Redboy's sire or Redboy himself?

The Hank dog carried the Zeke dog in the pedigree. Mr. Young says he looked like them dogs. So when the Jocko-Red Boy dogs met the Hollingsworth-Bolio type dogs it wa snot all much that of another out cross as there were some lining of families again.
Again, for the tell tale sign is dogs that throw dogs that throw dogs that keep throwing dogs.
The next sign is when the RBJ dogs are crossed they do well for a generation or two, but then those dogs do not typically stand alone. They have to be bred back toward the RBJ or the out dog to get that train going again.
I also would add Red Boy was bred to Bullet dogs and those dogs were hit and miss, and it was the start of Red Boy dogs "not being stand alone dogs" and the tales of 'Red Boy dogs can't bite'. For me, that means there was the Red Boy litter and then the "RED BOY LITTER", both papered off Jeff. That would mean Red Boy absorbs everything from the Krebs side of the story as well as everything bred from the Teal/Jeff pedigree.
That is why the Red Boy dogs are all over the place when they are bred pure (paper pure).
But again, all conjecture.

I would like to add again of all those dogs. I liked the Happy dog the best. Happy was around 45 pounds on the chain. Happy was rough like the Big Mac dog and had mouth. Was a nice looking dog.
Happy got loose from his chain and got on a next door neighbor's dog. The lady and children were screaming and praying for all it was worth.
Mr. Mc' Dougal had no break stick and hit the Happy dog behind the head with a piece of two by four or something. Too knock the dog out. Which it did, but caused permanent damage. Happy was blind in both eyes.
Later on at Woody Truett's place. Many years ago in the wild west. The Happy dog was showed on one of W.T.'s dogs. V.J.' Hank was showed on a big staff/Pit dog that Woody owned. This was when the Hank dog turned on and was a killing puller from then on.
R. E. Bass was there that day. Happy was blind and made a excellent show of deep gaminess. Even Bass was impressed but said hell may be even worse for pulling a blind dog like that.
I had planned to breed my Young's Tina bitch to Happy. But before Tina came back in heat, Happy had finally died from that head injury. Was a very good dog. P.S. Woody Truett was another dog man in the game back then. He was one of the first in my area to buy Carver dogs from Mr. Maurice Carver. He was not kin to Wesley Truett. Cheers
