Maynard, I have had over 85 different employees at Byron Walker in my 33 years here. A minimum of 20 of those have gone on to work at full-time positions in the wildlife field that I know of. One of those is currently the Deputy Secretary of Operations for KDWP. I've always believed in hiring...

Thank you again Maynard! I'm sure, like your partridge pea, I have left long lasting finger prints along with my foot prints wherever my career took me. Wouldn't have it any other way. Much like my predecessor, I'm sure I wasn't always right, but I can't be accused of not giving it my best...

God Bless Maynard! Gonna miss it, but my body is telling me that a younger dog needs to enter the fight. Can't surgically remove the physical stuff and retain the rest. Having trouble with my voice as well. May have to rely on a whistle!

This is Rain. She is 6 and has had 3 nice litters for me and the pups have received good reports. She and her brother, Briar, are for sale, make an offer. They are grand get of Shadow Oak Bo out of my dog Quill above.

This is Moka. She, her sister Clover, and brother Blue are pretty much the same dog in different coats. They are 8 years old and the description of their pedigree is on Blue's listing.

This is Quill. She is 9 and a granddaughter of Brannigan, Ruffian, Mesquite Ridge Kosmo, and Prairie Drifter Sage. She has whelped in the kitchen and could make a house dog. Very stylish on birds. Girls I'm giving to good homes.

This is Blue. He is 8 years old. His sire is a grandson of Tomoka and True Citizen. He has Grouse ridge John, Susan's Lady Bird, Brannigan, Winning Colors, and Havelock Blacksmith in the next generation. His dam was a granddaughter of The Insider, and Grouse Ridge Paris. The next generation...

This is Torch. He is a grandson of Pine Hill Morgan, Pine Hill Pearl, Tomoka, and Ruffian. He is 9 years old. All of these dogs have found and pointed birds. I haven't hunted the last few years due to health problems and major work projects. All my pictures are when they were being trained...

The Prairie Drifter is retiring the end of this year. I couldn't find a home in the country and am buying a house in town. As a result, I have to cut my dog numbers from 15 to 5. I have 3 females I will give to good homes that are 8 and 9 years of age. I have 1 grandson of Tomoka, 1 grandson...

Add that to leaving a career of 40 years that I have loved and I may show a tear sooner or later. I am giving my females away without papers. They are largely beyond breeding age. I was hoping there was some value to the males due to their genetics. I've asked $1000 each for them though I...

Yes sir. Litter was sold by 8 weeks of age.

I have a 9 year old grandson of Tomoka who's latest litter is about 12 weeks of age. Second is an 8 year old tricolor who's sire is a grandson of Tomoka and True Citizen and who's dam is a granddaughter of The Insider and Grouse Ridge Paris. Third, is a 6 year old grandson of Shadow Oak Bo out...

Went through hell getting my email confirmed. Been working on it for a couple of months. Received .18 yesterday. Town had .5 in the first rain and maybe more after. Can't seem to buy a good rain. Lake is down 3 feet. Been trying to fill it since August last year. Went down 10 inches in...

I do still have this female available.

Storms snuck up on us yesterday. Got .09, the .01, then .32 for a total of .42. Just planted Japanese millet in the marshes this week. This rain should bring all that up and give it a kickstart!
