Alice Texas and a leopard cur question

Hey Mike hows it going. When I read this thread a week or so ago it really made me think. I read all the different responses and it really got me interested. I do not mean to be disrespectful or demean any person who commented on this, it is not my intention at all. But I would like to share my thoughts and what I found.

So I saw the comment about Nimrod being a july/cat cross, and the more I thought about it the more it just did not make sense to me. The one thing most leopard cur guys know is how they are really natural tree dogs. I mean most real leopard curs have a lot of tree power, so much so that they have been snuck into other breeds to add it. Now whats one thing that both July's and Cats don't have on average.... Tree power, I know some will tree but on average they are not good tree dogs. Ones a running hound and ones a stock dog. And before anybody beats me up on that, I know one will from time to time but I am talking in generalizations. So these thoughts made me reach out to a couple of different men that knew Richard McDuffie really well and both hunted with him quite regularly and owned tons of dogs directly from him. They both told me the same exact story, and though these people know each other they live a few thousand miles away from each other and have no idea I asked the other one this question.

You prob know all of this already but they said he did go to see Cowboy Williams but Cowboy didn't have anything for sale but did take him and another Mexican fellow which they were using to translate down south to look at some dogs. That is when the story about him seeing those pups running to catch comes in. I believe this story not only because it comes directly from the horses mouth but also because it just makes the most sense to me. But hey who really knows.

I would love to see what else you find out, if you don't mind sharing.
