Ditto S_B. I saw and met Jack Kelley in a passing moment. When he came down to Mr. Teal's place. Never knew him personally or had any in depth talks with him. Kelley's story on Red Boy is not 100% correct. Mr. Bass and Bass' Tramp Red Boy was no big mystery to any of us in that time era. Bass' Red Boy/later Katie's Red Boy, who bred Red Boy the most. Along with V. Jackson's Hank and William Kelley's Willie were the most prominent stud dogs in the S.C. Pee Dee area.

Sadly, The Hank dog and Willie dog did not get bred enough. Hank dog dying around four years old and Willie had to be artificially bred. Bass' Tramp Red Boy ( originally AKA Martin's) lived to a ripe old age for dogs. If I remember correctly around 16 years old. Died on Katie's yard. Cheers
