That is pretty well how it was. Trying to argue over what Mayfield said. To what Boudreaux said to him over the phone 40 years ago. Even if taped, which is not even allowed in a court of law unless a Judge allows the line to be taped. Is akin to grabbing a cur dog by it's ear and swinging it around. A whole bunch of whining but that is all it is. LOL

If that breeding was that important to Don. He had Cry Baby for at least one more year and owned the stud dog also. Why did he not repeat the breeding? How do we not know if he did not and some of those black dogs he had might be Eli's siblings.( How is that for getting a rumor started forty years later.) LOL Hey Don what is with all those Black dog's Don? Are they off Spooky or Cry Baby LOL.

What I do know is the Mayfield dogs back then crossed real well with the Clayton/Hathaway dogs. One being my Young's Face bitch and M. Gainey's Eight Ball dog,sibling brother to Face. Like to have a yard full just like them two.

Project has called me a few times. Not much to really talk about since I am not a active dog man and he appears not to be as well. He seems to pretty well be a single and free agent type person. Wishes to check out those last Mayfield dogs he has, might could move over to a oriental country or ole Mexico and get it on.

I would listen to Don talking on those tapes. I had of his and the You tube ones. Of how anything that came off Tudor's yard was some Extra Pure blooded dogs. Pure this and Pure that. Mr. Heinzl wrote a article about that one time. Like he said everybody who ever got into the dog game had to get their first dogs from somebody else. Those older dog men got theirs from some else and so on and so on. LOL

If we search our ancestors far enough we all came from Adam and Eve. LOL For those who think the far, far away Aliens made your family from cross breeding to monkeys. So be it and more power to you. My opinion on that is some of my ancestor's did hang from a tree. But it was from a Rope not by their tails. Cheers
