That is easy to answer on Yellow John in the Dusty dog's pedigree. First in that Yellow John being tight in the Red Boy line and being a four-time winner. Made this dog desirable to continue breeding into the Chavis' Jocko line. Chavis did own this dog. S. McNeil may have handled all, or I believe at least one time the shows that Yellow John was in. Chavis was letting McNeil handle most of his shows till he pulled that crap on Apples vs Molly Bee. Molly Bee probably would have won anyhow. But what McNeil did to Apples did not help Apples at all. Apples was holding her own and may have made Molly Bee go a longer distance than Molly Bee had went before.

McNeil was high on the Yellow John dog and said the dog was a very good dog. Another reason along with a strong prey drive, Yellow John evidently had mouth to boot. I never saw Yellow John in a show. Going on common sense and what McNeil told me about Yellow John. McNeil was a excellent dog person and a excellent conditioner. V.J. and others helped him in the beginning of his time in the dogs. He knew a very good dog when he saw one. Sadly, the desire to make too much money the fast lane way. Sent him in a downward spiral and caused problems to other dog persons etc. Johnny Law had him in a big bind, which could have put his wife and young children in the street. Was many years ago, all is forgiven. Today he raises and hunts top of the line Walker Coon Hounds. I wish him the best. Cheers
