Wayne Hawkins and Hard Tack

Wayne Hawkins came to Galla Creek to go hunting
and let Hard Tack see his birth place again. I enjoyed
the fellowship not just the squirrel hunt and hope he
enjoyed his stay.

Ozark Mts.

Our friend here (Wayne Hawkins) said he
really wanted to see the Ozarks. Here is the
view we showed him. He said it was as pretty as
he thought it would be.

Getting an Added Bonus!

Squirrel hunting is a great enjoyment in itself,
but as you hunt the country side you get an added
bonus of seeing the most beautiful scenery in
the entire world.

Opal Treed in Thicket!

Opal treed in this mess of briars
and it was like going through a maze
getting to her.

Feists Dogs Treeing a Squirrel

Little Feist Brown Sugar Treeing

Galla Creek Brown Sugar--Christmas Eve

Galla Creek Spud and Ohio Lia

Christmas Eve with Spud and Ohio Lia. Lia
is Spud's neice--out of Pretty Boy Floyd and
Nogo Nell. They hunted together like a team!

Hunting on Christmas Eve

We are going on a little squirrel hunt
today...taking Spud, Ohio Lia, Brown
Sugar and one more dog. I never hunt
a 'pack' of dogs together. Two is
all I like to hunt at a time. I
like to take four dogs and hunt
two and then rotate them. My picture
today is from Wayne Hawkins and is of
his friend, Jerry, and the small mouth
bass they caught. I am dreaming a little
today of summer and fishing Galla Lake.
Merry Christmas to all my Feist Friends!
I hope this next year is a good one for
all of us.

Squirrel Hunting with Feists Dogs

Jessie

Fred Allen in OK sent a new photo of
Jessie-out of Carolina Crossfire and
Spud. She's a looker. Fred wants another
pup just like her..here is his part of his
email to us!
Hello Larry and Family
Just a note to wish you and the family a very
Merry Christmas and a HappyHealthy New Year.
Jessie is growing like a weed and doing just
great. She is a live wire that loves to run
and play. When I turn the pointers out in the
evenings to run, Jessie tries to keep up but
she is a little short in the legs. Ha! I have
a squirrel in the freezer that I thaw out and
let Jessietrail it in the backyard. She will
try to chew the tail off of it when she
finds it. Jessie also gives our outside cat
fits at times, she got a little too close a
couple of times and the cat (Whiskey) swatted
her nose for her.I read on your website that
you were going to have some spring litters. I'm
thinking that I would like to get another female
from Carolina Crossfire ifit works out that she
has enough females. Jessie will need a buddy to help
corral these Fox squirrels.

Opal

Opal is just a year and a half. If
I had gotten all the squirrels she
treed and I saw, we would have
had eight.

Amos Moses' Pups

Steve Roark from Crowville, LA has two
male pups ready to go. The two pups
are out of Amos Moses and a Buckley
bred female. You can reach him
at this contact information.
Steve Roark 318-722-3539 or 318-729-5712
steveroark@yahoo.com

The little pup in the middle is
a female, but she is already sold.
Galla Feists has purchased her and
named her Galla Creek RoAnn after
Steve!! Can't wait to get her home.
She will be the first Feist we have
with blood from Gray Tails' Kennel!
The Buckley Dam is called Foxy Lady.
I think she is red in color. Her
parents are Jack Buckley's Clay
and Gypsy!! We are excited to own
a pup from Amos who came from our
Kennel and also one of Jack Buckley's
dogs!

Miss Pitty Pat's Brother & Sister

Here are Miss Prissy and Mister Wilkes.
We will have them until next Saturday.
Wilkes is going to LA and Prissy to
Kansas. Wilkes has a Pontiac emblem
on his head and maybe we should have
named him Turbo. Jim E had one more
pup but I did not get a good photo of
him before Danny Huffmaster picked him
up. He was black with white trim. We
called him Rhett Butler. Butler is at
Mamouth Springs, AR.

Miss Pitty Pat

Jim E Sue's pups are leaving Galla Creek.
This one is Miss Pitty Pat. She is a
pup out of Jim E and Spud. Jimmy South
bought her but Katie came to pick her
up...I think Katie is going to claim her!
The other pups out of the litter are:
Butler, Wilkes and Miss Prissy. We named
them after characters in Gone with the Wind!
Jim E Sue is a half sister of Belle Starr.
She was raised by Mike Dempsey who has
sinced passed away. Jim E Sue's father is Grand
Sq. Champ Allar's Fred and her Grandfather
is Old Langford's Rowdy!

Dean's Whelping Box!

Rain, rain, rain...is what weather
we are having. Dean bought this
whelping box and I would like to
build one similar. I will have to
find a place to buy that coated
wire. My whelping pens have
served their purpose well...but they are
cold, hard to keep clean, and ugly. I want
to build some new ones more like this one
Dean Wright has bought.

Oddity!

This buck was hit by a truck between
Little Rock and Pine Bluff recently.
I bet it scared the driver to death
thinking he had seen a ghost.

Dean Wright's Kennel

Dean Wright has just about completed
his new Kennel which is at his Dad's
place in the country near Ashland,
Ohio. Tia had 5 pups last night in
the new whelping kennel...4 boys and
one girl.

Seattle Slew Working the Caged Squirrel!

I keep this squirrel tube almost a
half mile from my house and when I
take a dog there, I only let them
bark at the squirrel a couple of
minutes.

Lookin' Up

Treed But No Squirrel

Dogs were treed in the field
below my house Saturday. Hurried
down to them, but they did not
have a squirrel.

Brown Sugar

Here is Brown Sugar last year
with her brothers and sisters.
She is out of Carolina and
Peanut.

Got one!

I've been watching you!

Children learn more by what
you do that they what you tell

Galla Feist Up North!

Amy Sawdoski sent a new photo of Tweek
with the message that she would like
another Feist. Having a Feist does
that to you ...makes you want another
one. We will hope that Carolina and
Spud will have a small male next litter
and he can move up to Minnesota with
Tweek. Tweek is a fly ball performer
and we are proud she came from out
Kennel.

Here is Amy's message:
Hello Larry,

Amy, Tweek’s owner here. Well, as you
know I just absolutely love Tweek
(Kate Freeman x Max). Tweek is 3.5
years old and doing just great. I’m
thinking that I may get another pup
from you in 2008. What I want tho,
is another small one like Tweek.
Tweek measures 12-13 inches at the
withers. I know that someone mentioned
that Feists on the smaller size aren’t
really bred for anymore. Do you ever
produce pups that small anymore? Tweek
is fixed, so she won’t be having any puppies.
I’m thinking about a male and I just love
Spud. I’d especially love to get a pup with
similar marking as Spud. What do you think?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Amy and Tweek!

Well, we think....it would be a great cross!
Spud is out of Max and a pup of his would
really go good with Tweek!

Sweet Little Ones

Little Button & Big Red!

This is another photo of Button and
Red. Button is half the size of is
her sister. Button and Red are
out of Spud and Carolina Crossfire.
They are half sisters of Brown Sugar.

Galla Creek Amos Moses

Steve Roark owns Amos now. We
sold Amos to Mike Joyner who
sold him to Steve. He is a
pure McAndrews Feist.

Determination

Olive Oyl is trying out the new dog house I
made from my old truck dog box. She thinks
it feels pretty good.

Little Galla Creek Button decided that
what a big dog can do...a little one
can do too!!

Buttons--Determined and Satisfied!!!

Retirement!

Since I have retired ...this is how I spend
most of my days. Galla Creek Bell

Hard Tack

Wayne Hawkins took Tack road hunting

Saturday. Just 10 months old, Tack treed

several times and Wayne sent us a photo of Tack

and his treed prize. Tack is a son of All

Cranked Up and Max. Cranky is a daughter

of Romeo and Frank Branch's Mandy. Max

is a son of Otis and Kloss' Lady. Romeo is

a son of Bell and Max. Kloss' Lady was a

Gerald Johnson Feist from Berryville, AR.

Tack is a nice Feist and we are proud he

has a great home in GA.

Quiet and Still Game!

If I am very still ...maybe they will
not see me...

well, they may see me for they are
looking right at me....

This is better ....I am out of sight...well, they
are still looking.

I will lay down here and then they

will not see me for sure!
