Ray,
I don't know if you remember us. We got a male pup from you 3 years ago
from Andy & Tiny's litter. His name is T. He is a wonderful dog. Last
September we got another pup from Andy & Molly's litter. Rocky is a
little more hyper than T but he too is so sweet. I wanted to send you an
updated picture of both of them. Rocky loves to swim in the pool and T
is just scared to death of it. Rocky is quite hysterical when he gets in
there....We thought you might enjoy these!!!! The first 2 are
Rocky in the swimming pool, the other 2 are of T. Take care, Brian
& Deidre, Granite City, IL

 Hey
Ray, I hope all is well. I picked a pup up 2 years ago and just wanted
to let you know he's doing great, by far the most well behaved and mild
mannered of the 3 dogs I have! He's the only one of the three I have
that I can leave off the leash and walk around the yard outside without
him running off.. he's super loyal and stays within eyeshot of me! I
don't do any hunting, have just raised him spoiled rotten. Thanks again,
Rob from SC.

  Well,
Emma was in her first UKC shows this past weekend! We haven't shown at
all since the International show and she's only 6 mths old now so we
were just hoping to get some practice in. Fortunately, practice is never
good enough for our little coonhound. She took Best Female, Breed and
Group in the first show Friday night (there were 5 over the 3 day
period). And came back to do the same thing in the first show Saturday
morning. In that show, she beat the 2 1/2 yr old male that ended up
beating her the rest of the weekend though she continued to take Best
female in the remaining shows. That male is awesome and actually belongs
to a friend of a friend of mine. His owner loves Emma and, when I showed
him her pedigree, is already trying to line up a breeding when she's old
enough. Apparently, they line back to a Smokey River dog. I attached a
picture of "Jed" - the male that beat my little girl and took Best In
Show of the 4th show. Anyway, all three judges that placed Jed over Emma
said that she was a beautiful puppy and that , if she were older, they
would have placed her over Jed. They couldn't say enough nice things
about her from typiness to personality. One judge even said that Emma
will be unbeatable in a few months. She's only one win away from her UKC
champion title!
We also took her two weeks ago to a local coonhound club event just to
watch and the people there were very impressed by my little puppy.
Everyone wants to know where I got her! You need to start jacking up
your prices! Except for me, that is. We've started her on coons - she
loves it! She has a BIG bawl! People always laugh to hear that come out
of a puppy. We're going to start swimming her next month - I love the
water races.
I hope that all is well with you. Take care and we'll keep you up to
date! I don't Facebook, but if YOU do, my friends have all kinds of
stuff posted about Emma. Have a great week!
Donna.
p.s. The pic of Em in the chair - her handler was sitting there and Em
kept standing on her until she moved. Em climbed up in front of her
ribbons and went to sleep. |

 Hi
Ray!
Sorry that I haven't gotten back to you sooner. With the break in the
weather, we've been unbelievably busy trying to get things done around
the farm here. I'm very sorry to hear that things have been difficult
for you. I hope things have gotten better since your last email.
Maybe this news will cheer you up a bit. Today was Em's first show.
There were actually two IABCA shows yesterday and two today. I had to
pull her from yesterday's shows because of a funeral that we had to
attend. TOO BAD! because she probably would be walking around this
evening with her International title already. The judges loved her and
wondered why she wasn't shown yesterday. She took breed and group in
both shows today. AND she took Best in Show Puppy for the first show
today! Pretty darn good for a 5 month old on her first show day! We're
so proud of her!
She has her first UKC shows at the end of April. It's a cluster of I
think 5 shows over 3 days? Something like that. I've
attached a pic of her! Look for her name out there "Sumit's Country
Fancy One"!
Take care! Donna |

 Ray,
Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I just wanted to thank you again
for the great puppy you sold us a few months ago. 'Singer' is turning
into the perfect dog and we are getting so much enjoyment out of him. We
bought him as a surprise for my mom's birthday since we lost our
coonhound last year and we couldn't have gotten a better dog. My parents
love him so much and he is absolutely the picture of a coonhound in
personality. He constantly makes us all laugh. We have all had so much
fun seeing him come into his own. You truly breed quality dogs. Even
though we don't intend to hunt him he shows great instincts. He never
goes anywhere his nose isn't getting to first. I did some deer hunting
over Thanksgiving and he got so excited to see 'the kill;" it was neat
to watch. Anyway, I hope ya'll have a very Merry Christmas. Just wanted
to thank you again. We'll be looking for another bluetick in the future
and will definitely come to you to get him.

 Good
morning. Paul and I wanted to thank you again for selling us Domenick.
He is a great dog. We took him hunting Monday night and last night. He
did his thing and treed within the first half hour both nights. Last
nights we let the puppies run free with him and they stayed right with
him until they got to the tree. Thank you so much. We appreciate the
quality dogs you breed. It's amazing how much better a hunt is when you
have the right tools. Thanks. Carlie and Paul from Virginia |

Ray:
Thought, I would send you a picture of "Dixie" she is now 18 months old.
She loves to chase the rabbits, coons and skunks. Dixie is also a people
dog. She loves kids and has become a dam good watch dog too boot. Ray,
she sure is a lot of company for me now that I am getting older. She
walks at least two miles a day and is as lean as she can be at 90
pounds. My son takes her out and they play with a Frisbee till she wears
him out. Hope, things are going well for you and your family in these
tuff times we are now in. It does not look good for this country and I
am afraid this is just the tip of the iceberg. I hope you all happy a
nice 4th of July. Respectfully, Gaten |

  Ray,
Here are 2 pictures of "Blue". One is at an AKC show, the other was at
an UKC. Let me know how you like him.
Thanks, Dee |

  Mr.
Ray - - here are some pics of the pups from today!! They are
absolutely the BEST dogs!! What other dog under a year of age would let
a 5 year old ride them like a horse!!! If someone who hunts got a hold
of Belle - they would be rejoicing - she is such a natural it's
unbelievable. We know when something is here that is not supposed to be.
She's amazing.
 We
have no plans to hunt them - but I can only imagine what she could do!
We have the best time watching her stalk Hunter. He doesn't stand a
chance!! And - isn't he a monster!!! He's barely 7-8 months and
already 60-70# I am sure!! He looks exactly like Jasper - except I am
partial enough to say I think he's prettier!! He is Brett's buddy! He
LOVES to play soccer - but - boy - if he gets out of hand - Belle is
there to correct him in a minute!! He could take her easily - but
she is definitely the dominant one! The next time you update your
website - please put them on!! If all of your dogs are like these - they
must be awesome!! Thanks again and take care!! |

   Ray,
Just wanted to let you know the pups are doing fine (Brandy & Amber).
Here are a few pics taken today.
Thanks Stephen |

 Hi
Ray!
I wanted to send you a picture of Hank, he is 11 months old now. During
Thanksgiving he was hit by a truck and broke his pelvis and hip bone. He
went through surgery and rehab but he is doing great now!! He still
loves to go out to our land and run with the horses and even chased an
Armadillo but I made him stop (they carry yellow fever). We want another
bluetick in the near future! They are such awesome dogs!!! |

 hi,
Ray. I'm sure you remember me? Jason from cold Michigan. Remember when
you, me, and matt went hunting? Well hear are some pictures of Whiskey
at 5 yrs old. He rigged this one while in side his dog box. Dirt and
acorns were flying when he hit the ground. He walks on water, crosses
rivers and climbs trees. You're web site has come a long way looks
really good. I'll be looking for a female soon and you're hounds are
looking good as always. I know you are very busy but I sure would like
to hear from you. Jason from Michigan |

   Hi
Ray!
It’s Breck from Louisiana. I purchased a gyp off of Cindy Lou back in
June. I am writing to tell you that she is an excellent dog. Scout has
fit in since day one! She is growing like a weed. She going on 9 months
old and weighs around 60 pounds. She hunts everything in sight along
with my first bluetick Dixie. I just wanted to give an update, send some
pictures and thank you again for making a long distance purchase and
easy one. I will defiantly be doing business with you again!

 Hi
Ray,
Just wanted to let you know that Ranger is doing fantastic and in good
hands. I spent the first 10 days with him at my little cabin in Nettie
and brought him here to our farm in Hillsboro this weekend. We have
sunshine and 50+ degrees today and I am teaching him to lead and he is
doing very well...I thought you might enjoy this picture of Isaac &
Ranger taken last week while I was in Nettie...Dad lives in Nettie and
while I was there I took Ranger to visit him almost every day. Dad said
you have done very well with your pups. The grandkids have taken him
hunting several times already and he is certainly helping us get through
this very long winter. Thanks for making it possible to find my
dad a Hammer line Bluetick pup. It has stirred his memory and touched
many hearts... Sharon |

 Hey
Ray!
It's Russell. I haven't talked to you in a good long time, but I thought
I would give you a shout to let you know how my boy Clyde is doing. He
is now 6 months old and is doing absolutely great. Whenever we're out
and about he always wants to come with me. I've almost had him follow me
to class! He is so smart and has learned so many things it's scary! As
soon as his potty training period was pretty much over, he has not given
me one problem at all! His personality is one of a kind and I couldn't
ask for any better of a dog! When I brought him home, dad was a little
upset, but since then
 he's
grown to like him to the point that I feel like he would steal him from
me if he got the chance hehe. We just finished up Christmas here at home
and we were able to catch him resting on his new bed. I left some
pictures for you just to let you see how he is doing. He sure misses
ya'll and i know if he got the chance he would love to come back and
visit. Hope all is well up there in Blackstock and I hope your upcoming
year is filled with joy and prosperity. Take care, Ray!

is Beau and he's about 5 1/2 months old and got quite a mouth. One of
the pictures is him treeing a scent. Thanks again for everything and
with all
the help for getting him to me. It was such an easy process and I would
def. recommend it to anyone, I would even do it again. Thanks again and
have a Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas.

 Hi
Ray!
Well our pups are now 1 year 2 months and four months and boy are they
happy pooches. They run and play together. They are the perfect puppies.
We were just curious, do you know what cut Topper's ear when she was a
tiny pup? Bo and I love them so much. They are DEFINITELY sisters. They
are two peas in a pod. Here are some fun pictures of them running and
playing in the sprinkler. We had to buy a metal sprinkler chain it to a
full sized cinder block and drive a four foot rebar into the ground to
keep them from carrying it off. (We went through a lot of sprinklers
before we figure that out.) Enjoy the pics. Love to you and your
family, Diana and Bo |

 I
wanted to send you a recent picture of Bubba. He was Dixie and Sammy's
pup born Dec 2004. He is a terrific dog, smart and just a pleasure. He
is also a beauty - here he is is 90lbs and as you can see almost a
little below weight. He is an avid tracker in the woods and once on the
hunt is non-stop. We have had a few punctured paws, stitches and one
nasty snake bite, but all in a days work. I saw on the website that you
recently sold Sammy - he must be a great dog. Thanks so much and I will
be in touch in the future. Beth Lynch from Maryland |

bobcats and 1 cougar. Whole the time he stayed with blackberry. He did
really working on hunting dog. Elmo is one my favorite dog to watch. 1
guide outfitter hunter kept say will u trade Elmo for his 5 dogs. I say
nah... I will keep him for good. 2 other houndmen buddy said Elmo smoked
on cat track really hard and stayed on same path up between 2 to 4 miles
chase. I swear. It took me 3 hrs to catch them. Last chase was hardest
chase ever since we got him. This pic was last saturday we cut a bob and
put blackberry and 2nd Elmo together alone to see how it go. Usually we
put milk with but I want see if Elmo can run thur 4 ft snow but they can
run only 18" and upper diffuclt terrian. Bob flew off from tree twice
before 3rd to keep up. Elmo learned a lot. We listen to Elmo barking
every step he run. It helps us know where it lead to. We love Elmo a
lot...I wil email 2 good ones this week. One Elmo treed on half dry and
now and treed a bob which is good news. Alright enjoy this pic and will

Elmo rear 7 mo old on 5th bob. I thank u for a great breed dog. My wife
