So Long to my NC and VA friends

The move to ohio for me and my family has finally in full gear. I will be living in West Chester when we close on our house next week. I would like to thank all of the good folks that I have trialed against in both NC and VA over the last 5 years; Especially the guys from Ben's Knob Beagle Club namely Brice McGlammery and Don Short who welcomed me into the club on my first visit and taught me all of the rules. My buddies Ray Threadgill and DAvid Medlin who it seems like I always ended up in the finals against over the last 5 years.(These guys have the most dog power that has never been seen at a big 5 hunt) Glennard Randall for starting countless puppies for me over the last 5 years. Mike Crabtree for being my running buddy when it got too hot to run in NC and trying to make me drink beer all night while we ran dogs on his farm in VA. The UKC Club down in Randolph County, specifically Jeff, Coy and Jerry Stacy for inrtoducing me to UKC trials. Last but not least my kennel partner Alan Buster who has kept dogs, carried dogs, ran dogs and done everything else for me over the last few years. I will remain a member of Ben's Knob Beagle Club so get Angel's Champion Class Hound of the Year Trophy ready and possibly Uno's Open class HOY trophy ready if nobody tops his 1st and 6th at the last 2 trials. (LOL) Alan will still be running Big Dog Kennels(South) so boys don't get too comfortable.LOL

I wanted to wish you well in your new town, you are in Beagle country. WE are going to miss your company at Ben's Knob and it's been fun running with you. By the way my Lucky Dog has a 1st and a 3rd in the opens. (LOL) I championed out Bluetick Jesse at the Mars Hill trial.

Keep in touch - threadgill@ctc.net

Good Luck

Big Dog, If I were to move from where I live now, Ohio would be my choice of state, there is alot of game in what I have seen in Ohio. Good luck with your move. I also get to Kernersville N.C. with ABF and stay at the Quality Inn and that seems like a nice area also, especially Prissy Polly's

Good luck with the move. Thanks for all your time educating me on dogs, trials, and judging. Person Beaglers thanks you for supporting our club with entries and judging. Thanks for selling me Socks. She put me on the map so to speak.
I will be in touch and look forward to running against you in the future.
