Never mind me! I just found his pedigree early in this thread. After looking at his papers, I think I need to stay with Rocky, should niche better with my females.
Adios,
Gary

Well is was more exciting around my life today than watching dragon flies catching skeeters off the neighbors pond. It started out with me going to the farm to get Gertie. No problems. I head out west to I-75 and north to meet Hayseed in Gaylord. I'm about 30 minutes from the meeting when I meet State Trooper Flick at my window after being clocked at 81 mph. He was a nice fella and let me off with a warning about my speed and that north of Roscommon I-75 was getting nasty due to snow. Man was he right! I made it to Jay's where Hayseed and Gus were waiting. Gertie decided that she had to empty her bowels into my dog crate, so that was a mess. Didn't have much time to talk with Hayseed or Gus, as they were itching to get off the main land and back to the island. I stopped for a quick bite and headed south. I hit bad roads and snow south of Grayling on I-75. I had a couple close calls, but was making it fair going down the road. That is until I hit mile marker 205. I was in the left lane getting horrible back wash from the car ahead of me that was making it hard to see. I check my mirror and had room to go back into the right lane. I hit my turn signal and as I turn the wheel, I caught a pile of slush in the middle of the road which spun me backwards into the center median where I flipped my car a nice 360, breaking of the back bumper and breaking the rear axle. It's surreal to be going backwards at over 60 mph, and more so to realize your flipping over and stuff in your car is hitting your body from all angles. I ended right side up. My hands, feet and body were in the same position they were when this adventure began. Luckily some folks stopped to help and called 911. Less than five minutes later, 2 nice sheriff deputies rolled into the scene and they treated me well. The wrecker came and it was a local legend out of Sterling, Michigan who turned out to be a godsend for sure. His name is Mr. Harry Eccot owner of Sunrise Side Towing in Sterling, Michigan. Wonderful man. It turned out the nice sheriff deputies I met and who made sure I was taken care of were no less than Arenac County Sheriff James Mosciski and Undersheriff Donald McIntyre. I lucked out and got the best available, that's for sure. As Mr. Harry and I headed into the shop, we counted 8 more wrecks in the 12 miles we drove to the Sterling exit. They all happened within a 10 minute window off time when mine occurred. While waiting at the shop with Mr. Harry for the next 3.5 hours as I awaited my brother-in-law to come and get me, I had a nice time talking with Mr. Harry and his crew. I am indebted to Mr. Harry for his help as I called my insurance agent, as well as to my brother-in-law who braved nasty driving himself to come from Port Huron to get me. Thanks Brother Joe! To Sheriff Mosciski and Undersheriff McIntyre... I owe you both a big thank you too! The trip home with Joe was uneventful and it was nice to spend some time with my brother-in-law, who always has treated me too well. The wrath of my wife when I got home is another matter.

By the way, I had a colonoscopy yesterday and it was found I have colitis, with ulcerations... Not been a good week.

I also got home to find only 5 puppies in the whelping crate. After a quick search, I found Pat Quintance's pup in a dog box in the backyard. Momma Crow must have decided to start moving a few today, but only got one moved. Pups are so bid know I don't know how she even got that big dark male that far... What a day!

All this trouble that I somehow survived today got me to thinking about all these calls, e-mails and post from folks wanting to know this or that, or have me post pictures or pedigree... I just want to say no more tire kickers... please.!

If this cross on Rocky and Gertie holds and is made, it will be a cross due only to the grace of our Lord above and a Hayseed from Drummond Island, that's a fact.

If you want a pup... let's talk. If you want to kick tires... there are plenty of other pup sellers on here to do it with... I have 2 male pups out of Slew x Crow, 3 weeks old today. $250.00. Nice pups. Plenty of information in this thread to read up on the parents and their histories.

If Rocky and Gertie knot, Pups will be $250.00 with $50.00 deposit before whelping. After whelping any unbooked pups will be $300.00 each.

After all, this poppa needs a new car! Or truck...

Thank you if you took time out of your day to read this!

Mike reported in tonight that Gertie and Rocky knotted up yesterday. He's going to bred them again tomorrow, and maybe one other time before sending her back to me next weekend. Good news to end an otherwise bad weekend!

Posted by notellm on 04-02-2012 03:44 AM:

Sounds like a ruff few days for ya, Glad you made it out of the wreck alright. Good to here Gertie and Rocky knotted up too!

Posted by Jim Bartley on 04-02-2012 04:47 AM:

Hey Larry, good to hear from you! Mike says he has to take it easy with ol' Rocky... Gertie bought wore him out the first time! Mike says he wants to save some of that for his gyps when they come in!

Posted by Bullpine on 04-02-2012 04:13 PM:

Glad to hear you weren't injured in that wreck Jim. Sounds like a trip that you won't forget for many years. I also believe that meeting folks like that will have it spin offs for years to come as well. As a policeman, people only see the uniform and not the person wearing it. I tried to treat folks like I would want my family treated, and it paid off many times over.

The pups I have seen out of the females bred to Rocky, are some awesome hounds. They will make a difference in any pack. From talking with Larry last night, that sounds like a outstanding cross your making. Bear hunters should take note of it.

Hope your medical issues get sorted out as well.

Wes

Posted by Jim Bartley on 04-05-2012 03:33 AM:

Thanks for the kind words Wes. Rocky and Gertie seem to have done their work, hopefully it will be a fruitful union and we will have pups in June. Still have two nice males off Slew Foot x Crow for sale for $250.00 each.

Posted by Scot Crandall on 04-05-2012 01:55 PM:

Hey Jim I hope your feeling better, say if you get a chance throw up a new picture of those pups.

Posted by Jim Bartley on 04-06-2012 03:35 AM:

Scot - Here's updated photos (not good ones) of the two females.

Posted by Scot Crandall on 04-06-2012 02:48 PM:

Looks pretty good Jim, Iwould bet Crow is about ready to let them start munching on some puppy chow here pretty quick.

Posted by Jim Bartley on 04-06-2012 08:07 PM:

I've been feeding them for 4 days now. Starting to wean them off Crow. Wormed them last night, as well as ol' Crow. Ready to go in 2 weeks.

Posted by notellm on 04-08-2012 05:05 AM:

Hey Jim, pups are looking good! Glad they are all healthy. Say, I know you have a lot on your plate, but if you get a free minute, I'd love to see a picture of Gertie. Take Care, hope all is well....Larry

Posted by Jim Bartley on 04-09-2012 03:18 AM:

Here the whole brood sleeping the afternoon away...

Posted by Jim Bartley on 04-09-2012 03:22 AM:

Here's Star Burned... I didn't pose any of these pups well, but I was alone...

Here's Blazer... again sorry for the poor pose...

Here's the male pup I call Diamond Back... Again, sorry for the poor posing of the pup, I was alone on this...

Posted by Jim Bartley on 04-10-2012 03:58 AM:

One of these pups above are sold. Just waiting for the buyer to choose which one he wants, or I'll choose for him. The other two are still for sale. Two males, $250.00 each.

Posted by Jim Bartley on 04-11-2012 04:59 PM:

The top two males are still for sale. The buyer selected Diamond Back. I will post new posted of the top two pups soon. $250.00 each. Can deliver to Bluetick Days in Ohio next month if needed.

Karl and the boys went up to run bear on the last weekend before the state shuts us down until July. Karl packed his Ben x Crow female Lucy Lou with him. I hope they get something treed and he can get me some photos to post. There is a lot of redticks in that pack, but they are all grandpups to my old Poorboy hound - heavy Vaughn and Smokey River Diamond Jim blood

Posted by Bullpine on 04-14-2012 05:46 PM:

Jim, have you got any pictures of Gertie. I would like to know more about her as well.
Thanks
Wes

Posted by Jim Bartley on 04-14-2012 06:00 PM:

Gertie is 6 years old. She is out of Poorboy x Star, two of the best cooners I every owned. Gertie suffered a severe injury to her front leg when she was a pup. I hunted her when she was younger, but she would pull up lame. She can run and tree a coon, but I quit hunting when she was a couple years old due to the issues with her leg. Gertie will digs out of her kennel once in a while and trees my sister's cats up on the farm and has stayed treed for hours until someone comes home or I get called to put her back in and fix the kennel.She's got a great personality. I don't have a photo of her, but I will get one posted when I get her back from Mike. I've wanted to cross back onto ol' Bud for years, and with Rocky I'm getting a double shot of him, which is great. Here is Gertie's pedigree, old Vaugh and SR Diamond Jim blood in her background:

Got a voice mail from Karl Stacer. It appears he will not be selling Lucy Lou back to me for a coondog. It appears she made quite a showing this weekend on bear... "outstanding" was the words Karl used to describe her. I believe all the hounds in the pack... all youngs... are all grandpups or great-grandpups to my old Poorboy hound... even the redticks.

Posted by Bullpine on 04-16-2012 01:45 AM:

Thanks for the information Jim. Appreciate it. Look forward to seeing her Picture.

Posted by driller on 04-16-2012 02:10 AM:

Picture

I am with Bullpine, I would like to see one also. I like that pedigree for sure.

Posted by Jim Bartley on 04-19-2012 03:32 AM:

I lost my traveling companion for my trip to Drummond Island on Friday to get Gertie and drop off a couple pups at Mike and Amanda's for Mike and Pat Q. Seems that Mr. Cam O'Mara - a soon to be graduate from Delta College - landed himself a job with the Sanilac County Sheriff's Department (I knew I should have warned Sheriff Gary about him!) working the Marine Patrol this summer. Friday morning Cam gets sworn in as a Deputy Sheriff! Congrats you darn (my edit before UKC does it for me) Irishman! (A cop who is Irish... what's the world coming to). Karl Stacer cannot come for the ride for he's bought himself a nice litte hunting and fishing lodge up on the north end of Hubbard Lake and has to finish up that deal. It looks like I might once again be traveling solo to the great northland...

Posted by Jim Bartley on 04-20-2012 12:48 AM:

Scot Crandall left an hour ago with his new female pup out of Crow x Slew Foot. Going to Drummond Island tomorrow morning to drop off two more pups and bring Gertie home. I hope to have pups on the ground off Gertie x Rocky the end of May.

All times are GMT. The time now is 05:21 PM.
