another dog
Sam and they are hunting together.

Carolina Crossfire

Carolina is out of Charlie Cross' Brownie.
She is from as far east Tennessee as you can
get. Her mother's ancestors came to Tennessee
from North Carolina. I named her in honor of
Francis Marion, the Swamp Fox. He would get
the Red Coats in a crossfire in the Rev. War.
He fought like the Cherokees. Carolina is a
very nice little benchlegged Mountain Feist.
Benchlegged refers to the way her front legs
are formed. Looks like she is standing over
a bench from the front like an Old English
Bulldog. I have bred Carolina to Spud, but I
do not think the breeding took.
