Not really a brag but just wanted to show off a puppy picture. This little girl is from my Doc x Lucy litter.

Ridgeland

I just wanted to brag on Holly a little bit. She finished last season as the Ky NBHA Am Puppy of the year and had one derby placement. So far this year she has one derby placement and two Open shooting dog placements including a win last weekend. Here's a couple of pics.

I have learned that Lake Cumberland Feed is planning on being there with deals on dog food and supplies.

Also if you've got something to sell or trade bring it along (guns, garmins, dogs, etc.)

Thanks CJ. Last year was alot of fun. Hopefully the upcomming year will be too. There are a few quail around down here, but I didn't get to hunt much, to busy going to field trials!!!

You should come down and run some shorttails with us.

Ridgeland

Somewhere between $50 and $70. I will update when I know more for sure. We are going to try to finalize everything within 2 or 3 weeks.

I think it's even more impressive when you see the picture too. Awesome job Steve.

Not trying to horn in just be helpful. Here's a picture of Nickel.

Jim, I doubt I ever get on the map, but hope to raise some nice pups. In my mind this is Mike's line and he is a good friend to me. I hope to be able to help him continue them and in the meantime I get the benefit of owning and hunting some of them myself. I really enjoy the Nickel dogs and am raisi...

Ran Holly again Saturday. Second trial, second win!!!! This could get addictive. Thanks for looking. John

Branscum's Miss Holly and I ran in our first NBHA trial on 9/24. She won the Am. Puppy. I was really proud of her. I had never been to an NBHA trial before. I really enjoyed the format. Thanks for looking.

Ridgeland

Any body go to the meeting? I wasn't able to but am interested to know how it went.

Ridgeland

Maybe if you turn them loose earlier they start earlier??? My experience is very limited. I have shot out coons to him, but don't actively coon hunt him. Most often I will have gone out to look at the stars and hear him and then go see what hes got. He treed a bobcat across the road from my house an...

It took me about 5 or 6 dogs to get to Girty. I bought a few that were supposed to be started that I think were basically culls. In my experience the Kemmers are not real early starting. I think the biggest thing is you have to let them run loose and start treeing on their own and then put them up a...

Ridgeland

Thanks guys. I was bored when I posted this. I know you all proabably aren't real interested in the pedigree of a cur dog, but I have studied alot of pedigrees of different breeds of dogs, horses, etc. and you don't run across many lines that are bred like this. Girty goes back to 1 female exclusive...

I don't have a birddog to brag on yet so I will brag on Girty, my Mtn. Cur. He is the treeingist (sure that's a word) dog I've ever had. Here's a picture of Girty and his latest quarry. He is a versital dog has treed several different things for me. Let's see sq, big yellow tom cat, coon, sandhill c...

I want one just like this. "The Amesian Standard The dog under consideration must have and display great bird sense. He must show perfect work on both coveys and singles. He must be able quickly to determine between foot and body scent. He must use his brains, eyes, and nose to the fullest advantage...
