After searching for years to find the right fox red male to add to our home and breeding program, we found Buzz! Buzz is an absolutely beautiful dark fox red male that has been raised and trained by Carolyn Elam of Blazing Red Kennels. Buzz was raised in her home and loved as a member of the family. Buzz absolutely loves to work and hunt!! In 2024 he started his UKC hunt test career. He is very calm and focused on the line. So much so that a 9 year old girl got to handle him for his Started Hunter title. As a 2 year old, Buzz was a pheasant guide dog all winter. He earned his HRCH title early in 2025, then earned his SH title over the summer then returned to being a pheasant guide dog in the fall. We decided to bring him home for a few months to get to know him personally. Our plan is to pursue a Master Hunter and Upland Hunter titles in 2026. 

In November 2025, I drove down to Ohio to meet Buzz and then bring him home for a few months. While there I was able to go on a pheasant hunt with him as the guide dog. Talk about a beast! Buzz absolutely loves upland hunting and it is so easy to see why he was one of Carolyn’s go-to guide dogs. He does a phenomenal job! 

Since bringing him home I have been completely amazed. You would think bringing an intact adult male into a home with multiple dogs would be a challenge or at least there would need to be an adjustment period. The reality was that he fit right in and everyone (meaning all the dogs) accepted him like he has always been a part of our family. No adjustment period needed. This is a testament to how Carolyn raised, trained and socialized him. Buzz is very calm in the house and has a huge desire to please. He is a pure joy to have around. He is extremely affectionate, happy all the time, gentle with me and the younger dogs despite his size. He is just so easy. In my opinion, Buzz is another dog that is about as perfect as they can be.
