These are quotes and pictures from our pup owners. Read what they have to say about our Finley River Bred Lone Pine Pups!
This is Zoey, a beautiful Lone Pine Finley River bred pup purchased by William Brooks of Savannah GA. This pretty gal is a 7/08 cross of Lone Pine Cowboy's Jodie x Sharp Tooth's Goliath (Cujo). An extremely quick learner she is accurately tracking and treeing with a little over a month's training. When William got her in Mid February she had not been worked with much at all. William calls us constantly with praises of her abilities and her newest accomplishments. I think you will hear and see much more of this pretty gal in the future. This picture was sent with several other wonderful pics on March 31 William stated that "She located it all on her own..". Great job William and Zoey! |
This little girl is Bull's Lone Pine Jackie. This little pup is out of this years Lone Pine Francis x GRCH GRNITECH Bull's Lone Pine Thunderbolt. We have been getting updates on her progress on a regular basis. Jackie, only about 3 months old here, is really letting this coon hide have it after running two 200 ft drags and treed this hard both times.!

Terry Bartles "Bear" is a Francis x Cujo pup from our November 08 litter. We just got a call the other night from Terry who just is so impressed with this young pup. He told Steve that he was absolutely amazed at how fast this pup is taking off, more so than many of the dogs he has trained and raised, He is so impressed with his tracking and treeing abilities and his passion to hunt. He has never seen a pup this young tree this hard. Now I am possibly not expressing everything correctly but have been assured by Steve that Terry will be writing up his Testimonial on this young pup and will be sending it with many more pictures of him in the woods and treeing. We look forward to sharing this information on this fine young hound. |
This is last year's Sharp Tooth's Poison's Chyna x Sharp tooth Kennels Samson cross. Jerry Zyjewski from Western Ohio purchased to littermate sisters. This pic is of Storm and Shy treeing when just young pups. Here is what he has to say about these pup. Storm (the black headed one) is very good about staying with the older dogs. She is finally calmed down and starting to pay attention in the woods as to whats going on. She loves it when she gets a taste of coon. She opens with a bawl on track and chop on tree but unlike her sister she seems to think she can climb. UPDATE 3/09 Everything here has been good. I have been hunting alot lately the pups are doing very well. Last night I turned one loose for them they didint have a clue that I had a coon. After getting them out of the box they opened up turned them loose and they made short work of treeing it even though the coon had made it about a quater mile before he went up a tree. Storm did very good about holding her tree both soound very good flying through the woods. The pups are really starting to get with the program. Shy (the red head) has been doing really well at first she was scared of a gun shot but it only took her once to figure out what comes out of the tree now she could care less. She is still timid around the house but this changes when its time to go to the woods its like a totally different dog. She likes to go with the big dogs and won't take any crap form another dog. I really like here mouth when she opens she screams no chop or bawl she is a squaller, on tree she changes to a solid chop and is a stand on the tree no jumping or fussn around. She hasn't treed an open coon by herself but has opened first and been backed by some pretty good dogs.She is also very independent always trying to split.

Chance, a fine dog from our kennel is now owned and hunted by Josh Kreitz of PA. He is about 5 years old, a nice solid hound sure to tree a coon if one is out and about. Josh is quite proud of him as he should be. This picture was taken on a hunt with Josh where Chance was treed on a very steep bank. Chance had the coon!
