Another fine hound from our kennel. Nikki owned by Ron and Roxanne Farrell of PA. Here is what he has to say about Nikki. We thought you might like an update on Nikki. We're happy with her. This is her at a den tree on Friday night. The snow really did a job on their feet so they're gonna be laid up for a few days. She still has a lot of puppy in her and I gotta ger her treeing a little harder. She hasn't run any trash and goes off huntin and checks back. She's really good on track.

Indianfield's Lone Pine Buck. This promising young hound is now hunting in the swamps of Virginia. He has a nice big bawl mouth that's hard to miss in the woods. Indianfield's Lone PIne Buck - A Nice started Male His new owner Paul Sanders of VA is singing his praises. Buck is really doing well. Will run and tree his own coon on a hot track. Has a big bawl mouth. Buck has many good names in his pedigree including World CH Handsome Hank, several Houses dogs and Hicountry Night Hawk. A quick learner with a big bawl mouth. Paul called just today and was telling how that Buck was raising cain at the kennel. When he went to check on him and opened the door, Buck took off. He thought "oh no" He's running off. However ol Buck had other ideas. He was tracking and bawling up a storm down a small creek along his house. He went about 300 yds and treed hard. When Paul got there there was coon tracks all around in the mud and it was a big den tree. We are proud to say Buck is from our kennel and look forward to seeing great things from Buck. Buck is all business when you open the tailgate. We expect great things from Buck. |
Take a gander at Lizy, a beautiful female pup out of Lonepine Francis x Sharp Tooth Goliath (Cujo), both heavily bred Finley River Lone Pine hounds. Their proud owners, Gary and Deanne drove around 5500 miles round trip to get three of our pups. See what they say about these pups. "Lizy wants to hunt all the time. At 5-1/2 months of age - The girls have already been working great they have a lot to learn but they did pick up a track on a cat that was 2 days old and followed it up behind the house for about 300 yards. We were so excited!!!!" That's the Finley River blood in them! 10/09 - Gary just drove out again for more pups for the "pack". They were so impressed with Lizy, Tiva (sorry if I killed the name) and Chunk, their natural ablities and willingness to learn they they wanted more! "The Girls" and Jenks have started to run cat and bear. Now remember this first back ranges in age from 9 months to not quite a year yet. They have been treeing coons for a while now. We look forward to updated pictures soon!

This is Chunk, a Annie x Ricky (out of Lone Pine Kate) cross. He was just born in mid July of this year (2009) He was the only survivor out of his litter but from very early on he seemed quite special. He wasn't interested in "playing" like other pups. He was like a grown up dog in a puppy body. Read of his escapades with Jenks on the lower right frame. Now remember, this pup is just over 3 months old. He is going to be quite the hound and I think you will be reading a lot more about this Lone Pine Finley River bred Hound. |
This is Jenks a beautiful Lone Pine Finley River male out of Chyna x Raven who is now residing at a beautiful ranch in the beautiful northwest region of the US. Jenks is now about 9 months old shown here. He is a future "big cat" dog. He was showing incredible promise at just 4 months of age. His owner's Deanne and Gary love their Lone Pine Finley River pups. This is what they have written. THEY ARE SOME OF THE SMARTEST dogs with great noses and big loud bawls that can be heard quite easily when they are on the hunt." And from a previous email. "He (Jenks) doesn't know quit and he has an attitude that won't quit which is great he will need that hunting. His latest escapade includes a 3 months old pup "Chunk" that Gary drove across the country and picked up just a couple of weeks ago. Read some excepts of a recent email. I wanted to drop you a line and let you know that today we got a call first thing, a friend had shot a cat last night and could not track him down so he wanted us to help. We loaded up Jenks, Chunk, and his unregistered female Lucy and we headed up to the last place they had tracked him. As it turned out Chunk struck the track!!! Jenks headed out and we turned Lucy loose. The trees were so thick it was like walking thru brush, Gary following Lucy with Jenks and Chunk and Lucy running balls to the wall ~ he (the cat) was injured and he ran circles. I just put my head down and tried to get thru the thickets and get a picture but I am still injured and they would cross in front of me about three to five feet; then the cat, then Lucy 5 seconds behind him, then I was turning and going the opposite direction to try and get in front again, but with no luck. I kept hearing Lucy like she had him treed, but he (the cat) couldn't go up a tree, he would be under the thickets and Lucy would half circle him and he would dart out again. She finally got him out on a fallen log across the crick when he came barreling at her and wadded her up in a ball and began striikeing out at her and Gary yelled and he ran with her hot on his trail. We called it off at that point we didn't want any dogs hurt. As we were walking back to the truck Jenks and Chunk struck the track and Chunk is so little that the fallen trees were hindering him and he would whimper until we went and helped him over, as they went after the cat again we called and called for about 15 minutes and Jenks came back with out Chunk. Then we found Chunk stuck behind a log he couldn't get over, but we were proud of them as they kept their noses to the ground and they followed the track. they will get the running down soon I am sure, but they found the track and stayed with it, they kept coming back to Gary to check in but they knew we were on the chase of that smell and they worked the track excellent! If he (the cat) hadn't been injured he would have treed within the first 10 minutes after Chunk struck the track. Chunk is exhausted right now but I wanted to let you know how well he did on his first cat chase. Both he and Jenks on their first cat chase. |
This is a beautiful pup out of this year's Francis x Bolt Cross. His name is Luther and he is now 3-1/2 months old. So many times we brag about our dogs hunting and tracking abilities but forget those who are looking for a companion/pet with possible future hunting prospects~~or not! This little fella is proudly owned by the Van Werts in MD. Here is an exerpt from some of their emails. Hey there,
I hope y'all are doing well! Luther is growing like a weed, it's unbelievable... He's very social, and I can't take him anywhere without people telling me how good-looking he is and then squatting down to pet him and more recently I took this one the other night, and I'm sure you can see he's adjusted quite well... He's growing like a weed--3 1/2 months and he's about 30 lbs already! And talk about personality...he's got more than enough for one dog! He's happy and healthy, and is very much part of our family. So I'm putting a plug in for all those looking at this website thinking of a coonhound as a family pet. They make great ones....especially if you are active and live in the country. They love kids and are protective of their people. They are also very very smart so do not underestimate them. If you are looking for a pet, and can't find a local breeder, check out rescues and shelters in your area. Young Coonhounds do need exercise so they either need a place to run or to go with you on walks or runs on a regular basis. (Older ones enjoy it too) |
