Hello!
I don't know if you will remember me or not, but my dad and I purchased a little female from you at Orangeburg a couple of weeks ago. When we met you said to feel free to ask any questions, so I thought I would take you up on that. I also wanted to give you a little update on her.
We have decided to name her Kilroy's Racket Maker, Kilroy's after my grandfather who passed a few years ago and Racket Maker because, well, that's about all she does at this point. This is one loud little girl, and persistent. Unfortunately Athens seems to be in a parvo epidemic, and last week she was diagnosed with parvo. My vet alone as seen 6 positive parvo cases, with about half of them being older, vaccinated pups this week alone. No worries, she is fine now and as loud as ever. We aren't going to let this setback get in our way.
My dad is wanting me to bench show her before he starts hunting her. I have no idea what I'm doing and am trying to get information on bench showing. I'm really out of the loop when it comes to coon hounds and bench shows but I would like to give it a shot if she is show quality. I was wondering if you have any advice on how to get started in bench shows. I don't even know where to begin to look for information, how to start preparing her for the shows, or even how to enter. I'm located in northeast GA (Athens) and my dad is in South GA.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and Racket and I will be anxiously awaiting your reply.
Yes i do remember, First i am so sorry that she was diagnosed with this as you will remember we made you an everyone else wash there hands with germ-x before they was allowed to pet our pups, We take all preventive mesures that we can an sometimes that still is not enough but glad she has made it. I know very little when it comes to the bench shows, But what i do know is, Good feed, Keep her nails trimmed, an spend lots of time with her an learn togethere. I will post this on the Bean post an im sure someone on there will be glad to help, Good luck with PR,Kilroy's Racket Maker an welcome to the Bean Team...
