   Hey
Ray!
The pups are doing great! I attached a few pictures of them in their new
home. I’m going to take them to the vet soon and I was wondering if you
ever got to updating their shot records? I just wanted to thank you
again-they’ve been a lot of fun so far and they are very loved. Their
two best friends are two border collies! Hope you’re well. Talk to you
soon

    Ray,
I don't know if you remember us. We got a male pup from you 3 years ago
from Andy & Tiny's litter. His name is T. He is a wonderful dog. Last
September we got another pup from Andy & Molly's litter. Rocky is a
little more hyper than T but he too is so sweet. I wanted to send you an
updated picture of both of them. Rocky loves to swim in the pool and T
is just scared to death of it. Rocky is quite hysterical when he gets in
there....We thought you might enjoy these!!!! The first 2 are
Rocky in the swimming pool, the other 2 are of T. Take care, Brian
& Deidre, Granite City, IL

 Hey
Ray, I hope all is well. I picked a pup up 2 years ago and just wanted
to let you know he's doing great, by far the most well behaved and mild
mannered of the 3 dogs I have! He's the only one of the three I have
that I can leave off the leash and walk around the yard outside without
him running off.. he's super loyal and stays within eyeshot of me! I
don't do any hunting, have just raised him spoiled rotten. Thanks again,
Rob from SC.
Pic is of Luke riding in passenger seat.. one of his favorite things to
do! |

 Happy

Ray:
Thought, I would send you a picture of "Dixie" she is now 18 months old.
She loves to chase the rabbits, coons and skunks. Dixie is also a people
dog. She loves kids and has become a dam good watch dog too boot. Ray,
she sure is a lot of company for me now that I am getting older. She
walks at least two miles a day and is as lean as she can be at 90
pounds. My son takes her out and they play with a Frisbee till she wears
him out. Hope, things are going well for you and your family in these
tuff times we are now in. It does not look good for this country and I
am afraid this is just the tip of the iceberg. I hope you all happy a
nice 4th of July. Respectfully, Gaten |

 Ray,
Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I just wanted to thank you again
for the great puppy you sold us a few months ago. 'Singer' is turning
into the perfect dog and we are getting so much enjoyment out of him. We
bought him as a surprise for my mom's birthday since we lost our
coonhound last year and we couldn't have gotten a better dog. My parents
love him so much and he is absolutely the picture of a coonhound in
personality. He constantly makes us all laugh. We have all had so much
fun seeing him come into his own. You truly breed quality dogs. Even
though we don't intend to hunt him he shows great instincts. He never
goes anywhere his nose isn't getting to first. I did some deer hunting
over Thanksgiving and he got so excited to see 'the kill;" it was neat
to watch. Anyway, I hope ya'll have a very Merry Christmas. Just wanted
to thank you again. We'll be looking for another bluetick in the future
and will definitely come to you to get him.

  Hi
Ray,
Tried to send an email to update you on Lester Ray. He is doing well and
is John's constant companion now that John has retired. They get out for
treks throughout the week. Lester Ray is now more known than either of
us as he knows that a little baying usually brings some attention as he
waits for John. Of course John has him within sight as Lester Ray looks
for new friends. Our daughter is now living in Atlanta, Georgia, so I
keep threatening when we get out to visit her we may have to give you a
warning and head out to look at pups. Attached are Lester Ray's baby pic
and a recent pic. Note the reading material in the background and his
tired eyes. One smart cooner. John and Jane Martin |

 Hi
Ray,
I hope things are going well for you, here is a pic of Rock, he's a good
looker wouldn't you say? I think he could be a show dog in the right
hands, he's been doing pretty good in the timber also, he is a treeing
fool, throws his head back like Andy, Hope you and yours have a Great
Holiday Season, Randy from Iowa. |

 Ray;
Just wanted to let you know that Bayle is adapting very well. She
is such a joy to have in the house, she keeps us laughing all the time.
Thank you again for such a sweet little
"monster" that we wouldn't trade for a thing!!

  Mr.
Ray - - here are some pics of the pups from today!! They are
absolutely the BEST dogs!! What other dog under a year of age would let
a 5 year old ride them like a horse!!! If someone who hunts got a hold
of Belle - they would be rejoicing - she is such a natural it's
unbelievable. We know when something is here that is not supposed to be.
She's amazing.
 We
have no plans to hunt them - but I can only imagine what she could do!
We have the best time watching her stalk Hunter. He doesn't stand a
chance!! And - isn't he a monster!!! He's barely 7-8 months and
already 60-70# I am sure!! He looks exactly like Jasper - except I am
partial enough to say I think he's prettier!! He is Brett's buddy! He
LOVES to play soccer - but - boy - if he gets out of hand - Belle is
there to correct him in a minute!! He could take her easily - but
she is definitely the dominant one! The next time you update your
website - please put them on!! If all of your dogs are like these - they
must be awesome!! Thanks again and take care!! |

   Ray,
Just wanted to let you know the pups are doing fine (Brandy & Amber).
Here are a few pics taken today.
Thanks Stephen |

 Hi
Ray!
I wanted to send you a picture of Hank, he is 11 months old now. During
Thanksgiving he was hit by a truck and broke his pelvis and hip bone. He
went through surgery and rehab but he is doing great now!! He still
loves to go out to our land and run with the horses and even chased an
Armadillo but I made him stop (they carry yellow fever). We want another
bluetick in the near future! They are such awesome dogs!!! |

 hi,
Ray. I'm sure you remember me? Jason from cold Michigan. Remember when
you, me, and matt went hunting? Well hear are some pictures of Whiskey
at 5 yrs old. He rigged this one while in side his dog box. Dirt and
acorns were flying when he hit the ground. He walks on water, crosses
rivers and climbs trees. You're web site has come a long way looks
really good. I'll be looking for a female soon and you're hounds are
looking good as always. I know you are very busy but I sure would like
to hear from you. Jason from Michigan |

   Hi
Ray!
It’s Breck from Louisiana. I purchased a gyp off of Cindy Lou back in
June. I am writing to tell you that she is an excellent dog. Scout has
fit in since day one! She is growing like a weed. She going on 9 months
old and weighs around 60 pounds. She hunts everything in sight along
with my first bluetick Dixie. I just wanted to give an update, send some
pictures and thank you again for making a long distance purchase and
easy one. I will defiantly be doing business with you again!

 Hi
Ray,
Just wanted to let you know that Ranger is doing fantastic and in good
hands. I spent the first 10 days with him at my little cabin in Nettie
and brought him here to our farm in Hillsboro this weekend. We have
sunshine and 50+ degrees today and I am teaching him to lead and he is
doing very well...I thought you might enjoy this picture of Isaac &
Ranger taken last week while I was in Nettie...Dad lives in Nettie and
while I was there I took Ranger to visit him almost every day. Dad said
you have done very well with your pups. The grandkids have taken him
hunting several times already and he is certainly helping us get through
this very long winter. Thanks for making it possible to find my
dad a Hammer line Bluetick pup. It has stirred his memory and touched
many hearts... Sharon |

 Hey
Ray!
It's Russell. I haven't talked to you in a good long time, but I thought
I would give you a shout to let you know how my boy Clyde is doing. He
is now 6 months old and is doing absolutely great. Whenever we're out
and about he always wants to come with me. I've almost had him follow me
to class! He is so smart and has learned so many things it's scary! As
soon as his potty training period was pretty much over, he has not given
me one problem at all! His personality is one of a kind and I couldn't
ask for any better of a dog! When I brought him home, dad was a little
upset, but since then
 he's
grown to like him to the point that I feel like he would steal him from
me if he got the chance hehe. We just finished up Christmas here at home
and we were able to catch him resting on his new bed. I left some
pictures for you just to let you see how he is doing. He sure misses
ya'll and i know if he got the chance he would love to come back and
visit. Hope all is well up there in Blackstock and I hope your upcoming
year is filled with joy and prosperity. Take care, Ray!

 Hi
Ray I sent the check out yesterday. Just an update Bonnie is doing very
well and she is sooo smart. When we first brought Bonnie home she had
some water and some food and then we let her explore the house . All she
wanted to do was go sit at Chris' feet...I thought at first she would
favor him but it turns out she loves us equally...when one of us leaves
the room if she can't follow whoever left she will howl until whoever
left returns or she can find them. She learns daily. Stairs are now
mastered. She can jump off the bed but we try not to let her do that
until she gets a bit bigger. She barks at us when she needs to go out.
She is very good at letting us know what she wants. She lets us sleep in
the bed with her....yes she took over the bed. Today was very hot which
she didn't like to much so she spent most of the day in front of a fan.
I am taking her tomorrow to have her micro chipped. I have the papers in
a safe place and will be registering her soon. I have enclosed
some pictures for you. If you like feel free to add us to your happy
customers...we will possibly getting a male from you in the future.
Thanks again Ray
Dawn, Chris and Bonnie from California |

 Hi
Ray! We purchased a beautiful female Bluetick from you in January 2008.
We named her Birdie and she has fast become a member of our little
family. She is about as lovable as they come and loves snuggling with us
on the sofa (and in the bed, much to my dismay). She is extremely
active, but she is taking to training pretty well and is becoming a
really fun companion. She absolutely loves playing and being around
other dogs and people. She is always the last one standing! She is
almost 5
 months
now and has just found her voice--it is definitely distinctive and you
sure can't ignore it! We could not be happier with her and wanted to
thank you and Blue Tick Kennels for the great dog. She is
extremely loved and although we hate to admit it, extremely spoiled too!
We love her. Thank you! I am attaching a few pictures I thought you
could use for your web site.

 We
bought a pup from you back in Sept of last year. I just wanted to let
you know that she is a wonderful dog and being spoiled rotten on daily.
She sleeps on the couch at night but she runs the farm during the day.
She loves the spring weather. We trail ride on horse back and a couple
of weeks we took her on her first trail ride. She did wonderful,
followed the horses and barked the whole day. Several on the trail
thought it was amazing how she could walk, run and bark at the same time
and last the whole day. When we finally made it back to camp she was
worn out. She did great the next day, she learned to get out in front of
the horses and move on up the trail. She didn't bark as much that day,
thank goodness, it was cute the first day, but not something we were
wanting to hear all day long every ride. We are still having some
problems talking her into crossing moving water, but she is getting
better. She is extremely smart, sometimes smarter than we are. LOL We
love our Belle, and we are so glad we found your web site. Thanks she
was worth every penny. Mona from Kentucky |

Dear
Ray, My girlfriend Deidre got a male pup from you back in August of
2007. I had always wanted a bluetick and she got him for my birthday.
The whole process of purchasing him was smooth…from picking him out to
picking him up at the airport. From the time we picked him up we have
been in love with him. We couldn’t ask for a better dog. He puts a
smile on our faces every day and has a great personality and what a
nose!!! He was
 only
a few months old and was already treeing squirrels in our yard. I wish
I
 could
have ten of them but I would probably get ran out of my neighborhood!!!
I always tell people we own the world’s most spoiled coonhound…he pretty
much runs the house and he loves to wrestle with his brother…who is a
130 lb. Rottweiler. I’ve attached a few pictures of “T”…keep up the
good work! Brian and Deidre. Granite City, IL |

Dear Ray & Debra,
Here is a picture of Tank.
We got him from you about a year and a half ago and thought you
might enjoy a picture. He is an amazing dog. We have never had a
dog that demanded so much from us. Don has to run him daily with
the 4 wheeler or life just isn’t right. He gives as much back too.
He has been a constant companion and friend to us both. Thank you
for such a wonderful dog. ~ Don & Donna Martin ~
We hope to get another puppy from you
when Tank is about a year old. -- State of IDAHO |
