Thanks for the replies guy's. My daughter turned 4 in november, since then she has been stuck to my side. She love's those dogs, and has convinced herself those are all her dogs and I am just the trainer. She make's a convincing argument. She gets alot of dad time, with her 2 brothers in school.
Thomas, bess is the female you took to when you were here. She is a cousin to my males and 1 month older. She has a great bark and pulls her weight on track, but still shy at the tree. Sunny and Sam are well rounded for young dogs and getting the job done, the tom in the second and 3rd pic, took off like a shot bayed and fought all the way to the tree crossing about a half dozen fence line's before they forced him up. Then it took me more than an hour to get there, they held the tree the entire time like veterans . These 3 are the only dogs I have now except old talker(retired) and a couple 5 month old pups. I sold my lead dog. And committed to just these 3 about 3 weeks ago. So far they are up to it. Being young dogs most tracks we start are hotter tracks and their striking game needs improvement but really not much to complain about for 21-22 month old dogs. It's hard not to really brag these dogs up, you all know how much work has went into them already. Some day's I feel like I am training kids and dogs which is great. I am a lucky man. Thank you. John.
Another pic of my youngest son and my daughter. Old Talker had just turned 15, I let him off the chain to stretch his legs and go beller around. An hour later I could hear him tree'd, upon inspection he had put a cat up not 300 yards from my folks house. You never know when a camera will be needed. John.
