All bloodlines can produce a maverick type dog. Same with horses, Game Chickens, a animal that attacks the hand that feeds it. Got a well bred nice looking young male like that, from Mr. Joe Beal. Dog was a good solid 65 pound dog, around 20 months old. Looked very good in a roll, Mr. Beal was even taking this dog into his house around him and his wife before I got the dog.

After about two weeks of this big sucker trying to attack me when I fed it. Only when I fed it. Last time this dog almost got my whole hand. I calmly went into the house, got my 12 gauge and made worm bait out of that sucker. I told Mr. Beal that dog was to dangerous and may end up hurting or killing him or his wife. I later gave Mr. Beal his last main stud that he named Southern Johnny Reb. He was very pleased with Johnny Reb.

If you do some historical study on these dogs, will find where one of Mr. Colby's dogs sadly killed one of his baby grandchildren. The dogs that are mentioned to be territorial type dogs and will go on a person is the older Tudor line and that Henry line. Randy Fox's site may have that info about the older Tudor dogs. I have found from reading the older magazines that a lot of territorial type dogs seem to crop up in the heavy Dibo bred dogs.

Mayfield's Snake was named so, as like Zebo might like you one day and bite you the next. I tried to get V.J. not to use and breed so heavily off that Snake dog. I felt that one time was enough off my Tina bitch by my mistake. I actually sent her back to Don, to breed to Mayfield's Sunshine, which Don did do at a later date. I will say again, never breed a good bitch to a stud dog that is still being shown. Never know how it will all end. I felt Snake was a weirdo, crowd shy, fair weather hard biting cur like Pat Patrick said Snake was. The gaminess off that litter came from my little Tina bitch. The extremely hard mouth and a foul fighting style came from Snake's descendants. I figure, LOL.

My Face bitch was a heavy Eli/Mayfield bred dog. Was a Territorial type dog on her chain. Why I kept her chained inside of a strong roomy outer locked kennel. If you were a stranger and came on my yard, walked out to close to her without me being there. If not kept the way I did. You would be seriously dog bite and mauled. Yet when taken out of the pen on the leash showed no aggression to anyone or group of men. Unless one was stupid enough to rush at me acting like he was attacking me. Would seriously get dog bit.

So one has to determine if they have a maverick that bites the hand that feeds it or a Territorial type dog protecting their space from unknown people. Still a Territorial type dog needs to be kept extra secure to prevent any accidental human contact by adults, children, or strangers. To come home and find a child dead in your dog yard would truly be a American Horror Story.

Mr. Teal and Mr. Skinner told me that our breed of dog was bred for the show and go. They considered it a bad idea selling good dogs or culls to the general public. Only to sincere professional dog men. They felt it was best to cull your own dog yard from all undesirables as worms need to eat also. LOL Cheers
