I have a Crockett puppy that is in the mold of Johnny Crockett, goes forever, won't quit, and hunts every jump. He would be your all day dog. He just doesn't have quite a good enough tail for today's judges. Hell of a little dog tho. He's my idea of a 3 hour dog. And you guys well know that 3 or 4 hours at foot pace ain't the same as 3 hours at all age pace and range.

: Well you've had fun with this one, like I knew
: you would. But I still hate to see the 3
: hours of the free for all disappear. I know
: the big time pros of today are just as happy
: without it, but it was an icon for me all
: these years. If I could pick one field
: trial to run in, much less win, it's the
: free for all. I spoke with an old time
: trainer and he thought the ffa was the
: greatest trial. The three hours of the ffa
: may be gone forever, but I still remember
: riding there. I am going to run a dog in it
: before I quit, I guarantee you. Say a
: prayer for me to live another year or two.
: I've lost the two best dogs I ever had in
: the last few Years. I nearly quit, but you
: old farts have got me livened up. If you
: still have enthusiasm after all these years,
: it gives me a little spark of hope. I have
: one pretty good one left i think. Keep it
: up. Hahaha, no double entendre intended.
: Btw, I saw in the field they ran a 1 hour
: aa on 430 acres!! Damn, I could hunt that
: on foot in an hour. Well, maybe not any
: more!!!

: I would have told her to take the gd^mn dog
: back and tell those guys to teach him his
: name before they hunted him again!!!! And I
: would have offered her one quail and told
: her that Sam was a helluva backer! Harry
