Mona and I purchased our Lab "Boomer " from Scott in August 2023 We found RJS kennels using AKC Market Place We called Scott and arranged to see his kennel , dogs and pups. We are very pleased with our choice. Scott was very gracious and has allowed me to work with he and Boomer to train and prep him for pheasant hunting. Even with a busy schedule of tending his farm and his other full time job he has made time for us His fees for doing so are very reasonable and has provide us a great opportunity to learn from him in his fields giving Boomer a chance to show his drive and natural hunting instincts.

Ozzy and Doc had a great hunt this weekend. Ozzy was solid as ever on his points, and Doc was amazing. His marks were spot on and his retrieves were flawless. Doc is the almost three year old son out of Lt. Dan and Tia. He is owned by Jonathan and Corina Horlock. Looks just like his dad, is a great family dog and is developing into a fantastic hunter. Can’t wait to see where he goes next!

JUST A DOG

From time to time, people tell me, "lighten up, it's just a dog," or "that's a lot of money for just a dog." They don't understand the distance traveled, the time spent, or the costs involved for "just a dog."

Some of my proudest moments have come about with "just a dog." Many hours have passed and my only company was "just a dog," but I did not once feel slighted.

Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by "just a dog," and in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of "just a dog" gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day.

If you, too, think it's "just a dog," then you will probably understand phrases like "just a friend," "just a sunrise," or "just a promise."

"Just a dog" brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure and unbridled joy.

"Just a dog" brings out the compassion and patience that makes me a better person.

Because of "just a dog," I will rise early, take long walks and look longingly to the future. So for me and folks like me, it's not "just a dog" but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment.

I hope that someday they can understand that it's not "just a dog," but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being "just a woman."
So the next time you hear the phrase "just a dog," just smile--because they "just don't understand."
