lookin for someone using good matthes dogs

Hey Kat,
I think Jay Weering (sp?) still runs some matthes dogs. You probably know him. He lives down near your country. He used to have some real good Matthes dogs but I'm not sure what he's running now.

Yes, I hunt with Jay, and have a super young dog from him. I am just wondering who else out there is running them as well. I also hunt with Ed Eddleman who lives near me and kind of mentored, maybe got me addicted, me into cat hunting. Him and his brother Paul are running good Matthes dogs. Thanks for the reference though.

Hey Kat I noticed you lived in Lamar, is the gunsmithing school still there?
Thanks Pete

I've got three half Matthes, half Cameron dogs. They are ok, not as good in my opinion as the Kilby dogs I've had when it comes to cold trailing bad tracks. My Cameron female is as good at cold trailing, but in the autum of life.

One thing I'll say bout the Matthes male I had, He had more desire to catch than any dog I've ever had, just maybe a little hotter nose than I like.

R Severe. I have to ask. Bill, An old cowboy- saddlemaker friend of mine who has family in Logan lake BC used to work for Severe's and now works for Hamley. He had a buddy who wrote a few books out this way a Gang ranch cowboy and sheep guide named Kris kind who I have met and talked hunting with...I was just wondering if your last name is that same one??? The famous saddlemaker.

Yes, I know both Bill and Chris well. Chris still stays at the shop when he's here. Bills bench was just across the room from mine when he was learning. I've got a good mule Bill gave me, he wanted me to get her hooked to the hounds so he could go along

When I mentioned he may halfta use snowshoe's he bailed.

Bill would catch up and saddle a horse so he wouldn't have to walk to the shitter.

All my dogs are at least part mathes, the desire is one reason I like them, but I have hunted them around a few Cameron dogs and thought my mathes dogs were colder nosed, but they had a lot more experience cold trailing than the camerons I was around(their owner didn't particularly like to coldtrail)
