Lefty ended up in TN, I believe; we've lost touch. I was raising her for someone else, anyway. The two males from that litter were less than worthless on both raccoon and black bear. They were re-homed to be family pets.
Beau tells me he's not too impressed with my little 'Blackfoot.' She'll tree if the bear is already UP the tree, but if it's on the ground, she runs back to Pa, LOL! She also lost her expensive tracking collar in 10 foot of water this week, so she's really not scoring any points, though Beau has PROMISED me that he WILL bring her back home to me. He'd better!
Got attached to Blackfoot as she came right out of the chute and I had to feed her every two hours 24/7 while Mama Taylor was having a C-section to get the rest of the puppies delivered. You kinda get close under those circumstances. ;)
I need to decide if she's gonna be 'my' dog. If she's any good on a Show Bench, she may get another lease on life. Girlfriend Hallie is currently winning ALL THE RIBBONS for her bench dog, Patsy. She's an English Hound - very pretty, though not as pretty as my Blackfoot! ;) Hallie has been bugging me to get into Bench Shows with her.
Oh, gawd! Yet ANOTHER project, LOL!
'Blackfoot' at about 10 weeks:
