************************************************************************************************************************************** Savannah (Holly x Bingo October 2007) The Thompson family sent in a few pictures taken on the back deck. The first shows Savannah posing for the camera in true Redbone style. The second is of Savannah chewing her heart out. I am told that she will soon begin training at a local pond where she hopes to sharpen her swimming skills.
************************************************************************************************************************************** Bella (Weed x Holly - July 2006) The Barnard family has sent in a few more pictures of the most spoiled coonhound in the world and her friend Checkers, the Yorkshire Terrier. I am told they are a perfect combo but make no mistake, Checkers runs the place! ************************************************************************************************************************************** Fred (Bingo x Holly October 2007)
************************************************************************************************************************************** Savannah (Bingo x Holly October 2007)
Savannah's mom called to share her experiences while attending a local coonhound event in Rockingham, North Carolina. Savannah was able to walk around the grounds and meet several other breeds of hounds including Black & Tan, English and Treeing Walkers. Although too young to compete yet, they were able to watch the water race, treeing contest and bench show. The Thompson family plans to go back to family day at the club in Rockingham to try their luck at several events. Family day gives folks the opportunity to learn more about the different events held at the club as well as try them out without the pressure of competition. This is a great way to get a little practice before going all out into the world of competition coonhound events. Best of luck to Savannah and team Thompson.

Bella (Weed x Holly - July 2006) is shown here in a picture that the Barnard family shared with us in November of 2006. She is apparently learning to co-exist with her feline friends. In a December 2007 update, I was told that Bella enjoys frequent romps around town and although she is a city girl, she and playmate Checkers had a run in with some local raccoons. According to our sources, Bella was not sure what to do with the raccoons. Bella and checkers were nose to nose with the bandits. The coons quickly scurried around Bella and ran up a set of stairs. Bella wasn't exactly sure what to do but Checkers was all over them! I've never heard of Yorkshire Terriers being used as trainers for young Coonhounds but maybe they are on to something!

The
Barnard family sent in a photo of Bella's latest adventure...chickens. "We have
had them a week now and she is
The
Batts family writes that Pluto has won his class in his first ever bench show
competition. He sure is a good looking young hound that will no doubt
continue his winning ways. Congratulations to Pluto and Team Batts on
their win.
The
Keith family has been enjoying some beautiful weather in East Texas which has
given Fred the opportunity to enjoy the dog park and walks in the neighborhood.
Fred has been accompanying his family on their fishing adventures and is seen on
the left getting his feet wet in the pond. Fred also took the time to
strike a pose by the fence. He sure is a handsome fellow.
Spirit
(Weed x Holly - July 2006) is seen here treeing during the Winona Coonhunter's
Invitational Hunt in Winona, Mississippi. Also seen in the picture is one
of the resident studs from All Night Kennels located in Kentucky. She is
an impressive young hound that will likely find her way into the competition
world in the next few months. I'll keep you posted on her progress.
Best of luck to Chuck Copeland on this youngster. Judging from the night I
spent following her through the woods, I believe he has a winner on his hands. 
Ramona
(Sneak x Ivey July 2007) enjoys spending time with her best friend Dexter the
Beagle. The Taylor family describes Ramona as a wonderful hound that
doesn't let Dexter rest for a minute. She always wants to wrestle with her
pal. Ramona loves the beach but is scared of the waves. Dexter is
actually teaching her to tree squirrels, which is pretty funny. She has a
lot of energy but then wears herself out and falls asleep. She has a million
toys and she LOVES to play fetch. She has made friends with the neighbor's
dogs too. She can definitely be headstrong, especially demanding to be the
center of attention but she makes up for it in how lovable and cuddly she is,
Ramona just wants to cuddle all the time! 
Savannah
(Bingo x Holly October 2007) looks to be resting after a serious romp this past
December. The Thompson family shared with me that this gorgeous little
girl gets complements everywhere they go. She is enjoying frequent walks
in the park and has begun some early training for a possible career as a show
girl.
I
think that these pictures of Fred (Bingo x Holly October 2007) represent before
and after images of a day filled with lots of playtime. The Keith family
shared with us that Fred likes to take long walks in the pastures and keeps his
nose to the ground at all times. 
Spirit
(Weed x Holly - July 2006) is shown here treeing her own raccoon at ten months
of age. The Copelands are very proud of this youngster and it appears that
she has proven herself to be an early starter. This family has also added
Ruff (Bingo x Holly October 2007) to their pack. Some of you may have seen
Ruff in other places. He was on our website helping us wish everyone a
Merry Christmas. He sure is a looker.
Ruby
(Weed x Holly - July 2006) is a Redskins fan as you may be able to see from the
picture of her in front of the Christmas tree. I was told that she was a
good girl this year and that she makes a great companion for the many adventures
that the Colvin family tackles each year. The Colvins send in the most
incredible pictures and I wanted to share one of my absolute favorites with you.
Ruby running in the surf was sent in around February 2007 and shows us that this
girl enjoys a jog on the beach.
