so far I AM PRETTY HAPPY I GOT 3 DOGS THAT SUIT ME PRETTY GOOD..AND THEN I GOT 3 PUPS I AM WORKING ON.. by rabbit season hopefully they will be ok i really done like keeping alot of dogs i prefer 4 or 5 right now i got 7 with a 9 week ole pup here. i just thought these were somethings we need to look at now so u dont have to go to trade day and buy something lol!good luck and god bless!

im ready as ill ever be...ive been taking it easy on them here lately because of the heat index being 105 but when cool weather hits they will get to run more than here lately...let the trials start

I am definitely ready as is my pack. My two primary dogs (Branko's Jack Tuffy and Branko's Snowflake Belle) turned three in the Spring and are really starting to shine and the new male pup (Pike Ridge Blue Bolt) that is around 9 months old is hunting well with them. My latest pup (Pike Ridge Bravanne) is a female that is around 2.5 months old and she is already trying to run with the pack. Boldest little bitch I have ever owned to date. I think she is going to be a good one. I plan to hunt her this season with my other three. I have solo ran and pack ran Blue and he can run his own rabbit already. Still needs some work but he shows promise. I am really anxious for rabbit season to arrive and plan to spend much time in the field.

looking forward to the chill in the air it was waaaaaaaaaaay to hot here today but i ran for 2 1/2 hrs. and had the whole pack out they did pretty good and preacher that thumper dog is going to be tuff!!!!!!!! i scored it using lp rules the best i could and did alot by sound being so thick and ole scrub lead the way then it was pretty close on down the line but a big gap between him and rest......

Preacher, I'm ready for that frost you were talking about! I'm getting pretty tired of the ticks and chigers....and I know these dogs are looking forward to the cooler weather.

I've got 5 running dogs right now and a Reggie pup that will be ready to start this fall. I am pleased w/ what I have at this time, but will miss that Timber dog I lost last season.

Ready and waiting . Got 4 that burn a rabbit up and keeping a pup out of two of them. going to try two hit the trails some this year. Bought a female off plowboy last year took her two 4 trails and placed in all four a 2nd 4th 5th and 9th. the only male that i have is her brother may take him two a couple this year her other brother championed out last year. All these dogs have parents and grandparents that have done good in the trails and then you can even gun hunt them. took a long time to get hounds like these. thanks plowboy.

thanks fast; ole thumper is looking good i have just ran him twice since i got him back from your house but both times he did really great and he was always in the right place and i don't know what you did to his mouth but i think he traded his puppy bark for a horn while he was over their in north east ga. i have been putting alot of time in on my pup and he has started and looking pretty good.. so now i am going to start running my whole pack and soloing the pup for a while......... and again fast thinks for all the help and i hope lenard works out good for ya.......

I think I'm setting pretty for gunseason and a little trialing. I've got two older dogs that are seasoned out and raring to go, 1 young dog, and even a couple of pups to start this year.

Preacher,
I'm going to try and get down in your neck of woods for some trialing this year. I'm hoping to get you as a judge in my Brandy's cast. I'm wanting to see those short little stumps you call legs keep up with her on a hot track .
I might even talk my dad into letting ol'Buster go

Our season opens here Sept. 1st- less than a month away!!!!!!!! got a seven month old pup that hasn't started yet, looking forward to hearing him the first time!!!!! My 10 month old has developed into a super jump dog, fast on the line, quick on checks, he's the first dog i started on my own, of course i didn't really have anything to do with it!!!!! I've been running at night spring and summer, so yeah, i guess i can say i'm definitely ready!!!!!! can't wait!!!!!
