I hope everything works out and Ryan and Cadence get it done. It started when you got him qualified. At least the opportunity is there. I am glad we were all able to work it out.

I didn't qualify a hound because I knew football interfered with the zones. We will do what we can to help the team. We are pulling for you guys.

I think there are four Turk pups qualified. It sounds like they will all be there. It's in the blood.

I'm getting good reports on pups from both litters we had this year. Hutch did a good job with his part in these crosses. He and I believe in these pups. We are looking forward to the coming years. I have a video of a 7 week old Jazz x Frank Jr. Pup treeing a drag. I just dont know how to post it. One things for sure, It's in the blood.

Lance,

My name is Mike Walden. I actually met you at Bluetick Days. I think you and I have the same camper. If you are who I think you are you have a Roo. Anyway, I have bought a Boomer x Ruby hound that is a male. He is young but making a good hound. Next year I am going to be looking for a good Female pup to buy and get started. I am looking to the future for the dogs I want to be hunting. I have followed your line since I met you at Bluetick days and really like what I see. More importantly I like how you guys seem to handle yourselves at the hunts and with your line of dogs. I would like to call you and talk to you sometime about your hounds and maybe even stop in and see you and your hounds in October. I am the one that has the storage facility in Calera. Look forward to hearing from you. My number is 423-494-9057 if you have time to talk in the next few days.

That is a wonderful compliment for the whole team. I'll call you tomorrow and look forward to talking blues. I do remember us talking about the campers and storage units. That was a fun time. Lance

By the way, the Boomer x Ruby cross was a good one. I know you are excited about him.

Harry Pradon, Shaun Quinn, Randy Quinn, and I went hunting tonight. We hunted Cain, Sender, and RB. Cain and Sender are both Grandnitech and RB is a registered dog with a first and 4th in the hunts. We made 6 trees and found 9 coon. It was a good hunt in the south and just one of those nights that the coon cooperated. It is really fun to pleasure hunt with friends. Lance

I enjoyed our conversations and breeding discussions. I am glad we are on the same team.

I've talked and texted with so many people the last couple of days that there is no way I can remember all the names. I am terrible remembering names. I enjoy talking with Darrin Hollis. We both coach football and have quite a bit in common. His team is very successful and won the state championship last year. We also prefer a similar type hound. Pastor Lacey and I have had a few good conversations. It was nice to meet him and talk dogs. Clyde and I have texted a good bit. Thank's Clyde. You are a huge help. Congradulations on Brummy doing well at the slam at Autumn Oaks. I had a nice conversation with Kevin Weller. We have got to get together at the next big hunt and visit. We really wanted to make Autumn Oaks. Football season is our first priority. Good luck to Robbie Brooks and Hotwire in the hunt tonight. Have a safe trip everyone traveling to Richmond.

I am thrilled for you. We lost last night 26-20 in a nail biter. We have another very tough conference game this week. We won our first game 62-0 and we came out flat in this one. We were down by two touchdowns early in the first quarter. We didn't have them ready at the start like we thought. I am proud of the kids for fighting until the end.

some times our the toughest lessons are the most effective ones, they know now that nothing is give to you on the field, you have to fight for every inch, probably over confident coming off that first big blow out, kinda like these hunts, one week you can,t be beat, the next you can,t buy one lol, they did good to fight back in to it though, tells you something about their heart, Talk to them this week about reaching way down deep and finding what they don,t even yet realize is there, NEVER SAY DIE, NEVER QUIET......Gerald

Thanks Gerald and Darrin. I have a feeling the team will be ready for next week.

Those future pups out of Shelly are going quick. I'm happy Darrin is bringing one down here. I'm glad to see more blues coming to Alabama. We are on the right track for sure. Both litters we had this year sold quick. I still have people calling me for pups and dogs. There's seems to be no better advertisement than just hunting them. If people like them they will want one in the future. Take care. Lance

I to am glad Darren is bringing one that way, I think he is a hard hunter and will give the pup the time in the woods and a chance to make a dog.........Gerald

Lance,
picked up my pup (Frank Jr x Jazz) from Brian at AO, she sure is a looker. I believe she is from the Last litter sired by Frank Jr, as Ryan put him down last week. He was one heck of a COON DOG and threw some real nice pups.............Tim

I hated to hear that he passed. We were really pleased with the pup. We hope she makes a good on for you. I'm glad Hutch and Ryan got Jazz bred. There might not have been a second chance. Hopefully that blood will be around awhile.

Good luck to everyone in the world hunt. We are pulling for you all. Expecially: Go Team Mad Dog!

Check out the Cypress Creeks Black Furnace thread on the black and tan board. He is Shaun's dual grand and just added cch to his titles. I know it would mean allot to Shaun for some of you to post over there. The pic really shows him off and was taken last weekend. Thanks

Many of us know Shaun and thanks to those of you who looked at his post. Furnace means allot to many of us and he has helped many of these blues adjust to the south. He is a good measuring stick to see where a dog is at and needs to improve. Furnace has also done his share of winning including high scoring dog at the BBOA zone 6 championship a few years back. I am happy for them. Lance
