Good lookin' dogs. Craig Britton at Montana Livestock Auction had a dog
that looked like these. He was Craig's right arm.

Talking about cows fighting dogs, when we had the yellow dog we didn't
have a cow that challenged her after we had her awhile. She had 'presence' and if a cow came at her she never gave ground. She'd
grab their nose, ear, anything she could get ahold of. And she meant
business. Now this male dog we have, he's a chicken; and he'll run,
so they challenge him a lot. Mr. FH says a dog like that teaches cows
to fight. He still helps, but if the going gets tough, he leaves. He's
better than no dog, cuz he'll sure get cattle out of places, most of the
time. He's a long was from a good dog, though, but he's an
awful good friend. So he has a home til he dies.

I lost the ladies name who raised them-she's from Caspar, Wyoming I think-must have a kid in college rodeo she was at Miles City.

Thank you FH for your compliments on Zeke and Trixie. They are just about 3 now. They were sired by Juan Reyes's dog Weasel, who won the Denver's National Stock Dog competition in '97. Unfortunately right after winning Weasel got into some kind of poison at the feed lot and died. Zeke, the male, is a better pasture dog cause he is a bit of a coward at heart. Trixie on the other hand is almost fearless. She'll bite nose, ears, front feet and hind feet. She's actually starting to learn to think on her own and use her power judiciously. One nice thing about these dogs is their willingness to go a fare distance to find stock that they can't see. This spring they traveled about a 1 3/4 of a mile before they found a group of about 200 yearlings and brought them to me. They still bring the cattle a bit fast but as they mature I think they'll slow down a bit. I also have a photo I am going to post after chores of a young McCallum border collie that we call King. And I'd like to post a picture of my old dog Cap. He died 2 years ago now. Best dog I've ever had. I'll tell you about some of his feats when I post his picture.

Well, she mashed 3 last night. 4 males left. The blue one and 3 black n tans. I sure was wontin some jyps but they will do. I got on my filly today. First time sence 3 weeks before christmas was the last time I rode. My little filly is almost bomb proof thanks to my son and some friends ridein here a lot. Goes from a walk to a slow lope and stops like a reanin horse. Spins good to. She just need to see more cows but she's fixin to get a break. She's dew to foal in about 2 mos. Whin I get back from maryland, I'll have somethin to play with.
