Who's running in this heat ???

[Pine MT Beagle Runner]

I agree with Maple Valley and RAD.

First off, I have not run dogs in any trials. But I may in the future.

I have read about several trials on this board all throuhgout the summer. If you don't condition your dogs to run in the heat as well as the cold, you are just asking for trouble. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying run them to death in the heat or the cold.

I just weaned a litter of seven pups off my Pine Mt. Dyer's Eve. I as well as my son have soloed here a few times in the last three weeks. Just trying to get her back in shape.

My step-dad on the other hand has kept his dogs tied all summer, mainly to keep them out of the garden. He has on that is really fond of duck eggs.

This past Saturday we hit the strp mines at about 8:30pm. His Zero dog jumped the first rabbit, his ram dog harked in, the race was on. After about, I'm guessing 3-5 minutes both his dogs quit the rabbit. By this time my Eve had picked up the race and kept it going for 45 minutes by herself. It was still upper 80's to low 90's. Because my dog was conditioned better she out did older and more experienced dogs. How ever the second race was just as long or longer, all three dogs stayed in. When it was over we calle the dog in for water, Eve drank half a 16 ounce bowl and went back to hunting on her own. Zero and Ram drank 2 and 3 bowls respectfully, then laid around the truck resting before they rejoined the hunt.

If a dog cannot do what I need it to do, it will not stay at my house. If the dog can't stand the heat as well as the cold, cull it.

We've been running our hounds in the early morning. If we can't run them in the field, then I will put them on the dog walker. I think you better have hounds ready to trial if you are going to trial this month. Just an opinion.

i only had one dog quit on me,it was my choice to call the others in,rowdy never quits,but when i bought him back a few months agomhe was way overweight,and still is,i know that is why he quit,as for my iron eagle blood,they have no limits,no quit,i have no reservations about them runnin all day,but i choose not to push my luck,after seein what my bawler dog went through last year when he had a heat stroke,i would not risk it,they will be ready,i know they will.

Ive heard that before...LOL Sounds Like a RS saying.

RAD Thank god yall put em thru the paces. Cause from one extreme to the next, Im either sitting in front of an AC in these temps or a heater when it gets too cold...lol Dont know about my hounds but Im way too delicate to be exposed to those types of weather patterns...

[J.C. Blair]

do you think i realy care............any dog can be beat any day...........you are disgracing my name and callin me names on here,we will be at a hunt together......remember that..........i have called you,pm'd you and tried to smash this beef but you choose not to,eventualy it is gonna blow up,is that really what yopu want jimmie,hve i ever called you names,made fun of you,no

this is a public plea to smash this grudge fest and this beef,are you man enough to let it go,or are you gonna be a lil bullie and keep it up?

i am a man,i don't need to flex my muscles from miles away and then stay home.

if you have a problem with me,you know that i am at a hunt just about every weekend,your buddies come to the hunts but you styay home................let it go,smash this beef before one or both of us get kicked out of arha.

I aint chad or brad they chose too hang , ol jimbo rides alone.

This is between you all leave me out of this. I can't speak for Brad, but I'm not a part of this so-called dark side. I'm just Chad, and leave it at that. Jimbo I consider you a good friend and have run down the road with you many a mile. You couldnt be more wrong about where my loyalty runs, I've always helped you when you needed it. I'm just tryin' to finish a dog.

Rufus I'll agree 110% with that. I've heard that story about Ol Voo more than once, thats insane desire, what we should all strive for. I got a big male here at the house, that has plenty of grit, gutted him in indiana in the strips with the big boys for days in a row, just ask ol Jimbo. Toughest young hound I have put hands on in a while. The heat is a killer for sure, done everything in my power to keep some 1 1/2 week old pups cool and still lost 4 out of 6. Just bad luck I guess. I hate summer pups. I sure am ready for october weather to get here.

Let the fat rabbit have it,

AND YES I BREED BY THE SAYING--- NO FEAR IN THEIR EYE'S --NO QUIT IN THEIR HEARTS--NO RESPECT FOR THEIR OWN BODIES---
IF YOU DON'T HAVE THAT --GOOD LUCK-------

Rufus, I would say that you are successfully breeding to this standard. Will and Jimmie have done got me hooked on these dogs ya'll are breeding and both credit you and your breeding for what they have. I'm just an ol rabbit hunter that loves to watch a dog work and in 30 some odd years of shootin over dogs I have never seen dogs with as much drive and shear hatred for rabbits as these. No fear in there eyes---no quit in there hearts---and will flat out abuse themselves get'n after it.

when reading some of these posts on here it makes me sit back and think there are people that crash cars trucks motorcyles and every thing else on purpose even people that jump from a cord off a cliff and even jump out of a perfectly good air plane and alot of these people die so with that being said it doesnt make them look tuff moncho or cool it makes me laugh and say yep my records gettin better theres one more person that i am smarter than what im saying is even the best trained athletes in every catergory takes a break every now and then. hope everyone has good runnin and good luck
