Happy Father's Day

Honoring our Feist Fathers on Father's Day--

First--Vern Gosdin--Spud--The Voice!!

Shooter--great mouth and looks--half Beaty and half McA!! From the old Beaty Feist

of Peanut Beaty and a Dusty/Sally granddaughter!

Max a Million--steady producer of all around good handling and good treeing Feists!
Mr. Spud is my favorite--why because I raised him!!
Radio Flyer--not a copy--an original male from Dusty and Sally!

Spud loves Swimming

I took Spud over to Galla Lake so he could go swimming. He had a good time, but when we started home he tricked me and took a detour up on Crow Mt and stayed treed for about an

hour. Next time I take him, I will hook him to the Mule before we head home. He is a wonderful Feist dog!

Stuart and Paisley's New Home

When you live in a subdivision you have to consider your neighbors as well as your dogs. Kevin Fulgham has built a new kennel home for Paisley and Stuart, his two Feists from Galla Creek. I like the way he has a blind between the dogs and the more populated side of his neighborhood. This keeps them from running the fence and barking when kids are out playings--

Have one question or Kevin though--Where'd that big red dog come from?

Rocket--from New York!

It was wonderful to hear from Rocket this week. He lives in New York but does not sing on Broadway--just sings at the squirrels in the trees. Rocket is out of Jim E Sue and Spud and

was born in April of 2007. Here is the email--

Hey Larry,
I thought that you might like to see some pictures of Rocket in action. He loves to climb when treeing and often makes me nervous doing so. Just to let you know, he has been a great dog and the family certainly enjoys him. He loves the kids and likes laying around on the couch with everyone. Thank you so much again for the privilege to own one of your dogs. It was worth every mile driven and every penny spent. He is a blessing.
Sincerely,
Tom Leubner Marcellus, New York
These pictures are right in our back yard. One of these pictures Rocket is 12 feet up in the tree!!!

Galla Creek Rowda

Got new pictures of Rowda from the Bowen family. We really wanted to keep

Rowda because of her link to Ole Rowdy...but she was a little to shy to have

around 20 dogs. We knew she would be happier in a home where she was

queen of the yard. The Bowens seem perfect for her. We often listen to the

caller on the phone and if we think we can match a dog to an owner we go

forward. If we don't think it sounds like a fit we don't. We judged this family

correctly. Rowda loves her home.

Ms. Betty and Larry, Here are some pictures of Galla Creek Rowda-we call her Sugar.Sugar is 3 months old now and doing great! Joshua and Olivia are absolutely in love with her.Josh is always taking her all over the yard looking for squirrels and we've already seen her chasing some around the yard.She is free to roam where she wants and seems to be so happy.We live on Lake Catherine in Hot Springs and she really enjoys being down by the lake and watching the kids swim-she likes the water too.We already got her one squirrel tail and hopefully we'll get another soon so we can start working with her more and more.We are hoping she'll be a really good tree dog some day! We'll send more picstures as she grows.Take care,Rodney,Gabriela, Joshua and Olivia Bowen
