Amen Corner--Stand & Testify

When I received this email from Mo Eckle, I felt as good

as I do on Sunday when folks stand and testify!  Thanks,

Mo, for these encouraging words.  Also, posting some new

photos of part of the new Lia/Max litter.

Here are the 3 Lia/Spud males from her litter last summer.  

The first male is Flint--Tommy Collins owns him and he is treeing.

The middle male is Gunner--Wayne Hawkins owns Gunner and he is

treeing.

The last male is Rocket--Mo Eckle III owns him and we had not heard

from him until yesterday--here is what he says about Rocket!!!

Hello Mr. Larry and Mrs. Betty,

I just wanted to give ya'll an update on Rocket. He has been with a friend 

of mine's Dad for a couple of months now and has made quite an impression. 

At first he didn't want to get too far away from Mr. George and go hunting, 

probably from so much "lap" time at our house.

But his son, Pete, called me the other day laughing to tell me that his Dad 

called him from the woods the other day and he couldn't hardly hear him 

because Rocket was barking treed so loud. Mr. George said that Rocket 

was one of the smartest dogs he has ever worked with.

Mr. George and his family rode to town on horseback about a mile away. 

Mr. George didn't realize that Rocket had followed them the whole way. 

He was afraid that he would get hit so he told his grandson to get him. 

His grandson got off his horse and put Rocket on the back of the horse 

and he just stood there by himself until his grandson got back up on the 

horse. Then rocket rode the rest of the time in Mr. George's grandson's lap.

He is also apparently quite the field rat dog, Mr. George said that the field 

rat's around the barn don't stand a chance if Rocket is around. Mr. George 

was standing around with one of his coon huntingbuddies talking about what 

a great little dog Rocket was and Mr. George's buddy said that he has never 

seen a feist as sharp as Rocket. He wanted to know what kennel he came 

from so I gave him all the info about Galla Creek Kennels and the website info.

So don't be surprised if you get contacted by some more Tipton and Lauderdale 

County, TN folks.

Thanks for Rocket. When he really gets going I'll be getting back with you for 

another Galla Creek pup.

Sincerely,

M.O. Eckel III

Here is a new photo of part of the new Lia litter. The creme

colored male goes to David Beach. The spotted male is the

Spradlin's of Shawnee, OK.  The male with the dot on his head

goes to Middleton-Parker!  The female pup with the wide blaze

will move to Jimmy Redman's home!  We hope these turn out

as good as Lia's last litter!
