I tell ya ,pals, well... next month I deploy to the Horn of Africa for 15 months. As such, I sold off all of my fast dogs as it would just be too much for my wife and daughter to care for.And they need to be hunted.My wife loves to hunt coyotes with our fast dogs, but she just won't have the time by herself. I was thinking about what I was going to put in my kennels when I return and between what I have learned as Vargy's protege of sorts and from you guys here...I'm already contacting Patterdale breeders for when I return. I think I've been missing out using Patts as a very viable coon dog.
