New Mountain Feist pups 6-1-11

 Buckley's Puggsy and Buckley Stubby pups are here 6-1-11. There are 7 pups . Four males with three females.

Bad News

I have some really bad news. Bunny was due to whelp the 16th. Took her to the vet this morning and lost her and all the pups. I really will miss this lil gal. She was a pretty good squack dog and a dandy reproducer.
Got home and saw where Arnold girl had made bench champ out of one of her pups Ace. Sad she died the same day he made champ.
We had her whole litter of pups booked and some where to some members here on SDH. I will be calling you in a couple days deciding which direction you want to go from here.

Princess X Taz pups are living the good life. They will be 3 weeks old tomorrow so I moved them into the puppy crate. They have already starting to eat the goat re-placer. I will continue putting Princess in with them so they can nurse 2 times a day for 2 more weeks. At week 5 I will let them nurse Princess only one time oer day for 3 days then wean them.

I turned these two Mountain Feist Squirrel dogs loose up the hill last night at the edge of dark to see if they would find one of the coons that are eating my feeders dry. Well what they found was Rocky in the squirrel tube.

This is our Buckley Mountain Feist pup Omega at 9 months old getting his 1st look at a squirrel in the training tube. Normally we have them going good before his age but because the lack of mast last year our squirrels moved out. We are now starting to get a few back and with luck and a heavy mast crop this year we can get him in on lots of hunts on wild squirrels letting the natural instincts bred into him come out.
He is out of Aqua X Tax and is the litter brofe the ones all the guys picked up this week end. I think he may hate a squack. This was right during the heat of the day and he treed on it over 3 min. without letting up. Watch the video.
