That article dont scratch the surface of the whole deal with those dogs or whats been done all in the name of in my opinion $$$. After Howard's stroke, now ya got another feller or two taking over with pups to sale. Ton's of history there for those that have been around a while and know.
That article dont mention the breedings with Plott's which can explain the brindle or the July's which explains the flag tails and on and on.
There, I said enough, don't intend on saying anything else as it serves no purpose, but it is what it is in my opinion..
I really wish that I would have paid more attention to my grandpa and asked way more questions than what I did, so much of the history of the dogs we love is being lost by information not being passed on and so much of the breed is being destroyed by people breeding for pretty and $$$. Now I've said more than I intended but before I piss anybody off let me add that this is just MY opinion..
