Me too Reuben. I read some articles from him and when searching for more stuff from him is how I accidentally found the gentleman that I got both of my McDuffie bred Leopard Curs from. Really great guy and friend.
I think you made a good choice...
Liefalwepon...they were told of one that had been seen...the hunter was known to have some of the best cat dogs around so he and two other guys went hunting for it and the got their cat the next morning...
The National Majestic column always has had a very short paragraph of the breed and right under that he will post a hunting article from way back...sometimes it can be about a good bear hunt or bobcat hunt etc...sometimes a coon hunt...I look forward to reading them...
The story teller wrote that from 1917 until 1949 that only twelve were taken that were documented...Five of the twelve taken were within a 35 mile radius Nogales...I assume Nogales is in the mountains somewhere close to northern Mexico...
