Need a squirrel dog prospect?

Folks:

Some of you knew already, some knew it was coming. I'm moving. For the past year, the impending threat of budget issues dragged on and on to the point I restructured and reduced my number of dogs. Then, things sounded promising and with the time I had, I figured I could start some pups to offer folks. Well, the time is upon me. Instead of waiting any longer in uncertain times, I made a move to have a say in my future. I have a few phone calls to return as I was out of town all weekend. But, as of right now here is what I have available.


-1 male feist pup (Six Shooter Simon x Gray's Prairie Daisy).

-1 lightly started female treeing cur (Born in January 2011). Has treed easy squirrels and has been running loose on my farm.

-1 female feist (about a year old) out of Yellow Mountain Copper x Combs' China II. 


These are listed in the order in which I would prefer them to go to new homes. Just as an FYI.

Ranger's a daddy again!

Gray's Lone Ranger was bred to Minnie on March 29th. She is a good, 4 year old, local feist female that hunts out to about 200 yards. Around 25 pounds. Barger stock bred.

I heard from her owner today and she had 7 pups on May 27th! As close to a 50-50 split as you can get on 7 pups for male vs. female. haha! 3 solid black. 3 black and white, 1 brown and white.

For additional information about this upcoming litter, please contact Lewis Stinson at 434-547-9894.

Gray's Prairie Daisy Turns 4!

Just wanted to let y'all know that Daisy turned 4 on June 4th. Daisy is one heck of a squirrel dog that thinks I'm better than that sliced bread stuff. She is a good mother and reproduces her traits well. I look forward to many more years hunting this fine female feist.

YARD WORK!

I have been doin' some yard work with Rosie and Colter. If you have trained bird dogs, it is similar to working them on a wing.

Usually, I use weedeater cord to tie around the squirrel but I am out...Been weedeating!

You can use a squirrel tail to tease the pup and improve interest. The point is to get the pups to understand what you want them to smell for and chase when you take them to the timber.

This isn't something I do all the time, just to get a pup excited. As you can see from the pictures, they really like it!

A fishing pole is great if you are just using a squirrel tail.

Update on Gray's Kit Carson

It's been a while since I posted much about Carson. He's doin' well, treeing. He's an intelligent young dog. Minds really well and I let him run loose around my farm so he can hunt at his leisure. Lately, he has been showing some pups the ropes!

Carson is out of Gray's Lone Ranger x Gray's Annie Oakley. Annie is now owned by Bud Slayton (TN-Budro).
