On this day I bring sad news.Nt. Ch. Gr.Ch. Bear Branch Blue Boy passed away today.This hound was no better than anyone else's hound, but he was special to me and my grandson Preston.He was ate up the last Sat in June at a event. He had been doing better,but then things turned worse. I have never hunted a dog in the purina race in the last five years of showing in them so in May at the Tenn. State I decided to jump in and run the english breed. From May till now he became a purina contender making nt. Ch. And two wins toward gr.nt. quailfed for the nationals .looking for a good weehend at Ind. State but all I can say now is Blue Boy thanks for everything and R.I. p. Your Handler

Sorry to hear of your loss Mike. You and Blue Boy sure made a splash in the English breed race and I was hoping you'd continue your winning ways through the end of the Purina Series.

RIP Blue Boy
