UPDATE!
Since my last post, Yogi has qualified for the PKC and CHKC World Hunts being handled by my seventeen year old son. Allen has been getting Yogi ready for three UKC youth hunts coming up this month. His plan was to hunt Yogi in the UKC YEP hunt at Ralston, Oklahoma last night followed by hunting in the Treeing Walker Breeders & Fanciers Association Youth Championship at Ada, Oklahoma and then the UKC Oklahoma State Youth Championship at Stigler, Oklahoma the end of this month.
Unfortunately, Allen tore his medial collateral ligament (MCL) in his right knee at his high school spring football scrimmage on Friday night. He is going to have an MRI done on his knee tomorrow morning, but the preliminary report isn't too encouraging and it looks like he will be out for the remainder of the summer.
I was really wanting Allen to finish Yogi to Grand Nite to give him a sense of accomplishment and I have not handled Yogi in the hunts because of that reason. Allen told me Saturday afternoon that he wanted me to go ahead and take Yogi to some UKC events to get his last win being that Allen is now out of commission for a while, so with that I plan to finish Yogi to UKC Dual Grand very soon.
I have had a few people wanting to breed to Yogi, but they want him finished to Grand Nite and I understand that completely. Not very many studs are sporting an all grand pedigree as deep as Yogi, but he needs to be grand nite too so the pedigree is complete.
I have also had some reports from different people stating a few hunters out there have been running their mouth stating that Yogi runs junk and that was the reason why he wasn't finished yet. That is NOT TRUE! When I first got him to Oklahoma, he chased a few armadillos mainly because he had never seen one, but I broke Yogi off of them pretty quickly and he hasn't ran nothing but a coon in over a year now.
Like I have said in the past, any hunter interested in breeding to Yogi is more than welcome to come for a hunt. I actually encourage anyone that has an interest, to go hunt with the dog before you decide to make a particular cross. There's too much time spent in training a pup not to put the extra effort out there to thoroughly evaluate a potential stud. Anyone with an interest is more than welcome at my place at any time.
In closing, I am undecided about making English Days in Bluffton, Indiana next weekend. My initial plan was to be there, but Allen's injury has put a big question mark on that. I should know more tomorrow when he gets the MRI and what options we have with his knee (surgery or not). If you don't mind, it would be nice if anyone reading this could say a prayer on Allen's behalf.
Thanks in advance.
