Who is Hughes and Holcomb?

[CYJ]

Frank43, The Holcomb person that is in your pedigree was D. Holcomb. I knew him as well. He was good friends with V. Jackson/Powell and S. McNeil. I believe D. Holcomb had also some of the Jim Williams' Paladin dogs. D. Holcomb was quite the character and could keep you laughing. Yet at show time he was dead serious. Always showed a excellent dog and in top shape. V. J was one along with others, that helped him with how to condition/feed etc.

There is a notable dog man R. or D. Carter up in N.C. that shows in the pedigree of F. Jacob's Assassin I dogs. Carter also had years back dogs off the Cotton's Bullet line. D. Holcomb and R. Carter had a show were both dogs went around three hours or so and scratched about thirty-six or more times apiece. For as I know D. Holcomb lived in S.C. Do not know if he ever moved to Florida. Hope some of this old, dog history helps.

P.S. EWO, if you read this, I know you know of this dog man Carter. His son faced booked me some few years back. At that time, he was still living. I called him Ray. Some of the pedigrees on his dogs of old yore show D. Carter as breeder. Unless there two Carters also. Which I doubt as he and F. Jacobs were good friends and had similar are same bred dogs. He may have worked some of Franks dogs. Cheers
