May 2015

Been very busy lately with work, family and everything else that comes with it.  Lola's pups are here, (see Upcoming litters page).  Planning on another litter (or 2) for fall.  If you haven't heard from me, or if I haven't heard from you for a while, please shoot an email to keep in touch.

John finished up his first college semester and Blair is winding up his senior year of high school. Blair starts his final summer rifle league tonight, he has enlisted in the Marine Corps and his ship date is December 7.  John is getting ready to start his final year of American Legion Baseball but he will get a late start as his 2 week National Guard duties fall in the end of May.

Freddie had a run in with a porcupine last week.  Blair and I pulled 13 quills from his mouth and lips.  We went back to the spot of the porky to extract a little revenge but we could not find him.  Unfortunately I think I will run into him again.

Had a nice talk with Stanley H. last night.  He is very pleased with his pups from last year and said he would like another soon.  He has been running hounds for a long time and waited about 2 years for his pair of pups from me.  He sent me some pictures of them and they have matured very nicely.  I will scan the pictures and post them at a later date.

I have much to write about regarding the happenings in the "patch world" but I will hold off for now.  I am seeing guys pumping out pups from hounds that should not be bred and definitely should not be advertised as patch. Remember if you want a TRUE PATCH HOUND, you can only get one from THE PATCH KENNEL. We stick to the same standards established by Willet.  I believe that there are some good hounds out there but also many poor.  The internet forums are a blessing and a curse.
