From what I've read on him Ben never really had a breeding program, then again I could've read wrong, yea he did have several dogs that he really liked and bred them but nothing along the lines of breeding a family of dogs, his lifestyle wouldn't allow it, in one book there's a quote where he sends a young man into town to gather up some dogs, anything that looks like it will run something, I've read where he and the Lee brothers swapped a few dogs back and fourth between one another and that Steve Mathes, the man who developed the Mathes lion hounds first started with a gyp that came off a dog that Lilly hunted, I'm sure if a man wanted to look hard enough he could dig up some extremely distant relatives of his dogs in some of the old western big game hunters packs.
