I saw this trait a lot in the Fontenot/ Maloney/Mayfield dogs. One being Maloney's Davis. Also dogs that carried any of the later brindle darker colored Lightner dogs and some of the red nose Lightner strain of dogs.

Another color trait that popped up with a lot of those stiff Bat eared dogs. Was a red Nose and chocolate color or a red nose and dark brandy wine red color. Very attractive looking dogs. The rest with the long lappy ears coming all black, white/black/brindle colors. Not so in all cases. Just the way they came on my yard.

Carver's Black Widow had the long lappy bat ears. Dogs bred around the Carver's Black Widow stock had those lappy or straight stiff bat ears. My J. Young's Sally was a buckskin/white markings with the stiff up right bat ears. My J. Young's Red Lady had the Bat ears and was red nose and dark red brandy wine color. These bitches carried the Mayfield Sunshine or Fontenot-Maloney dogs in their breeding.

Most of these type looking dogs especially the bitches. With this trait usually are good game dogs and made good brood dogs. Cheers

Bently this little story will probably have nothing to do with your long eared bitch. Dog man by the last name of Williams was one of the dog men that ran with Mr. Burns/Mr. Bo Harris/ Watkins/Eric Winingham/Tant/Crews etc.

When Scotty McNeil quit the dog game he sold his Carver-Creel Chuck dog to Williams. When Williams decided to quit the dog game. I bought the McNeil's Chuck dog from him. I was the last owner of Carver-Creel- Ed Crenshaw bred Chuck dog.

Scotty Todd had found one of the last tight Lightner dogs that was in N.C. This bitche's name was Mousy. Mousy was a very nice looking little tan or brindle bitch with those long lappy ears. Not 100% sure of the dog's color anymore but was one or the other. Tar Heel Matt had some of the last of that blood and one or both of his dogs were real old. This little bitch Scotty Todd had may have been off some of the last breeding's off of Tar Heel Matt''s Lightner dogs.

Now here is the interesting part. Scotty bred Mousy to the Chuck dog and she had a litter of pups. The only one I saw later on was a really nice looking buckskin bitch with the long bat ears. Eric/Bo/Watkins and Burns were working her for a match. These older dog men like to nip on the bottle all during the day. They were out late in those swamps, road working this bitch. On the way in they stopped at a cross roads country store, went inside to get some refreshments. Meanwhile the bitch dog was not in a kennel but loosely chained in the back of the truck. The bitch had jumped off the truck and got under the back wheel. Not checking on the dog, they drove off, back over this bitch and killed her.

Later after I bought Chuck I went back down there to see if I could buy one of the other dogs off that breeding. Eric said his brother had the rest of those dogs and one being a good acting male. None were for sale.

None of those fellows would let me see those dogs and never knew what became of them. It was hush, hush, top secret for all of them. LOL I can not prove it one way or the other. But I find it hard to believe they did not bred some of that stock back into their dogs. Would have been crazy not to. LOL

P.S. Williams did not buy McNeil's Chuck just to look at him. He was bred a good bit down in that part of the country. For what ever reasons no breeding's off Chuck are shown in their dogs. Cheers

A.B. Forsythe the man who also owned the famous Mayfield's Nigger dog and got Nigger directly from Earl Tudor. He had a dog Called Dusky. His ears stood up real direct and were around 8 inches long. He looked real funny. Those long ears made me think of deer antlers everytime I saw him. They weren't just long they were as wide as your hand. He never sired a pup that I ever saw that had those long tall bat ears or any size bat ears. I wish I had a photo to show you guys. He really looked strange.

Ditto Foxman. I always believed there was a lot more of the Forsythe and De Cordova dogs bred up in those Maloney dogs and some of those other dog men's yard than was let on. I also believe there is some Orbie Coplin blood way back there in those early bred Patrick dogs and some Creel-Carver breeding in some of those older bred Charleston S.C. swamp dogs. One of the best breeding's that Crews and Burns made was when they crossed their dogs with some of the Plumber's Alligator blood line through the Hammonds/Kreshner dogs.

Just my thoughts on older day happenings. No way to prove anything one way or the other and does not matter anymore. Why the parents and grand parents of any dog still are the best guide to go by. Twelve or fourteen generations down the road who knows what was bred to what. LOL Cheers
