I'm pretty sure it was Curd Brown.
The guy I know name is Curd Walker he has raised some fine dogs!!! That pup looks like the ones he was selling at Uncle Earls!! If so they are the same bloodline as my two strikedogs Hoss and Hank!! They trace their bloodline back to a gyp named Bell who has passed on....a finer dog never hunted IMO!!!
Yeah I got his name wrong. Thanks for the info.
