((( SHARING HISTORICAL PHOTOS & PRESERVING HISTORY )))

[EGK]

Good deal

[EGK]

that`s really something EGK! AWESOME (NOW SAVED TO MY PHOTOBUCKET TY)

Glad I could contribute. I must say this is the beauty of being around the older guys. It really is something to learn bit of the history and heritage of the breed.

This one was from Ed Crenshaw. He needs know introduction.

This is from RL Mayo. I honestly have to ask about the history of this man. I'll ask but maybe some of you can help me out.

This is from Ed Ritcheson breeder of Dibo's mom Bambi.

It is.

I was fortunate enough to spend about 5 years with one of the true competitors in the sport (faced guys like Mayfield, Burton, Junior Bush, Crenshaw, Strothers, Hargrove, Tant, Indian Sonny, Miller, Rebel Kennels, Meador, etc.) ... and was behind such dogs as these: Gr Ch Dooley (8xW), Gr Ch Zinc (6xW), Gr Ch Robert T (9xW), Ch Robert T Jr. (4xW), Gr Ch Tornado (10xW), Gr Ch Junior (6xW) ... and faced such dogs as Gr Ch Luthor (5xW), Gr Ch Sampson (5xW, 5x BIS), Gr Ch Outlaw (7xW), Gr Ch Melonhead (14xW), etc.

The dude was a virtual treasure trove of core gamedog history, including the fact he personally saw the original Eli go, as well as BullySon and Eli Jr.

Lots and lots and lots of good info

I know there must've been some very interesting tidbits of knowledge and history pasted there. I have some private photos of a couple of Rebels dogs that still haven't hit the net. I've been trying to get more but in time I will. I think it'll cost me a road trip as I'm being taunted now about never going to make it out lol. I'll get there and get though. I'll have to look through your album. I know you have some nice memorabilia.

Thanks for sharing these great pics. I'm a fan of the J/RB/R line , and have a pup down from some of those dogs posted. Its cool to see the actual dogs that are in the pedigrees.

Do you know any of the breeding behind Dooley?

No, unfortunately. He doesn't know the pedigree of most of his dogs, including the bottomside of Robert T Jr.

I didn't know Zinc's pedigree until I saw it already up. Same with the original Robert T. It was already up on PedsOnline (the Old Man didn't know it).
