In my younger days got to spend some good quality time with Mr. Burns and the rest of the Charleston dog men. I have been to some strange places in those swamps. Was very glad Mr. Burns/Tant/Braddock/Bo Harris knew the way back out. LOL

Mr. Burns was up in age when he got into some good dogs with the Jocko/Red boy/ Yellow John dogs. Mr. Burns was fun to be around and kept you laughing. He and R. Braddock were always back and forth at each other but were fast friends. LOL Mr. Burns liked the Game Chickens also. Very nice looking dogs, sure they can get er done. Cheers

i never had a chance to meet him. i was going to buy some dogs off of big head years ago, kind of glad i didnt. these stumpy bred hounds are alot better than i expected. i run hounds from the deacon and purchase these hounds to get me through til my pups out of the deacon stuff were of age but im really loving these burns dogs. they dont have mike tyson behind them but they are roy jones. im not a big jeep fan but this rawhide/cottingham cross worked real good with it. im about ready to throw my eggs in that basket

I got to see Jocko and Argo perform. Jocko got bred a lot more but I really liked the Argo dog. Argo was a very well built dog and a beautiful red color with black nose and black eyes.

Argo was a favorite along with Jocko, with Scotty McNeil. Scotty saw Argo's last match which was a very hard pulling dog show. Both dogs looked so much a like was hard to tell who was doing who.

This was just Scotty's opinion since I was not there to judge for myself. He told me he felt the old warrior was not brought in at his best condition. Was another gambling sacrifice similar to what happen to Ozzie's Homer dog. Still both dogs were great dogs and went the distance. One had to lose and one to win. Thrift's Bumper was a great pit dog in it's own right. Cheers

I agree Johnny...I thought Argo was a much better dog...but Bumper was too much that day. I wish those dogs had been bred to some other lines...I know it clicked with Red Boy but I certainly would have loved to get bred to some of my old stock....I should have bred to that Joker dog at Sonny's If I could do it all again...

If you going in that direction. Look at the Woodal's Weird Jack dog or a good male off him. Some very well made up dogs like you already have. If they are good game dogs.

I am not in the know about all these newer blood lines. But to be a good performer they need to be built to perform. Need deep lungs, strong back end and a strong neck. One can try to be game, but when muscle exhaustion and muscle weakness sets in. May not be long before the Fat Lady sings. LOL Cheers
