This Thanksgiving
I give thanks
For the opportunities
To watch great all-age dogs
Looking back on those years
I give thanks for the chances
God gave me to write up
The best dogs of those days
Many bred, started and finished
By one man greatly envied
By others couldn’t beat him
Much less out breed him
Or out train him
For he knew how
To get the most
A prospect had in him
His name was Ferrel Miller
He made no bones about it
He did it for the money
Simple capitalism
He was born poor
Learned the value of the dollar
He never forgot it
But when he sold a derby the buyer got what he bargained for
Take for example Rick Furney
Bought from Ferrel
Southern Pride and
On Line
On Line National Champ 2004
Southern Pride Invitational Champ 2005
Both Hall of Fame
Both Ferrel Miller bred and trained
