Tony.....that is good to hear about a second book. I have also used to trace my dogs back to the 50's using Lloyd's book but there are some gaps here and there. I to have wondered about the bigboy talked about in the book and wether or not it was the same one I heard about here on the net being a big foundation BMC dog. I talked to BigO about it before and we came to the same limited conclusion then as metioned previously in this thread.................the dates do not match up. Maybe with more heads in the game we can figure somthing else out.
Someone asked for some photos so Ill post up what I have.....
I've hunted some with Mr. Lloyd Perry but mostly with his late brother Hershel Perry and his sons and grandsons.
Some pictures of Perry dogs and Hunts with the Perry family
Current dogs I hunt
Newt My new 8 month old pup from the Perrys. AND the brindle is Parris an 8 year old Gyp I raised, tight bred by my dad out of Perry stock.
Monk....Litermate to Paris
Lana another littermate to Paris I raised but sold to Harry on the boards here...he goes by hogbusters I think.
Rattle...Sire to above dogs. Bred by the Late Hershel Perry owned by my Dad. Out of Loretta (a Dixie daughter) and Flip a dog of Harry Kenney's. 14 or 15 years old still hunted occasionally seen more hogs than most hog hunters. I've hunted with this dog since I was 10 years old.
Here is a picture from a hunt on the Newton Ranch about 20 years ago with Hershel Perry, Hershel Perry Jr., and R. P. Wagner (the man who introduced my dad to the Perry's) I'm the kid with the single shot 22. If you look the black dogs are in the background in the truck.
Jake....bred by Hershel Perry owned by his grandson. Out of Lorretta and by the dog CB. Sire to my new pup. This dog just recently passed away.
Some more dogs bred by Hershel that were owned by his son in law.
