Regarding pedigree, Bauman and Weatherford were the names asociated with Weatherford's Ben; Rathke used that background and hunted and inbred the dogs to produce a good line; Red Burkhart's contribution was likely a gyp named VK that was from V K Sowell from Refugio or a dog that was a pup from VK; John Gay's dogs were from a similar source as Bauman, southeast Oklahoma breeding from Ben Jordan and others.
