It is funny because Red Boy has been everything from OFRN to Colby to Norrod to Corvino to some of everything in between.

And after all that they are still one of the, if not the most popular line out there. If a person ran an ad on here for pure Red Boy pups they would sell faster than anything on here that is based on winners and production.

I have tried a lot of the versions and the better all around "Red Boy" dogs are the ones when the families or strains are blended. Seen some good ones mixing the Mims version and the Holland version. Mr. Mims has several strains/traits amongst his Red Boy dogs. Many will say the Holland dogs are game plugs and then all of a sudden a stretch of straight Holland Red Boy dogs biting shit in half. The fact Mr. Holland bought dogs from VJ has never been documented in a registry but go figure.

When TVK made the blend of Eli and Red Boy they were scratching like Red Boy dogs and biting like Eli dogs, to use the myths surrounding both groups. Some say these Russ' Buck bred dogs led to the Dynomite dogs doing work today.

The blend to the Jocko dogs when I first got started was one of the more long lasting. Back then they were Jocko-Red Boy dogs. The Red Boy popularity somehow changed all that. That group became rough and durable like Jocko but all the hairs on the body had to be killed to stop them.

And after all the speculation and 'inside knowledge' (LOL) it all boils down to the dog you are standing on top of today. Pretty much the same as it was way back when.
