I'm no expert on Tom's dogs, but I had a buddy that bought a lot of dogs from Tom in the early 90s. We ended up with a real exceptional female that was half his stuff. The common Coal Cat blood in our yard led me to examine the GR CH Spikey, CH Rebel Yell/Rooster type of dogs from Beach Boy Billy. I turned a friend of mine named Jethro that direction since he already had a splash of it, and he really became the premier breeder of that stuff. Anything from Tom's yard with the Hollingsworth blood blended will be the best of that stuff you can get in my judgment, but there isn't much of it left. The other stuff people have had OK luck with is the Lee Ling, but my buddy had a pair right off Frisco X Lee Ling and they were junk. I have another friend who had a Frisco x Yoko bitch that they have done very well with as a producer. I still don't think the Lee Ling is as good as the Hollingsworth blends. The percentages on the Chinaman/Hollingsworth blends; and the Coal Cat stuff in particular, is actually quite remarkable. Unfortunately, after Jethro was arrested most of those Pencil/Coal Cat dogs are gone. The plan was to cross the Pencil/Coal Cat blood to my Frisco/Coal Cat blood to focus on that extremely high percentage of match dogs that came down from Coal Cat, but real life got in the way such as Jethro getting busted, my partner dying, and it just didn't happen.Originally Posted by Kimo615
