Actually, He was right.. It was RODNEY'S not Gainey's, but he was no brother to Yellow, he was of Vince Cooper breeding.However, from the HORSES MOUTH that owned Buck.. some history. He did say J.R. was a fine animal, a true finisher, in his opinion, Gr.Ch.John Boy was he best rbj dog ever. He said he was an Ace. But when he bred to Ch.Sassy.. NONE of them made the cut. He then bred to Buck , and all his pups off that breeding were 8-9 months old, He decided ,"Hell.. I aint in the breeding business, I gave Sassy back to Tant. Later when EVERY SINGLE dog out of the Buck-Sassy litter was a standout, I wanted her back. I did get her back after TAnt made the breedings that made AAA and others, but she was old. I repeated the breeding to Buck, but all the pups died .. Sassy's milk just wasnt any good anymore. " There you go fellas, a piece of history.
which bloodline/descendants are producing the best results these days?
That would make my belief wrong as well.
Actually, the one who was truly wrong was Barney Fife, as I merely quoted his own report verbatim.
I guess I am glad I asked the question to begin with! The reason I asked the question is I heard this statement made in a casual conversation, and I thought there would be more hooplah surrounding a brother to Yellow losing to Buck, and so made this post. I then came upon Barney Fife's submitted letter/report, and it is written plain as day that "JR lost to Buck," so it looks like Barney Fife is ultimately responsible for the misinformation.
So I retract my statements to Sonny as well ... looks like his information was, in fact, correct

So "Rodney's JR" was the dog's name, but he was not a brother to Yellow, as stated?
Good point Sonny.
What's funny is not only did Yellow have a brother named JR, he had a son named Rodney, so that is probably why Barney Fife thought the "Rodney's JR" Buck beat was Yellow's brother
Again, glad I asked this question, and thank you for researching it for us and setting me straight.

Now see , this is how dog men SHOULD debate ... Nothing wrong with being misinformed , it was talked out and researched and the truth rose to the top .... Great job by all party's.
Nice observations, Waccamaw and Rhino, and well said.
None of us can be right all the time, and some of us will have better resources for certain matters than others ...
It's how we handle it that marks the difference between a community ... and a cluster****
Cheers,
Jack
