Thank You all. When I quit the dog game. I totally 100% quit and walked away from it for close to 40 years. When I got more curious about the power of finding information on the internet. I started wondering what had become of some of my friends in the dog game. Sadly I waited way to long and some have already passed on. I entered one of my dog's names Young's Jake. His name popped up on the on lines pedigree site and Bully Pedia site.

I saw were V. Jackson had been busy over those years and Katie Marlowe extra,extra busy. LOL So gave V.J. a call, we have talked a couple of times in the last year or so. If I could have seen into the future that I would have been a member of this great dog and pedigree site.

I would have kept all my dog magazines that was published by all the known publishers up to into the late 90's. I also had all of those very nice bound Pete Sparks books. With good info. on the Carver dogs/E. Crenshaw and many other dog men of that era. I had every book back then in magazine form and hard bound books that could be bought.

Mr. Joe Beal gave me all his collected magazines over his years that had a lot of the older Blood lines magazines. I made copies of those and gave the originals back to him. When I left the dog game. I sold all my books etc., to a young dog man by the name of Denis Jones. Later after Vernon had lost the Tango and Cash dogs and their siblings except the Harley dog. The only last living male besides the Harley dog was one I had given Denis. I liked Denis and let him have that young dog.

Vernon later came back up from Texas, to visit with me and to go see Denis. Was going to try and buy that last living male. Denis would not sell his dog but did sell all those books, magazines etc., to Vernon.

One of those books a red bound issue of the 60's through the 70's. Covered a lot of the main Carver dogs with pictures and special event stories. Vernon loaned it out to a local dog person in Texas. That person told V.J. it had got stolen and was never recovered. Vernon's health is bad now, his family has no interest what so ever in Game dogs. So a lot of good sound written history of our breed probably will be lost. Cheers
