Geez...I thought I had the bad economy cornered here in my neck of the woods. Don't tell me it got away and made it all the way out to you!

I am very sorry to hear that Ed, I don't know what to say except. I hope all works out for the best for you and your family........Bob

All is going to be great. I'm going to keep like 4 or 5 dogs and just hunt. No more breeding or training. Hopefully a vacation. If the economy was good gee golly I'd be in high cotton but it's not so I'll just find something else to do like school.

Dogpower, I am close to being the oldest guy on here at 76. I learn something new most everyday. I think if I went back to school now, I would find the training easy. I know it would be a waste. But I now know and understand how important school really is........Bob

I was just throwing a little dig at Hillbilly...all in good humor.

Hey it all good I'm still going to keep my site and enough dogs to breed a litter or 2 plus I got a couple of guys that work for my training so I'm not all the way out. When this economy comes back I will probable kick it back up.

Well in a few days the website will be gone. Most of the dogs have been selling. I've decided to couple a handful for myself and my kids kept a couple. As much as I hunt I could keep them all but that wasn't the idea my wife says. Sad deal thought I could do it and I did but the strain was not much on the loved ones.

Over all, I think you made a very hard decision for all the right reasons. When the sun shines again on the economy hopefully you'll be well positioned to take advantage....if you get the approvals.

I'm done doing it for good.

 

I can understand that Ed, You stated it was rough on you and the family. I would be very reluctant to go back into also.......Bob

Better is an under statement I have a few more dogs to get rid of so if you all know anyone looking I'm taking offers. The website is gone. Now I'm planning on all the hunting I'll be able to do next year and won't have to come home every night to feed I'll have my dogs with me just imagine me hunting even more. I'm never going to stop bird hunting it's my passion but breeding and training for a living is over. Been looking for a job this week but have to go back next week on one. The mill I used to work at is supposed to start up here soon and they want me there. Got my new camper today so I got to get it ready for camping with the family and spring bear hunting. So all in all it's sad to get rid of the dogs but it opens more things up for me. Maybe a few of you guys could come down and I'll show you some awesome Grouse hunting.

count me in hillbilly. caution my dog is kinda ugly.( lol ) just kidding. cant wait till fall!

Ya you can hunt with me but that dog might want to stay here where he grew up. And your buyin the beer I'll bring the whiskey for after.

lets just start with the whiskey! jacks nice and cozy on his warm bed, and im pretty sure he will wanna come back to it! DAM, is it fall yet! ill be glad when this force fetching is over!

Well I tried but the wife moved to town I've now gotten rid of all my dogs. Don't worry I'm not getting divorsed or anything like that she just needed away while I did this. I kept my boys dog and daughters pup.

what about willy?

Sold him all I got left to go is Bones, River (lab), and a female EP.

wow! if i had the money i would buy him. hes a great looking dog! where did willy go?

Ontario Canada to live out his life hunting Ruffed Grouse and Wood C--k. It's going to be sad to see him leave. If you want Bones I would make you one heck of a deal. Call me if your interested.
