Bass' Tramp Red Boy (Wendell Martin's)

[CYJ]

Ditto EWO,so true. Hope this is not being redundant. When V. Jackson and wife visited with me last summer. I asked him about the Bailey dogs. I did not know or ever met Bailey or Holland. V.J. told me that Bailey bought dogs from him and crossed them with his Red Boy strain of dogs. Had gotten some good results with those crosses.

V.Jackson years back sold three pairs of a male and female breeding's to Holland. Was off three different breeding's. V.J. and wife personally delivered all these young dogs to Holland. Later on nothing much was heard one way or the other how things turned out, according to what V.J. told me.

V.J. later asked Bailey who did not live far from V.J. what he thought happened to those pups he sold and took to Holland. Bailey and Holland from looking at their pedigrees used dogs back and forth. Appeared to be good friends with one another.

Bailey laughed and told V.J. that if any panned out. Holland might have put some Red Boy papers on them and was the end of all that. LOL A lot of Holland's Red Boy dogs looked real stout. I am sure some inbred Red Boy dogs had mouth. But over all they were not known for a hard mouth. Was not till they started crossing up the Red Boy dogs to Carver/Snooty//Jocko/Paladin/Jeep/Bullet II dogs that mouth and wrestling ability greatly improved. IMHO

Very true. I met a guy who bought two from Mr. Holland. The papers showed incredibly in bred Red Boy dogs. The female fit the bill. She was slender and spindly looking, dumb as a stump, but would scratch into an oncoming train.

The male on the other hand was a stout well built dog with really good bone and a hide that was more in tune of a buffalo hide. It took some doing to knock a hole in that coat. He had teeth that looked like 20 penny nails as used them like a Husqvarna. He shook violently as well.

I had a Mims female bred to him and the female I ended up with was the same. We joked we had a Red/Red nose Jackson dog. She was the same as her pure Red Boy sire. She almost looked male like.

It was fun to talk about. End of the day she was a pretty good dog. She won once. When she went back home she was bred to one of my males, had some puppies and then got off the chain. Nipped a good story right in the bud.
