I would like to take this opportunity to announce the winners of our T-Top Kennel pup give away. We sponsored a contest to give two pups away to some lucky youngsters who might not otherwise have the opportunity to own a top bred pup. One of the pups we are giving away is out of Gr. Nite Ch. PR Peel's Little Pepper and Dual Ch. PR T-Top Dizzy Dame (Biscuit) The other pup is out of Dual Gr. Ch. PR T-Top Rabble Rouser and PR T-Top Dark Angel. Rabble Rouser is out of Gr. Nite Ch. PR T-Top Tree Talkin' Red Rat and Dual Gr. Ch. PR T-Top Rock-N-Red Raven and so is Biscuit. Angel is out of Gr. Nite Ch. PR Hoffmeister's Red Bomber.

We offered these pups to two youngsters but after running this contest for over 3 weeks and announcing it via several of the message forums, we ended up with 3 entries...I couldn't see contacting one of these youngsters to tell them that they were the one that didn't win a pup so...after some thought, we have decided to provide a pup to all three of the youngsters who entered the contest.

The winners are Courtney Cramer, Dillon Lentz and Jennah Sawyer so if you know them give them a big congratulations because I know that all three are delighted to win and are all eagerly looking forward to getting their pups.

I'm glad to see people do stuff like that for kids who can't buy a dog theirself. Their's a man that goes to our church that has a nephew who has his heart set on a Beagle pup for Christmas, but can't afford to spend much money on one. If he wanted a Bluetick or English I could get him one easy. If anyone knows of someone around AL or in AL that has a grade Beagle pup who would be willing to give one away please let me know and I will contact you for him. His uncle wants to give him one, but can't afford it so please if anyone can help let me know, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks Mike, we hope these youngsters will have the chance to see it through and enjoy the process as much as we have with these young dogs. Everyone should have the chance to get good blood and then see the pup develop to its potential. We like to take youngsters hunting and we spend time in schools introducing kids to dogs and the tradition of hunting along with sportsmanship and respect for others. What we invest in our youth now will pay us back by insuring that our sport will live on and on far into the future. We don't want our sport and hunting heritage in this country to fall by the wayside as the anti-hunters and anti-dog people would like to see happen.

Hope all is going well for you all and I hope all is going well with Pigeon and the pups.

Hats off and stand up. That is a very nice thing to have done, congrats to the kids who won those nice pups..make sure you let them know about your training methods. After reading your books I was really impressed and it made a lot of sense. Thanks again for sharing what you know and what you have strived for in your kenel.

I remember you and your dad. Rebel did a nice job that night. How did he do down in Iowa at the quarterfinals? I have a female out of Rat x Raven, a sister to Rabble Rouser that I'll be hunting this spring. She has a win towards Grand. Good luck this upcoming year and hope to hunt with you again.

Congratulations to the winners of the pups!!

I thanks that is great what you did. Thanks for helping our sport out. I can remember saving for years until I got enough money to buy my first pup by myself. I sure did mow a lot of yards and do all kinds of odd jobs but it was worth it. SO far he was the only Dog I have ever kept his entire life of fifteen years. I still miss that old dog. Good luck kids with the dogs, treat em right and they will love ya forever and do whatever you ask. God Bless all of you.
