Yes, he will go for days after a piece of cotton rope. The rope is his 'life mission'.

Yes, this is a wood slat mill I built. A guy posted one and I figured i would give one a try as well. It turns rather nicely for what I like. It is not as free turning as some of those million dollar mills but it is not a hard driver like some I have seen. Somewhere in the middle.

Yes as well as crossing some of the Mims dogs to that Carver/Boudreaux/Bolio stuff. We did it a couple of times with Patrick's Kasai and a really high percentage of those dogs went to the show. The dog above's top side was a Spiffy/Lucky female bred to a Kronos/Frisco bred male from Garner.

The owner of Damien hated Red Boy dogs and you simply could not give him one. Then he saw CH Charlie (4XW) go and he and the owner of Charlie did some horse trading on breedings. Damien was a dog that had seen the other side and lived on a yard that at two years old the dog had seen more time than most CH's. It was not a easy place for a young dog. Pretty much if they leaned forward at another dog and the chain go tight, that meant the dog was ready. Tons of what would have been good dogs buried over there.

The Doorstop litter was an all-show litter with the exception of Doorstop. He knocked his teeth out early from bad habits. The other 6 won matches. (A different topic altogether, but the repeat breeding had 7 as well with two pretty good dogs, a couple game plugs and the rest did not work out).

The bottom half is off a dog called Skull. A Mims/Boudreaux/Frisco type dog that won 4 and went well over two hours twice.

Hatchet comes around by crossing the Mims Spiffy Lucky females to the Boudreaux/Carver type dogs then doing a half brother sister off Mims Bonnie which is Jiggs-Lucky.

Basically Spiffy/Lucky to an out and back together via Bonnie (Jiggs/Lucky) as Lucky was one of Carl's best ever producing bitches. Most talk about the stud dog/male dogs and a lot of times it is the females that keep things glued together.

Babbling on a bit. Off to the work site in a few. Will check back later.
