Mr. Mims may be the last link to whatever the most correct version is out there.

I'm not sure he would sit down with pen and paper, if he would it would be historical. Two sentences about Red Boy would turn into South Carolina pulp wood before you could take pen to paper.

I was always told the version from Mr. Mims. HC had dogs straight off Red Boy, Bass bred and then Marlowe bred. I was like 10 years old and we walked dogs for HC. (me and his son, different times, different eras).

HC had some of the early Bullet dogs and they were a large part of his yard. The Red Boy dogs off Cleo could bite, even Cat. Red Boy dogs off a lot of other bitches did not show a lot of mouth. He is where I always heard the saying, "The Red Boy dogs are no more game than any other dog, but they can breathe underwater".

Always a great topic.
