Nice bred dog.

The Ladybird dog had a brother that was the deal. I almost ended up with him when his owner was trying to move him. He was going to place him with me for safe keeping til he was in a better spot. Last minute a guy showed him the money. He sold Ladybird along the same time. I heard she turned out to be a game dog but not a lot of details. I see her pop up in a pedigree every so often. Bobby should have been matched but like the other post said, he was the goose and his owner was looking for the golden eggs. LOL

The one female I had was a loaner. I worked her and did her once. She was a game dog with excellent mouth. Her only drawback was she used that mouth on everything from barrels to rocks to just about anything. Ended her career a little soon.

I always heard the Cleo stories, some say off Bullet, some say off the Sorrells dogs. That is just part of what made Red Boy so perplexing. His mother was in question and his dad's parents were always in question. I always heard a lot of dogs were registered to Teal's Jeff.

All of that said, it was at least a day or two before my time. LOL. I was not there so my best guess/best option is to pick up where I started. The dogs from the Yellow John litter down, Britches and Mr. Bulldog down thru Spiffy, Jiggs and Punch.

My best friend's dad had a male out of the Yellow John litter. He called him JR. The dog would scratch no matter. He could not bust an egg but he was always coming. It was said he would scratch as long as one hair was still living.

Great series of posts.
