About Dale Brummett

"Until One Has Loved An Animal, Part of Their Soul Remains Unawakened." - Anatole France

Dale Brummett was raised on an 80 acre farm near West Lafayette, Indiana.

He has been working with dogs and farm animals for over 48 years.  

Dale began training and hunting his father's coondogs in hundreds of acres west of the Wabash river near Black Rock.  

"Black Rock" (massive black rock formation) comes from one of the highest points in western Tippecanoe county  in northwest Indiana.  The peak  named "Black Rock" over looks the scenic view of the Wabash river. Dale lived nearby and has hunted the hills near Black Rock and treasures it as some of the finest hunting in the midwest. Black Rock represents to us a safe haven and a solid foundation to build on. Along the Wabash River - Black Rock.Warren County - Black Rock The 475 mile long Wabash River (Wabash River: A tributary of the Ohio River that rises in western Ohio and flows southwestward across Indiana) bisects the state from northeast to southwest and has given Indiana two themesongs, the state song On the Banks of the Wabash as well as The Wabash Cannonball.

I have always been partial to the color "black" since our first Lab was black and black labs look great going in & coming out of the water.

My Labrador Retrievers are trained in the field for hunting, basic obedience, AKC hunt tests & LRC Inc.working certificates.

Here is a photo of our first crew at Black Rock in 1994.

Do you know where you will spend Eternity?

Has anyone cared enough to share with you how simple it is to go to Heaven when this life is over?

Well here is the GOOD NEWS!

Jesus Christ the Son of God loves us so much that He died on a cross, was buried, and came back to life to pay the penalty for our past, present and future sins. The reason Jesus did this is so that we can live forever in Heaven, a place where there is no more death, sorrow, sickness and pain, just total love.

In the Bible Jesus said, "I am the door, if anyone enters by me, they WILL BE SAVED..." (John 10:9) Even nice people still need to receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour. This passage in the Bible says, "ALL PEOPLE HAVE SINNED, and come short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23).

Jesus also says in (Mark 1:15), "Repent and believe the good news!"  The death of Jesus Christ on the cross is the payment for our sins, the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the grave is our receipt. That's the GOOD NEWS! All we have to do is believe the good news and repent. This repentance is a change of mind that agrees with God that one is a sinner, and also agrees with what Jesus did for us on the cross.  The Bible speaks of only two places eternally and that is Heaven and Hell. Do you want to spend eternity in a place of total love instead of being forever separated from the love and mercy of God in eternal torment in Hell?

If so, just now, wherever you are, repenting, lift your heart to God and pray this prayer:

Dear Jesus Christ, I come to you the best way I know how.  I believe that you are the Son of God and that You love me and want to save me. I know that I am a sinner and I ask for your forgiveness.  I believe that You suffered and took the punishment for my sins and that You shed Your precious and sinless blood for me by Your death on the cross.  I also believe that You arose from the grave and that You did all this to give me eternal life in Heaven.  I now receive You into my heart and life as my Lord and Saviour.  Lord Jesus Christ, I thank You for  forgiving me and for saving me through Your merciful grace.  Amen

If you said and meant the prayer you're now and forever saved and on your way to Heaven. Welcome to the family of God. Salvation is not a reward but a gift. The Bible says it this way, "For it is by GRACE you have been SAVED, through faith and this not from yourselves, it is the GIFT of God." (Ephesians 2:8)

A good place to start reading the Bible would be the book of John.  Now that you are saved you should be baptized. Please don't wait to tell a loved one about God's simple plan of salvation, this might be the last chance.
