I say original since Billy has a pup from her named the same. There are several of her pup's that went to some fine Aldeer Members. I sure would like to see some pictures from the guys that got pups from her. She is 12 years old now and doing good. She went through a spell of seizures back 6 months ago, I took the flea collar off of her and they went away. I sure am proud that she is doing better, dreading the day thats coming. If it climbs a tree she's on it and been seen hanging on the side of a tree for extended periods of time. The ones that got pups her are glad to know that she comes very well bred on both sides of Loonies 2020 and Franklins Thunder Blood. Just saying anyone on the fence about a great breed, they are very loyal, not a jump up on you kind of dog, pure grit, smarter than probably 30% on Aldeer, lol If you happen to have a pup, put it up.

This is the pup we kept from her, The sire is a Kemmer bred cur as in Gold Nugget bred. My Daughter named her Caleesi, I call her Callie. She is a no nonsense accurate tree dog and absolutely loves a good petting. They will come up to you in the Cur unique position as in the picture to be petted without jumping on you which I really prefer.

Good looking dogs.......

I will say mine normally don’t jump on you like my black mouth will. But Rio will try to slide in your lap if you are sitting in a chair. He’s 12 too old slow half deaf but still willing to hunt crippled up and all.

Had a coon on camera after I posted that so off we went and knocked it out. Now he’s in the bedroom asleep on his bed.

Thanks for sharing.

I had no idea that Bob's dog, Sadie, the momma of my dog, Sadie, had the same name, until later after getting my Sadie. Had I known, I might would have chosen something different. I had my Sadie's name picked out before I picked her up. She has been a great dog. Probably the best of my lifetime.


We are in Fayette County, hunting today.



Sadie, with our 9 point buck from Tuesday of this week.



My partner...

I wish I could do that with Lilly, but she doesn’t handle gun shots very well. I’ve got that same coat for her.

The first gun shot that Sadie ever heard was the day I got home with her from Oakachoy's place. I started shooting a pistol around her that first day. She has never been shy of a gun shot, I think due to the early conditioning.

I condition my pups with loud bangs of feed bowls and then move to a 22, works well. Billy what size is Sadies vest?

Medium. My Sadie weighs 43 lbs.
