Like your bulldogs Crib, my dad use to raise them and catch with them, and he used Hines stuff. We would go to Mr. Hines when I was just a little boy and get dogs from him. He crossed them with a big mountain curr for some really ruff grain field dogs.
Thats cool,
Scarlet's Grandpa is Hobo. Her sire Petey (RIP) is where my Pete gets his name and looks. He ran the Texas Valley hunts and would catch in the heat. He was a good sized dog that could move and had great wind. He was 89 lbs skin and bone. Scott P helped me put him on a hog when I got him. I ended up placing him with Mike Margentina (Owner of Sgt Rock) when I had Scarlet coming in.
You have any pics of your dads dogs? Feel free to post em.
