A little shot of the old time July would help most lines of curs these days. I have found one in La. and am thinking about trying some crosses. All lines of curs have all kinds of stuff put in them over the years. The old new and improved trick. The only thing, some people are honest about it and some are not. Ray Charles could look at some of the registered Dogs these days and see it.
I respect your opinion on Cur dogs and we have allot of the same views on whats makes a top notch Cur dog. So it promts me to ask. What would you be looking to add with a cross like that. A chade more bottom maybe? or Cold trailing? And don't you think it would water down the stock working abilities?
Waylon,
Bob and I been running together for 45 or 50 years now. Married his sister 42 years ago. I have never seen him breed his ETBMC dogs to nothing but an ETBMC cur dog in all these years. I would have to see that before I’d believe he’d actually do it.
But like he told ya, if he dose breed one just to test it out, he’ll tell the straight up facts about it. That is going to have to PROVE to be some kind of special dog before he tries that.. But no way can I ever see him getting away from Stock dogs, that is what he is and who he is. It’s too important to him they maintain those traits and that ability. The July dog he is speaking of belongs to a friend of ours who is a good dog man and always been a straight up feller. The dog is the old style July dog bred straight and tight from dogs from many years back. This friend is blow away by this July dog. If half the stories are true the dog has to show up in a super man cape. lol
We hunted some July x BMC pups for Howard Carnathan one time when he was experimenting. (But the world aint suppose to know he did that.. lol )Those particular dogs were totally useless for much of anything.
I just wish everyone could have lived down here and grew up being around Mr. Tom.. He could read your mind and tell you exactly what you wanted to hear, still dose in written form with many... That man could sell a eksimo a ice box... and it goes on and on even with him gone... Lordy if some of started telling stories no one would believe it.. lol Hey Bob, tell em about the time you trained the first Dingo he imported... hahahahah
