I saw the BBB/Reuben bred male in like 91 or 92 while stationed in southern California. I didn't make the call til at least late 93 when I was discharged. I started back in dogs late 93. I made the call because it was a lot of the Chinaman stuff around the NC area, as well as the Snooty and Miss Pool Hall Red. The Reuben stuff would have been a nice add to these dogs. Distance was an issue. But like I said it was a long time ago. What was living and not living by 95 is way beyond me. I liked the male I saw and was told it was the Reuben blood that was making him. I was a young guy who was 3000 miles from home and invited to a show. I could not name anyone there other than the Mike B., the guy I was in the service with. I was going off what I was told by people I did not know. Turns out the Reuben daughter/granddaughter was nothing more than an inquiry. It would have been around 94 or so, maybe as late as 95 but that is like a hundred years ago when trying to remember when a phone call was made when nothing ever developed from the call. Knowing I had that one conversation with Bobby S. way back when is what made the original post so interesting. The facts and how things turned out doesn't/didn't much matter as it was the history of the post that made it a worthwhile read for me. EWO
