What dogman had the biggest impact on the game as a breeder?

[swampdawg]

The Lightner strain that Mr. Eagan Skinner had bred up was off some of the brindle Bill Lightner dogs blended to some of Edward's/Plemmon's Red Nose Lightner dogs. This cross came Fawn buckskin with black mask, light and dark brindle and some red nose ones as well. When crossed to the Cotton's Bullet dog that pretty well set the strain of dogs he was going to use.
Mostly came in dark and light brindles and Fawn. Had those lappy Lightner ears. Very good acting dogs in the lower 45 to 30 pound weight class.

Thanks for the info. CYJ,most people today have never heard of MrSkinner.I grew up hearing about him and his dogs but never got the chance to meet him.
