We agree with Jack. Selection. But if you look closely at the foundation dogs of each line, they all come from the breedings of Fletcher Chavis. So, really, your questions should be related to why Mr. Chavis was doing the breedings he was doing and what those gentlemen (Tant, HOE, Wacc) saw in those dogs to want to use them.

We would always pick the Waccamaw branch of the Redboy/Jocko family tree. Mainly, because they have been so selective over the years and ONLY breed quality individuals from their program. Christ, I remember when Waccamaw didn't offer dogs to anyone.
