What I am going to add to this topic as Jack has already said. Will be mostly a moot point. Unless I over looked it I do not see any Red Devil breeding in the original papers of Red Boy. Bass's Cleo bitch shows a Red Devil bred dog in her pedigree called Loposay's Bouncer. But even some will argue or claim that Cleo is a Bullet bred bitch etc. I see also someone has changed Finley's Bo dog's pedigree to show him to be a Bullet bred dog. Just more moot points after 40 years or so has passed. No one knew how the Cotton's Bullet dog was 100% bred. Mr. Cotton puts some papers on him.
One of the stories told pertaining to the Red Boy dog and his siblings. Was that a man with a big Red Bull dog that was passing through, stopped at the Bowman's Restaurant. He saw some of Mr. Teals dogs back up on the Hill behind the Restaurant. He and Mr. Teal struck up a conversation and Mr. Teal ended up buying this dog. This was the dog that was suppose to have been bred to Mcleod's Susie Q. Gal instead of Teal's Jeff. Since Teal's Jeff was no longer living from what I had been told. I never saw Teal's Jeff and Mr. Teal may have had more dogs out on his Farm that I never saw. Since I never visited his Farm do not know. Rowell may know but he is very private.
The final part of the story was added when Mr. Teal was very sick and close to passing. A dog man that knew Mr. Teal had visited him at home or at the Hospital. Asked Mr. Teal again that million dollar question of how was the sire of Red Boy was bred. According to the dog man that is unknown to me. Said Mr. Teal said that the Stud dog was a Red Devil bred dog. Once again the most knowledgeable person pertaining to this subject may be Mr. Rowell or another fellow we knew named Turkey Gamun.
Turkey Gammun spent a good bit of time at Mr. Teals before I ever knew Mr. Teal. He had dogs from off Mr. Teal's yard. He worked for the Florence Morning News Paper in Florence. I probably have his last name spelled wrong. Turkey was his nick name. Now his story was that Mr. Teal picked up a stray run away(believe Tramp was brindle in color) Pit Bull off the City streets. He called him Tramp. Tramp turned out to be a good dog which I believe Mr. Teal matched and won with. Mr. Gammun says that is the Sire of the Red Boy litter and why Bass called Red Boy (Tramp Red Boy). So with so many stories it is all a moot point.
The Red Boy dogs start with Bass's Tramp Red Boy and Bass's Cleo. The Bullet dogs start with Bullet. It is what it is.
