Heinzl Blood

[CYJ]

Ditto BrickFace. I was familiar with the Heinzl line and He was very private for sure. V. Jackson and self had two Orbie Coplin bred bitches that were of heavy Heinzl bred dogs. Close up off Colby's Dime and Colby's Rifle blended with Dibo and Arizona Pete etc. If anyone has ever had a line of Heinzl dogs for any length of time. You could tell most of the time what they are by their looks, build type and type markings. One noted thing about Heinzl dogs was good breathing ability and ours had those nice rat tails that swung low.

I had a bitch off V. Jackson's Hank and my Tina bitch called CH Jackson's Coal Cat that was a clone look a like of Heinzl's Polly bitch. Orbie Coplin's Molly was a sibling sister to Heinzl's Polly. The Jackson's Hank dog had a lot of Heinzl breeding from Mayfield and Langham's Lightning I and II dogs along with Stockton's Liz bitch.

Mayfield in a article way back stated that the Eli Bush's Eli dog that Boudreaux later owned was off his Little Cotton dog bred to Evelyn Staurt's Cry Baby bitch. The Mayfield's Little Cotton dog carried a lot of Heinzl breeding. When C . Middleton started in breeding line breeding his dogs. Started getting white and white spotted up dogs instead of the usual black dogs or black and white dogs. Told him it may that good Heinzl/Feeley blood coming to the top. LOL

Eli Bush had some of the same bred Coplin-Heinzl dogs we had. Eli Bush also had some good Corvino bred dogs as well. Mr. Heinzl was very good friends with Orbie Coplin and Joe Beal from Greensborough N.C. Two other dog men that used the Heinzl and Coplin dogs was John Fonseca and Lewis.

Mr. Joe Beal went out West and spent some time with Mr. Heinzl and bred some of his Bitches to Heinzl's Bummy and Gringo. I got to read his letters and looked at all the pictures Joe had back then of his Trip. Was one of the high lights of his life to meet Mr. Heinzl in person. Good to Great dogs back then and today will more than likely have some Heinzl breeding somewhere in the pedigree line up.

ADBA did a great write up on Howard Heinzl and Mr. Coplin. Those who have all those older ADBA books have a lot of good history info. About a year ago talked with one of the secretaries that worked for the UKC Blood lines registry. Said at that time they still had copies of the 1940's and 1950's etc. blood lines magazines. Lots of good info there written by the likes of Heinzl, Tudor, Saddler,Corvino, Colby etc. Cheers
