Had the series continued, perhaps I could have influenced that! Then again, my futile attempts at accurate dog portrayals in actual episodes were not very successful! Although I would not mind repeating those stories about my experiences with dogs used on a T.V. series, for anyone not wanting to wait, they are told in detail on the "Christyfest" website. Just click on the message board, then on the Christy T. V. series section, and scroll down till you find, first, the Pilot Episode, and then the episode entitled "The Hunt", and have a good laugh at Hollywood's efforts to portray hunting dogs in the Appalachians!....L.B.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732486.post-57159798995549203842009-06-16T08:46:48.437-07:002009-06-16T08:46:48.437-07:00Hi Lane,

Throw in a black and tan and it’s my idea of heaven.<br /><br />Looking forward to the insider info :-)<br />GreggEliezer M.

Any of you guys with past experience with my pecking on the internet, know that it doesn't take much encouragement to get me to rambling about dogs! Next up, I will take the subject of my trailhounds; why I have them, etc. And yes, Gregg Barrow, I am the same Lane Batot that worked on the Christy series--quite the experience! There's even a couple of funny dog stories related to that T.V. series.....Do you know about "Christyfest"?, where fans of the long canceled series(and anything else to do with the character and Appalachian life) gather every year in the little town where it was filmed? Sort of like trekkies, only nicer, and not as weird! I call them(affectionetely) "Crispies"! I usually participate(they feed me great!)--last year I even did a lecture on Appalachian hunting dogs. This year, in conjunction with the nearby Smoky Mountains National Park anniversary(75th), I'll be doing a lecture on wildlife in the area. They have a great website--you should check it out. My nom-de-plume on the message board is "Delusional Figment"(I played the part of a ghost in one episode seen by an exhausted, stressed, and obviously delusional kid). Yeah, this could be future Querencia fodder, too!....L.B.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732486.post-48531961357349142752009-06-16T03:59:54.468-07:002009-06-16T03:59:54.468-07:00Lane - was thinking of you the other day - hadn...Lane - was thinking of you the other day - hadn't seen anything from you in a while.
