Weatherford’s Ben made his living catching bad cattle, fact. He was a dead catch dog on hogs, and the best I ever legged a hog behind myself, many other say the same, cold nose, he could and did turn cattle and hog tracks 16 plus hours old, heavy distance winder, wide deep hunt, extremely intense working dog, if a cow ran off she wore him as fast as he got there. Heavy windmill, extreme hard fast windmill, on ranker cattle he would quarterback. Extremely impressive conformation amazing speed, cat quickness and agility, heart, drive, desire, bottom , natural ability in every way, 65 pound light fawn yellow, wide, deep chest, long body and leg, good arch in his back, tight high flank.
I went and read up on Wrights website for yellowBlackMouthCurs and saw that it is claimed that Ben took a 16 hour old track and caught the hog!!
It seems to me that Donald Cain wrote that descriptionon of the Ben dog. Donald used to write a column in the Full Cry magazine and he was a promoter of the FBMC and if I am not mistaken he was one of the creators of the FBMC association. He featured a dog every month in his column as well as breeder of the FBMC.
The description you just wrote is exactly his style of writing. I am willing to bet he wrote that...He was super high on the Ben dog.
I don't remember ever reading about his sire and dam. I believe that a great bloodline is formed around a great dog that comes from great dogs.
