Next generation

Got word Monday, the gyp pup I sent to Lufkin out of spoon and Misty met her fate on the highway at 9 months old running her own hog. Man said 4 hunts in she had it figured out and was on her way to being a good one. Seems freak accidents are the M.O. with these dang dogs.

Last Saturday I sent sketch to a highschool boy that come to me wanting to get some dogs about 8 months ago. He’s been patient and respectful and done really well raising the pup out of sketch, so we brought him out Saturday with us for the 2nd time. Went and caught 15 head, got his pup goose started in the woods, and sent him home with sketch so he can start making some casts on his own and getting that pup the exposure he needs to make the dog he’s bred to be.
Was tough to watch her go, 8 years I leaned on that gyp to carry me and whatever I was putting out behind her to the hogs. These days, if we don’t catch one it’s not because sketch wasn’t there. Shes serving a much greater purpose with maverick helping to teach him and her son goose how to hog hunt. When ever she decides to give up the hogs for good, she will get to come home and retire to the ranch dog life.
