It is rare that I get to talk dogs with people who are interested, especially people who are interested in Rat Terriers. It is even more rare that I get to talk with folks about hunting with their dogs. And even more rare, and a precious experience, when I get to talk with people about hunting with their Rat Terriers.
I received that rare gift today when Tim Brown stopped by on his way to his brother's house in Cody, Wyoming. It was too short of a visit! I do hope that I get forgiven for my being a little rattled when he first came, I wasn't expecting him until tomorrow; we all know how some folks can be when their house isn't in good shape - that was me.
Tim soon put me at ease when we sat to talk for a few hours about my current dogs and dogs that he has had. Tim was instrumental in preserving the line of hunting terrier dogs from Milton Decker. If you click on his name above, you will read more about them and their Rat Terrier heritage. Most all "Decker Terriers" these days are mostly Rat Terriers and all are registered as such. There is currently a small contingent of people who want to see the Decker line dogs as their own breed; you can spot a "Decker" a mile away mostly because of their size and distinctive headpieces.
I love hearing stories about dogs, and I am sure that he barely even scratched the surface with his stories about his hunting dogs and their antics. I do hope that he takes me up on my offer to go rabbit hunting on his way back through.
Oh, and I was tickled pink that he was very impressed with the little ball of sass I call Miss Jada.
I could go on, but supper isn't going to cook itself.
