Now, people can call Yellow John a Redboy dog if they want, but that picture along with confirmation from the other individual, tells ME what I need to know. There are people alive that know how the dog is bred. Whether they will tell the truth or not is up to them.
As to why, Bass put the stiffler to Fletcher over some breeding, so Fletcher fought fire with fire, and the rest, as they say, is history.
I've never seen a Mims dog I liked, Redboy or otherwise. Hunter Red overpowered most of what he was bred to so badly that a lot of them turned out to be like him, it didn't matter if it was only 1/4 Hunter in there. I never saw any Britches type dogs, and wish I would've. I liked the Cottingham dogs I've seen for the most part.
