Patsy Montana~Singing!

Rodney Porter sent us new photos of
Patsy Montana. First she was singing
at his wife's cat...but now she is
singing at all the squirrels. Patsy
is out of a daughter of Nogo Nell and
Amos Moses. She has the look of the Old-
Time Mountain Feist, as Nogo Nell was a
daughter of Old Rowdy.

Bonnie Sue's Pups Here

With ice buckets and a fan blowing
on her, Bonnie Sue Parker had 7 pups
last night. They may be the most
beautiful pups ever born on Galla Creek.
They are sired by Galla Creek Shooter.
Bonnie Sue is calm as a cucumber this
morn and glad the babies are all here
and doing good.

Snickers

Craig Adams sent this update on Snickers.
Snickers is out of All Cranked Up and Spud.
She is trailing a scent and looking good.
here is part of Craig's email:
I had Snickers in the back yard this afternoon and thought I would see how her nose would work. I made a drag on the ground about 20 feet long and then pulled it up in the tree about 4 feet; I played with her over that way and when she got a nose full off she went. Guess that nose is pretty strong, cause when she got up on that tree that made my day. lol I petted her up real good. I might have fainted if she had of barked. well i'll quite bragging on her.lol Thanks again, Craig

Passing the Genetics

I guess I passed the sq. hunting
gene to little Siggie!

Buckeye Dog Haulers

Mary Ann with Buckeye Dog Haulers came
and picked up Galla Creek Austin. She
is taking him to Lowell, Mass. This is
a first time for me to use a transport.
I think it will be a good way to send
a pup. Austin was going to be riding
in the air-conditioned van.

Snickers

Craig Adams sent pictures of Snickers and
we are so pleased with how she is looking.
I think his son may have taken her for his
dog....looks like it, doesn't it!



From Craig-- I hope these pictures get to you. If they dont make it just let me know i will try again, anyway 2 of them are of snickers with my son. She has her spot she likes to lay either on the quilt are in my sons lap, either place she no problem taking a nap. The other 2 pictures are of my male pup Rudy. He will be a year old august 1st. If there is water around Rudy's gonna take a swim.

Dr. John

Our Vet in Russellville passed away and we
started using Dr. John Davis in Dardanelle.
We are very pleased.

High Winds

Yesterday during the rain storm
a treetop was blown on top my squirrel
dog pen fence.

Galla Creek Little Tee

Little Tee is out of Pepper and Shooter.
She is a granddaughter of Old Rowdy.

Mt. View Pepper

This is Mt. View Pepper. She is a Sq. Champion
and a daughter of Old Rowdy. She is 10 years
old. A year younger than Belle Starr. She had
a litter of pups at this age. We have 2 of
them for sale. They are out of Shooter. Bruce
Blihovde owns Pepper.

Spud/Nogo Nell Pup

This is Tim Taylor's pup out of Spud/Nell
that he bought from Julian Swann. Looks like
he is getting the hang of things early as he
not quite 3 months old.

Zipporah about to burst!

Troy and Sherry Vance sent this picture of
Zipper...she is carrying Spud pups and is
due this weekend. Looks like she is about
to pop. Sherry is babying her.

Lucas Parks and Hawkins

Sq. Dog Central had an essay contest about
squirrel hunting. The winner was to receive a
pup of his choice and Lonetree was going to
buy him the pup. We were thrilled that Lucas
Parks won and wanted a pup from Galla Creek.
We donated the pup and he is going to have the
money to help with the feed and care of his Feist.

Today I met Lucas Parks' family at Harrison, Ar. He claimed
his pup and I loaned him Belle Starr (my old Mt. Feist that
stays in the house) to assist him and Hawk in their
squirrel hunting. I am anxious to hear how their
hunts go and hope Lucas will write another story
about hunting with an old Feist and hisyoung pup.
Lucas sister's are Allison and Lauren.
Lauren (the younger sister) said "I really like Hawk".
And Hawk loved all of them. Belle seemed excited
like she was going on a vacation!

Craig and Snickers

This is Craig Adams of DeKalb, TX.
with Snickers, his pups from Cranky
and Spud. Two pups are leaving today.
KK is going to Pelsor, Ark. but will
finally go home to LA. The folks have
a cabin in the Ozarks and are vacationing
there. Hawk is going to Harrison, AR
and will be picked up there by Lucas
Parks and then will travel to MO. Belle
is going to stay with the Parks family
a few months...I hope we survive until she
returns. She will be 11 in August. She is
going to help Lucas get his pup, Prissie
and Hawk hunting and treeing.

Few Squirrels Moving In

Red squirrel has been coming to my front
yard feeder and a few are in the Galla woods
behind my house, but not too many. Stuart
was treeing and I put him up as I hated to
shoot one of the few squirrels I have.

Tyler, Miss Belle and Bama

Pat Shores shared this photo of his Grandson, Tyler,
and his two special Feists--Bama and Miss Belle. Bama
looks a lot like Ollie, Spook, and Spud!

Lia and Spud~6 pups~July 9

Lia and Spud have litter of 6 pups--3 females
and 3 males. Lia is the best momma of all the
dogs I have. Today we took the litter to the
vet and he docked the tails and removed the
dew claws. I don't mind docking the tails that
much but I don't have the blood stop stick for
the dew claws and some of these pups had double
dew claws. Grandpa always said that made them
double good dogs.

Riding in Style

Dean Wright and his Spook/Max pup
are taking the high road.

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.

Gomer

Stephen Cagle sent pictures of Galla Creek Heath.
He is calling him Gomer. I think the name fits.
He says Gomer is settling into his new life
very nicely. Thanks, Stephen for sharing the
pictures. Gomer is out of Cranky and Spud.

Keeping An Eye on the Target

Once a pup running loose starts treein' good.
You need to kennel him...then when you let him
out he is rearing to go and you are too. I have
put Stuart in the Kennel. He was treed all the
time.

Astrid Olympics

This is a video of Astrid playing with the pups over at the Meadow.

Alamo and Will Keen

When Will Keen came to pick up Allie~Alamo, Dobs was treed
in the woods of Galla Creek. He went up and tried to
locate the squirrel but the woods were too deep and green
to spot bushy tail.

Galla Creek Amarillo

Nancy Branch of Huntsville, AR has
purchased Amarillo (Piglet). Nancy
owns another Feist, Sam Slade!
