Kentucky Color: Smokey II, the legend is born By Billy Joe Fudge Smokey was born in June of 1955. Dad was promised the pick of the litter but when he found out the puppies had been born, all were already gone except for the runt of the litter, Smokey. As we have discussed in the past, Smokey was a Lemon-Spotted English Pointer. You can read about what makes them visually different from other Pointer Breeds in a recent Kentucky Color: Best Covey Dog. As one might imagine, Smokey's name stemmed from his almost total white color. Whether hunting in the snow or out traipsing with me across the Rock Lick watershed in front of our house or the Pettit's Fork watershed behind our house, he would often become invisible when not moving. Additionally, that little white puppy being named Smokey was a preternatural occurrence in my life considering that another animal named Smokey would frame my adult life in my career as a Wildland Firefighter and Forest Manager! My philosophy is heavily weighted by the idea that there are no accidents. Smokey, being of slight build and an anemic looking runt would most probably not have been chosen over his more impressive litter mates by my dad. The fact that those hunters who chose prior to Dad's arrival did not choose Smokey is the proof in the pudding. This story was posted on 2025-03-29 13:10:43
