Echo/Gates 2007 Litter: Easton

Leslie's Blog

My name is Art Stoner (dinger2b on the Blog). I picked up the first pup, old yellow, and got to see all of your dogs as well. It is no surprise to me that you are happy. I live in Denver Colorado, and my daughter drove down with me to pick up my guy. On the way back she suggested that we set up a Blog so that everyone could share their stories about raising their pups. Not just when they are puppies but as they grow up as well and either hunt or enter competition. My boy Hombre will be doing hunt tests and field trials. I asked Leslie and she thought it was a good idea for a Blog. I was not so sure since I had never done any thing like this before. However I dug in and we have it set up. But I would encourage everyone to let either Leslie or myself know if there is something that you would like changed or deleted or that we could do better. For example I am going to a Mike Lardy workshop Feb 21^st to 24^th and will take both of my guys with me. I plan to post a slideshow for each day and hope it is of value to some. Let me know what you think. Got an idea for a poll questions, let us know. My older dog is named Maverick as well. Thanks for sharing your puppy with the rest of us!

Easton

A few shots of Easton at 10 weeks. He loves to follow us around the house and rest at our feet when he's tired. (Hard to take pictures when he's active! He loves to jump at the camera. . .)One of our sons came home from Canada yesterday and met Easton for the first time--wonderful to see them get to know each other. . .friends for life! Weather in Chicago has been mild---we enjoy taking short walks with Easton.
