Dean Plemmon had some of the Hemphill blood along with another dog man Paul Wallace in Cheraw S.C. Mr. Plemmon and Mr. Egan Skinner had bred up some of Plemmon's OFRN crossed to some of Mr. Skinner's Bullet x Brindle Lightner dogs. This young crop of dogs Mr. Skinner had were lost in a Flash Flood when he lived in N.C.
Paul Wallace had some of the straight OFRN direct from Hemphill and was good friends with Mr. Teal, Mr. Plemmon and Mr. Skinner. He was doing real good in the dog game. While he was out in Mississippi with Mr. Teal at a dog show. He got news that his wife and child had been killed in a bad car accident.
Mr. Wallace came back home and due to this emotional tragedy, got rid of his dogs and quit the dog game. When my Father was active in the dog game he and Mr. Paul Wallace were good friends. We ran into Mr. Wallace about ten years back at a restaurant in Florence S.C. He was in good spirits but did not mentioned or asked anything about the dogs.
Some of the last original Red Nose OFRN dogs I saw personally. Was owned by my next door deceased neighbor Heyward Stokes. He had rabbit and Deer hounds along with the Pit Bulls. When I was a young boy the Pee Dee area was a hot bed for all forms of dog sports. Mr. Truett was a active young dog man way back then when I was in my Teens.
I might add also that not all of Mr. Hemphill's OFRN dogs came with a red/red nose. Some came various buckskin colors with black noses etc. Tudor's Dibo maybe under the name of Tudor's Runt had been bred into some of his Red/Red Nose stock back then. Cheers
