We bury our hounds at home, so they are always close to us. We just lost GRNITECH-CH Latch 'Em Up Queen on
Feb 17,2012. She was the beloved coonhound of our youngest son.May she Rest in Peace.

I was happy when i seen this website. My dad, James Curtis, has his dog, Hardtime Wrangler, buried here. I hope one day to take a ride down there and look at all the graves of these great dogs.

Love the website, can't wait to visit....

Great Site

its so sad when you lost a best friend in the world.

Hope to come back soon! There is no love stronger then that of a hunter and their dogs!

Hope to visit soon. God bless

My husband went hunting down in south Alabama about 7 years ago and he came home with a bluetick puppy that we named Daisymae, We had her for about 2 weeks and I said she has to go!!! She was all puppy and only people that have had a bluetick puppy know what I am talking about.(LOL)So we gave her to one of my Husbands friends, I CRYED FOR 24 HOURS. So we went back and got her and she is still here today, and THE BEST DOG WE HAVE EVER HAD!!! WE LOVE OUR DAISYMAE!!!!

Just had to put down my beloved redbone down last week. We visited the cemetery last summer and I had hoped to lay Red to rest there. Unfortunately God must have had other plans. But I am sure ole Red is running with the other hounds anyway. RIP Red. 9-10-98 to 8-29-11
