"A Great Time at Autumn Oaks"
It was hard to believe the amount of people that rolled through Richard and I's booth this weekend. Richard, Pastor Mike and I defiantly kept busy this weekend talking to a lot of people. It was pretty much a constant flow of adults and children wanting to see or talk about Redbones. We sold several puppies (actually more than what I expected) there this weekend. I had to leave early on Saturday and I think we could have sold a few more if I would have stayed a few more hours. Thanks to all the people that purchased pups.
To me it wasn't about selling pups, but to build relationships with several people I would have never been in contact with. I had several people walk up and tell me there "Redbone Story", about how redbones may have been there first hound, how they have never owned one but always wanted to, or how they have raised them all of there lives. I loved to just listen to the stories people wanted to share. It was really cool to see people look at and study the pedigree's of some of these pups we had listed to sell and tell me how they hunted with or use to own something that had TTop, Fireball, Moonlight, Outlaw, Hoffmiester, Ragged Ridge and so on in this dog or that dog. I guess I'm trying to say is I truly believe that there is some kind of a revolution going on and I think the future is bright if we can stay on track on what a lot of us are trying to promote and do in this breed.
I didn't really get a chance to walk around Autumn Oaks, but had several people tell me that we were one of the only ones there trying to reach out and promote are breed person to person. I looked up and down the strip of road we were on and saw several English Breeders, Walker Breeders, Black and Tans breeders and yes even a couple of Cur dog guys. All I do know is that we had one of busiest booths on the strip we were on. So whatever we are doing as a breed to get some of this attention, I guess we should just keep doing it.
I didn't hunt this weekend, but did go with and Richard and Boone on there hunt Saturday Night. Boone come up short but had two splits that night one we found a coon and another we didn't. I wish we could have found both cause it would have been a good cast win for Boone and Richard. I just love seeing the old dog work including Boone  . He's not quite as fast as he use to be when he was hunted up good but can still get it done when he has to. It was neat to hear the other dogs running a track and then all of a sudden in another part of the woods you hear those big ol locates then a steady chop off in the distance. I leaned to over to Richard and said "there's a layup and he's gonna have that one" sure enough we walked over and found ol Ricky sprawled out high on limp taking a nap. The coon never even opened his eyes and looked. Oh well it was still fun. The cast was great to be with. I had a great time being the taxi driver for Mike Laster and Richard.
