Time is not always a kind master. What you have done to further the use of tracking dogs in this country I feel will not be surpassed by anyone. I reread your book ,Dead On ,before every deer season opens to refresh my memory of what deer may do when wounded and still able to run. The Deer Search number is in my phone and thankfully I have not had to use it in a very long time. Odin knows his job even at his young age due to your early guidance. I wish you the best and if you ever find yourselves around Millbrook you are welcome at 891 camby Rd. God Bless you sir and thank you.

They were always wonderful loving pets, but until I read your blogs I didn’t appreciate what they were as Working/Hunting dogs. <br />Your passion for your dogs, tracking game, and the outdoors have been a delight for me to read about. <br />Eventhough your in this transition in life I hope you might continue to blog occasionally and pass on the wisdom and insights you have learned through the dogs you’ve trained. <br />Thanks again for passing along your knowledge to the next generations. <br />All the best<br />Ramsey BellAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05596545308996395803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5964329604594247607.post-68352921436569628022018-01-28T20:14:58.729-05:002018-01-28T20:14:58.729-05:00You will be missed but have inspired so many with ...You will be missed but have inspired so many with Your love for the dogs and trackingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5964329604594247607.post-52826686930184972852017-12-07T15:27:02.229-05:002017-12-07T15:27:02.229-05:00Please place richard and Carole dye on your list f...Please place richard and Carole dye on your list for updated information on upcoming litters and how we can hopefully start the process.

I've enjoyed all the books, articles and even radio interview from Louisiana. I have learned a lot from you and the knowledge that you have passed on to the instructors. Although you will not be tracking, I hope to read more of your articles. Joer seems to be a fine dog as all the dogs that ya'll have owned.

By sharing your knowledge about tracking wounded deer with dogs you have trained many a new tracking team. Through your Legislative efforts you have opened many states up to tracking that were previously closed. Now many other experienced handlers have started teaching new teams that are trying to learn and they use your book as the text book. Through these ambassadors you have multiplied your presence many times over. You may not be in the woods physically but you are out there with your ambassadors many times every season. You can take great satisfaction knowing how much you have helped. You will still be along with us on our tracks and I will still call when I get stumped. I am not saying that you are retired but have moved to an advisory role. Thank you Mr John.

My husband is the same age as you and our Greta a bit older than Joeri. I watch them now with a smile and remember their youth, when the world was theirs.<br />Now master and his sleepy girl enjoy the love and comfort they give each other.<br />It's a blessing to have such a companion in this life.

Take heart in knowing that you have created a legacy that has positively impacted thousands of trackers, and even more hunters. Many special moments have been created between hunters and tracking dogs because of a movement that you began decades ago.

I will argue this point or haul my dogs to wherever it takes to make you eat your words. in short 90% of the problem is the trainer not the dog!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02754622778936277963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5964329604594247607.post-44184112494323089852017-04-27T20:26:42.546-04:002017-04-27T20:26:42.546-04:00I'm new to the blood trailing and trying to le...I'm new to the blood trailing and trying to learn as much as I can form threads and post on the net I have been hunting hogs with dogs for most of my life but it never cease to amaze me how a dog works.awesome story and if you have any pointers they would b much appreciated...thanks TerryAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06887264826348240903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5964329604594247607.post-20348726163000553892017-03-26T19:08:41.872-04:002017-03-26T19:08:41.872-04:00Nice read, thanks for the informative insight from...Nice read, thanks for the informative insight from your experiences Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05992200772246627964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5964329604594247607.post-17866906210912199222017-03-21T20:07:57.164-04:002017-03-21T20:07:57.164-04:00We just adopted a wire haired Dachsund mix from th...We just adopted a wire haired Dachsund mix from the shelter.
