Was so many game scratches back and forth. I quit counting around the twenty or so mark. The dog pull lasted 3:09 min. with Carter's Blackie picked up dead game. Have not been able to get the breeding on the Thora dog. Will try to remember to ask, next time I chat with V.J.
Chris was one really likable young man and had dogs along with Earl Miller. Chris overtime was hard to win over and liked the Jocko/Red Boy crosses. Mr. Earl Miller was one of the first breeders to make the Chavis Jocko and Garret Red Boy crosses. All with good success.
Wish I had kept the p.m. A younger dog man of today, having just moved back in the State from Texas. Lives down the road from either Chris or Mr. Miller. Says he stops by time to time and talk dogs. Mr. Miller and Chris no longer are active dog men with no dogs. Cheers
