Thanks, everybody!  The puppers are the "kids" now!  :D  Calhoun, our merle, is a handsome boy!  He has great dogs behind him too.  Our fawn Luke is from champion stock as well!  Our Abbie is a byb girl who is just perfect in every way!
Definitely fun dogs!

Calhoun is a studly looking boy.  I love the name.  Is there any significance?  Rory Calhoun? In MSP one of the city lakes is Calhoun and it is a frequent spot winter and summer of my pack. 
: Re: Newbi Here!
: Ida March 09, 2008, 11:20:42 AM
Hi Mojo!  We picked Calhoun since we live in Kentucky!  His breeder had a Calhoun in the past too!  :D  His AKC name is Colonel Calhoun of Oakwoods!  :D
We wanted another "sound" too.  We had Abbie, the "b" sound, Luke, the hard "k" sound and wanted something different.  When you call a dog, similar sounds are confusing.  We're on 5 acres here!  They're called A LOT!  :D

I figured you were a little bit south of me.  Not too many Brick houses this far north.  It looks awesome.

I see Calhoun has one of Butler's (my Mastiff's) habbits...Watc hing animals on TV. I have never had a dog that was atracted to visual images on TV but Butler is and Calhoun seems to be as well.  Its the darndest thing.
