-- He Did It !! (http://forums.ukcdogs.com/showthread.php?threadid=291315)

He Did It !!

HE DID IT !!
We set out at the beginning of this year to finish Tracker to GRAND in the Water Race & Field Trial events. We won a bunch and lost a few. The hard part for Tracker was not in performing the events, but for us to get him to the events. There have been lots of miles put on the ole hound hauler this spring & summer, but now the job is done ! It took Sam, myself and even the kids to help Tracker along the way. He made several of his wins @ some of the larger events held this summer. Just to name a few, he won Over-All @ the Indiana State Youth Championships & the ILL State Youth Championships in the Water Race Event. He made Grand Champion in the water race @ Black & Tan Days this year. He also made Grand Field Champ @ Plotts Days this past weekend. Not to say that he did his best at every competition. But I can say, we set our goals for these TWO 'Grand titles" to be made before Autumn Oaks this year & by golly, HE DID IT !!

I have reframed from showing him for his last Champion bench win to GRAND SHOW until we got these two titles in WATER & FIELD earned. It's now time to get this last show win and now see if Tracker is gonna have what it takes to earn his next title in the NIGHT HUNTS. This is our ULTIMATE GOAL for Tracker. Being that we do not competition nite hunt ourselves, this one has been put on hold until we got ALL of our other goals done first. Now, it's time to COWBOY UP, and get the job done !!

To alot of peoples surprise, Tracker won CHAMPION MALE REDBONE @ AUTUMN OAKS in 2007 with his previous owner. I have held this last Champion to Grand win on the bench with Tracker not because he can't win it, but because it is gonna be the easiest one to win. Where will it be won? Who knows. He will be showing one more time before AO. If he wins, so be it. If he doesn't, then we will give him one more shot at AO this year. Even if he doesn't win again at AO, I could care less. I know that Tracker is laughed at and mocked because of his size and his white toe nails. So, AO is gonna be one BIG order to fill, for my not so BIG boy with pretty toes. I don't expect for him to win @ AO, but they will all know he is there and we will have a great time trying!! There will be so many other nice hounds that have also worked very hard this year & I am looking so forward to seeing all of our friends we have made along the year.

Is Tracker THE best? HECK NO, but, he is OUR best. Tracker is my winner, win or loose! I guaranty that everyone that has met us and Tracker along this journey knows how much we love this hound.

I do want to thank everyone that has helped me and the kids when we have been on the road alone without Sam this summer. I am horrible at names. But, if you happen to read this, you know who you are. It has taken Sam having to stay home and work several weekends to be able to afford for us to drive the long distances to these events. Also, with both of my folks having major health issues this past year. It has taken my brother to fill in for me on the weekends here at home taking care of them while I have chased these titles. I have been blessed that Tracker has had so many wonderful folks, that have been so willing to help us pull this off. THANK YOU SO, SO MUCH!!

Sorry to babble on, I just couldn't sleep from the excitement of accomplishing our first goals this past weekend with our first competitive Redbone Hound !

Nice job, you didn't fasten that big bees nest to his tail did you?

Gotta warn you this stuff is kinda addictive . Once you get going it feels funny to stay home on Saturdays.

UM, retirement plan Mr. Young? Can you explain to me how that works in conjuction with these coonhounds? LOL...LOL


Thanks Lisa!
There sure has been alot of miles traveled for just the water race & field trial events. But, you know what, I would do it again and again. We have been to and seen places that we would have never otherwise bothered going to. KY, IL, IN, OK, MO, OH, AL, and SC. I wish I would take the time to take more pictures! I had never been to SC before until coming there for ya'lls AKC event. I hated I had to come alone. I know I would have gotten out and looked around the area more. But, I know we will be back. There are so many big events ya'lls way!

Congradulations Sabrina to you & Tracker. What a nice accomplishment. Im so happy for you. I know how much it means to you.

Thanks so much Bonnie,
You have been a very comforting support to us. I really appreciate it. It's funny how some of these hounds can develope such wonderful long distance friendships with folks. I can say without a doubt that when we very first got into this, your Gator was the first Walker that caught my eye. Keep doin' what ya'll do, you do it very well. Give him a good scratchin' for me!

WOOHOO!

Go Tracker!

Congratulations Sabrina, I know very well how hard you guys have worked this summer with him and all the others. That last win will be no problem for him!

Hey girl !! Woo hoo !! Thanks bunches !!

Hey, did ya see the pics I pulled up above? That is Pat...I think I have some more I will try and send ya.


OT.....Suzanne.....Are ya'll getting hit by that storm that is coming in the wrong dang direction?! Well, we are fixen to get slammed !!!! It's got every color in the rainbow in the radar !! Our power has been flickering for 1/2 an hour now. I am about to shut this thing down and sit by the radio I guess. It looks like it is gonna be a nasty one !! I have my candles all ready to light up. I know we are gonna be without power very, very soon !!



Goodnight all !! Wish us luck !!

Yea, I noticed Pat! I've heared people complain that all redbones look alike, but I would know him anywhere! Yep, keep sending the pictures! I swear one day soon I'm going to update our website... it's on that looonnng to do list! Can't wait for this breeding... How's Miss Magic?

You know the other storm that came through KY and TN and did so much wind damage earlier yesterday? It had all that lightening and flood water in it. Well, all we got was the wind. LOL. It rained a few drops, I was outside at the time and it didn't even rain enough to get me wet.

Storm last night? Hhmm... nope, it was a quiet night. Hope you guys came through it ok. I'll check the radar and make sure it isn't lurking out there waiting for us. The one earlier yesterday took FOREVER to get from Nashville here!
