It is not always the ingredients that define a dish... it is the chef that knows how to manipulate those ingredients

Partin dogs were the result of controlled line breeding, best type to best type to best type for many, many years. Old Bud Partin and I talked about it for a lil' bit at a horse sale one time. He said the Partin family was big enough, that when one of the family needed a good dog, they just went to a family member's ranch and bred best to best... over the years, the "type" of dog just "set".
The Partin blood is a very strong characteristic in most Florida Curs... very easy to recognize
