Ray,  its been almost 2 years (well, 22 months anyways), and I have to tell you this; Jack (AKA Hector) is the best danged dog I have ever had; he has turned out to be my favorite and best hunting companion. As he has matured, he has only improved. His stamina is exceptional; his attention to the trail is excellent; his enthusiasm is unmatched.  He is 80 lbs of sheer terror for his quarry.  His list of kills on my farm is amazing, including 3 coyotes (one weighed 58 lbs.) a cotton mouth, several rattle snakes over 4 ft, a coral snake, as well as countless raccoons and opossums. He has killed 8 skunks without getting sprayed once.  Of note, he killed a Javelina recently and brought it home; he has wiped out a family of armadillos that were wreaking havoc in my pasture too.  I am afraid to take him on a bear or puma hunt though because he really is a wild man, and I think he would go in for the kill, and get mauled. When he is "on" he is like Frankenstein in fast motion; its like someone threw a switch and his whole being changes.  I gotta tell you, he is the best money I could have spent.  My wife has come to love him as well, but Jack stills prefers to be outside at night, roaming and hunting, to being inside in spite of her efforts to turn him into a foo foo dog, she has failed miserably.  We almost lost him to a rattlesnake this summer; he came home one morning with a face like a hippopotamus; the fang marks below his nose were about 1 & 1/4 inch apart. I got him to the vet (he had previously been vaccinated against rattlesnakes) and it only took one vial on anti-venin to get him right; a week later and he was back at it, and my wife didn't complain of the expense, "after all, its for Hector" was her only comment.  With best regards,  Dave

Ray,
as promised, some pictures of Jack...Jack, whom we call Hector now, is on the left in the first picture... Scooby is the German Short Haired Pointer.   Hector outweighs Scooby by about 20 lbs... Scooby is a fairly tolerable bird dog, but pretty useless at anything else. Hector is far better at everything except birds.  Photo To the Right, they are having a tug-o-war over a blanket. Note Hector's lower stance and better bite on the blanket.

Photo to the right, Hector is about to grab Scooby's entire head into his mouth, and force him into submission; he then releases Scooby, with no bite marks. Kind of scary to watch, but once you've seen it enough times, you realize Hector really is in control. But, you can still make out the wild man in him.

This is rebel the pictures are kinda bad cause he was hyper.

Ray,  I haven't hunted him in any hunts YET!!! I bought a NtCh. walker male 2 yrs. old and he smoked him the other night. They treed side by side blowing the top out but he beat him on strike and tree. And that little walker is fast. Has been doing an outstanding job. I don't usually pay that much for a hound not titled, but I have to say he is WELL worth it.  Preston from SC

hey ray,

I bought some pups from you last spring. my name is dean I came down from good old jersey to pick up a male, I was with my girlfriend and she talked me into getting a female to keep him company. the sire of the litter was john's old blue rebel and the dam was hunters little lady. I know you deal with alot of people but you probably remember me. I mean how many people come from jersey to buy your pups? I would say not many. Im probably the only one who came down from our home state to get one of your blueticks. Bonnie n clyde are now a year and two months and theyre great! Theyre very independant and hard headed so it was an effort for me to train them without takin them to obedience school and with no shock collars or any equipment. Ive got them runnin drag's now and I just set up a live trap so I can get a coon in a roll cage n see what they do. they naturaly want to get out there and hunt but I want to make sure theyre ready when I take them out to the forrest to go on a real hunt. I guy I work with has redbones and we are going down to cecil county, maryland where he hunts his dogs to give them some time in the woods huntin n workin together with the other dogs in the hunt. I just wanted to send you an email to thank you for the two great pups you sold me. I will keep you updated on how theyre doin in the woods. Well see how they make out. My last dog I got from you also, charlotte, who unfortunately ran a deer out on a main road in jersey and got killed. She was the best dog I ever owned. She was out of Sammy and Saphirre's lady. I had that dog house broken two weeks after I brought her home and I had her running two mile drag's at 3 months. She had so much potential and was so sweet. I think about her everyday. Anyway let me stop ramblin about the dogs, ill attach a photo of bonnie n clyde so you can see how theyre growin up. thank you for pups your a great asset to the future of the bluetick in this country
sincerely,
dean

Hi Ray,  This is Amanda from NY. I came all the way down to you to get my dog Jake who is a great dog. He is the king of the household, the most fun, lovable dog we have had.  He loves to be around people every chance he gets, and boy does he have a loud voice! He is very playful, and extremely smart. He gets along great with our other dog, which makes it nice too. I thought you would like to see how he has grown. I got him in April at 4 weeks old from you. He was actually from your son's dogs litter, because I desperately wanted a male!!!  This is Jake!!!  Amanda from NY

Hey Ray,
We got Fancy from you back in January, out of Blue Rebel and Hunter's Little Lady. She is everything that we could ask for in a dog, We get so many complements on how great she is. She is a great hiking and camping companion, her favorite thing to do is run beside the horse's when we go on trail rides through the mountains. We can't wait to get another pup soon. We will send more pictures.. this is Fancy at 8 months. Ryan from Arizona

Hey Ray,  I got Rhett from you back in December just before Christmas. He is such an awesome dog and is up for anything. I’m so happy to have him, and wanted to send you a few pictures. I’m not a hunter, but Rhett sure lets us know when there are squirrels in the back yard that need to get back up their trees. Out in the field and in the water he’s right on my boyfriend’s German Shorthair’s heels…an amazing combination of a lazy snuggler in the house and an athlete outside. Hope all is well with you, your family and dogs. Thanks Again, Maggie

Rock at 4 months old, he is a real chick magnet, ha ha, everyone just falls in Love with him, mostly his long ears, man does he have a voice!! and does he know how to use it, he's everything you said he would be, Thanks again for picking him for me, he's my Bud!! Randy.

Hey Ray - This is Jessica - I purchased Waylon from you back in December of last year - He is such a wonderful dog, just beautiful - I just wanted to take a minute and send you a few recent pictures of him - he was so curious about the turkeys, it was adorable to watch him bounce around and sniff them - thank you again for such a wonderful pup, I can't wait to buy another friend for him - Happy Easter - Jessica, South Carolina

Hi Ray!  She has come alive:) She is what some call "full of piss and vinegar". Others would call it a healthy puppy. She goes in at 9:00 to have her first visit with our vet. We will go over the shots and the schedule for the rest of the shots. Here in Texas, we have to put the dogs on heartworm, so as soon as she is old enough, that will start as well.  I don't know if Buddy told you anything about our story...but after losing 2 of our dogs to cancer within one month of each other, we had the priviledge to adopt a rescued Bluetick Coonhound. The vet said that he(Bleu) was about 2 years old when we got him which was in April of last year. He had tested positive with heartworm, so we went through all of that treatment to get him healthy. He is such a wonderful dog. We have enjoyed him SO much.
That is one of the reasons we were looking for Lilly, because we wanted him to have a playmate. I just didn't realize how spoiled he was. We created a monster. He was very upset when we brought her in the first night. He wouldn't even come to the bed. We almost had to pick him up off the couch to bring him to bed. He is starting to warm up to her. I guess the oldler she gets the more he will enjoy her.  She is doing great. We wanted to know if we needed to send you extra money for training her in advance:) Hee Hee! She is just doing great with potty training and no longer is she sleeping in the kennel. She sleeps with us and snuggles all night long.  Anyway, I won't keep sending emails this often. I just wanted you to know that she has a great home. Thank you so much for making our lives happier:)  LeAnn from Texas
