Just one more point . . I am not FOR or AGAINST Ben bred dogs.  I am probably like most folks, I just like a GOOD dog, no matter what the breeding.  We owned 7 or 8 FBMCBO reg. Ben bred dogs.  Most of them did not turn out, a couple of them did and we like those dogs and they can continue to eat our feed.  We hunted the Clyde dog of Robert Benson's for about a year.  Most people would call him a Ben bred dog.  He was rolling out over 2 miles and finding, stopping and baying hogs at 9 yrs old with no teeth.  I think he would be a good dog by anyone's definition.  He also would work cows real well.  So there is just one  example of a good Ben dog amongst the 1000's of junkie ones.  Just a reminder to all the future Weathorford's Ben owners.  Don't buy into the percentages, buy into the MAN that hunts them, culls them, and buys their feed.  If you call someone with some BEN pups for sale and all they can tell you is . . "these pups are 67.5% this and 35.4% that" . . then I would immediatley hang up the phone.  Hell . . you're not buying a calculator, you're buying a dog.
