Rome1999, that is the female. Morris never got to do anything with the male. If you notice the Beal's Ida Red pedigree. This female went back to the older E. Crenshaws dogs and the red nose Lightner dogs etc. Mr. Ed Crenshaw later bred that Kinard's Sad Sack dog into his line. The Sad Sack dog was out of the same litter that Teal's Tip/Teal's Susie-que etc. dogs.

Amber's full sister Young's Flame was a clone look alike of the Ferguson's Centipede dog. There were some pups bred off the Flame female. Both females were rough hard scratching females. But both were high strung nut cases. Digging in their runs to China and barking at ghosts in the holes. I tried everything to keep their milk clean but was a loss cause for me. Morris's daughter who was a registered nurse was able to raise that one litter off Amber by hand raising them. She used a special milk from their veterinarian. Paul told me he would never go through that again. LOL

Mr. Beal also bred his Ida Red brood bitch to Zebo. Mr. Beal was good friends with Mr. Heinzl, went out to spend time with Mr. Heinzl. Each time he bred Ida Red to Heinzl's stud dogs. I did get to see Ida Red and his Zebo bitch off of Ida Red.

The sad part for me being a beginner dog man. Was not asking how that McCraw's Snowball dog came to be. Mr. Beal could have taken me to visit McCraw and Dean Plemmons. I had been told and read in those old Pete Spark's magazines. That Mr. Bob Hemphill had Tudor's Dibo on his yard for a season. Mr. Hemphill and Mr. Earl Tudor were good friends that had two things in common. The game dogs and game fowl.

I was honored that Mr. Beal's last main stud dog was off my yard. Mr. Beal named that young dog Southern Johnny Reb. We exchanged dogs at no cost to either. Out of the Carver/Creel dog (Young's Chuck) and his older line bred Ida Red stock, Young's Amber. Cheers
