David,Buddy and the rest, thanks for the kind words. Chasing bobcats is definitely my passion. I consider my self blessed to have hunted over the dogs we have had. Especially Old Sadie the black walker dog on the far right in the video. She is definitely a one of a kind. Growing up chasing cats with my dad we have always been fortunate to have at least one dog that could get the job done but Sadie always some how takes the cake. Unfortunately she is 13 and slowing down but still able to get the job done. Disappointingly we were never able to get a litter of pups out of her. Although all my dogs do have some of the same blood and can get the job done.

In the video the white walker dog was a litter mate to Sadie, not a real cold nosed dog but a fast track dog. Their was actually five dogs there. The two black pups in the middle are out of our old male Todd, Sadie's sire and my buddy's walker. The male pup was going to be our next jump dog but the wolves got him later that season. Still have the female and another litter mate, both fine dogs. The bluetick was our Buddy's dog. It was deffinetly training day that day. It was a great race and the conditions were perfect. Like you said its usually a two dog deal when you want to put fur on the ground.

Here is a pic from that day. My dad and brother on the left and our friends

What a powerful photo. I literally got chills down my spine looking at those dogs and those men and knowing What it takes to consistently stop a Minnesota cat on the ground. It takes unusually fine men, and unusually fine dogs. I had my eye on that Sadie. I know she has made a lot of good days for you and given some fine young dogs the opportunities they needed.

I think the dog I kept calling "blue dog" holding his ground up front left was not blue at all but a black walker. The shadows and glare was giving a blue look to it.

David, these boys for sure have dogs that can and do get it done, not sure how many 3 or more caught cat days they have had but I know it is more then a few.

David you were right the first time. The dog on the far left was my buddy's bluetick.
