Dough Belly Quiney (sp) lived around Milam county. From what I can gather, he was a bit of a dog trader, but dealt in quality dogs. Phil Lines got two dogs from him that were full brothers and were Hutto dogs. One of these dogs was the sire of Weatherford Ben's momma. He got a lot of dogs from around the Huntsville area and a good many of them were Woodruff and Hutto dogs. That's been a good while ago and it doesn't take long to make them something all together different. For what it's worth, all this is what I've been told and pieced together from several different people.

Did you or anyone else get a chance to hunt with any of the real dough belly bred dogs? My uncle got a couple from a man that dealt directly with Don Quiney. Said they were big stout brindle dogs built to run if a hog cut out you better keep up with them because those dough belly dogs were gonna go as far as they had to. Im trying to get in touch with someone that possibly kept that dough belly blood going.
