Dakota is probably the luckiest of all the pups going where its warm and not having to fight the freezing cold winters that her brothers and sisters in Iowa, North Dakota, Minnesota, and Nebraska will have to face. She went home Saturday morning to Colleen, Texas with Lon and Gail Hibbard. She will be greeted by another Lab (Kansas) who already has some tournaments under her belt. Lon has served in the army for over 20 years and served 8 years in Korea, 3 years in the Middle East, and just recently a year in Iraq. Lon arrived home this past Monday made it home for a homecoming ceremony and then drove straight to Iowa with his wife to pick up Dakota. Lon will spend the next couple of years in the states and plans on getting Dakota ready to hunt tournaments like her big sister Kansas. We are forever grateful for Lon's service in the Army, and he is a man truly dedicated to preserving the freedoms of this great country. Any man that is willing to serve his country as long as Lon has will make a great home for one of my pups. Dakota was one of the most energetic and rambunctuous of the group. Always playing, chasing, and wrestling with her siblings. She has the energy and drive that will make her a great tournament hunting dog, and I look forward to following her progress as she grows into a hunting machine!Monday, June 15, 2009
