Hi Matt
The hounds are doing well and I am having a good time with them. Roxy has been out twice, first hunt was last saturday and she was not sure what to do around my other hounds. I expected that. She is a beautiful hound, we really like her. Sundays hunt was good, she went from the start with my start dog and ran that coyote from 9 am until 4 3o. Roxy was there at everyroad crossing. I ran her and the start dog by themselves for Roxy. I didn;t want to have a trampled scent running behind the other dogs. I figured I would let her learn as much as possible on her own. Anyway, I never did get that coyote, the dogs were too far behind for me to get into a good position. Roxy did a good job for her first hunt. I was very pleased. The little guy, we name him black jack. He also went exploring with us at the snow hill. I took the kids sledding in a remote area and let him and another dog run loose. The snow is sorta deep for him right now, he was all over that hill exploring, and even exploring on his own. He seemed sort of independant, which I like in a cold trailer.
So far so, good. Roxy has a good voice, she did not open as much as the other dog, and will come in time. The other dog is more expereinced. By the way, the walker guys are already on me about the blueticks, this is heavy duty walker country. I had a good time, showing them both dogs. Have a good day and talk to you soon.
