It's been a while since I've added to the blog. I apologize for that and firmly blame WSU for my lack of commitment. This quarter is very high maintence!
Yesterday, Razor celebrated his 13th Birthday! This is quite a feat for a redbone. We are very blessed to still have him with us. Even more remarkable is that Razor is still siring puppies naturally and we expect his newest batch of babies in early June. It will be a linebred Grand-father to Grand-daughter cross to Jade that should produce brains, ability, and looks. Exciting!!
Razor continues to climb up the reproducer's lists! He will fall off of the Current List soon because he has reached 13 but watch him continue to climb the historical list. :) We are so proud of him. In hunting news, another Razor pup climbs her way to her NITECH title. Congrats to Chris Conden & Amber who are now sitting pretty with 2- 1st place wins! Can't wait to hear about the next win that will make her Razor's newest NITECH!
In show news, as many have already noticed, I am sporting a couple of treeing walker dogs at the big ones this year. Angel & Gossip are owned by me and my youngest daughter, Kadie, and I am extremely pleased with them both. Angel just lacks 5 pts to Champion now and I will hold her back a bit to make that last win pack a powerful punch. Kadie will be showing her at the AKC Ohio Youth Championship next weekend. CAN'T WAIT!
The REAL BIG TALK though surrounds the new love of my show life, Gossip. G and I have bonded so much over the past couple of months and we are racking up a pretty nice win list already. In the last 2 months, we've picked up 30 purina points and 70 top ten points. Gossip is the nicest walker dog I've ever put my hands on and I feel very blessed to own him. No, it doesn't mean that I am deserting my redbones- that will never happen-- but what it does mean is that Gossip and his offspring have earned a place in this kennel. He is a pleasure to own, a pleasure to show, and a heck of a house dog to boot! :)
In other news... Rob has been hunting Edge (a littermate to Ransom) for Roger Prior lately and Edge and Ransom are becoming a great hunting duo. Rob is just starting to put Ransom in the hunts so hopefully, you will be hearing more about them soon.
Until next time... Enjoy your hound!
