and james davis blood is hard to come by now, but all the research i have done shows that it was/is a strong line of good dogs. i feeling pretty blessed to have stumbled upon my 1/2jd curs gyp(oh and i paid nothing for her...lol).
Yep, a little hard to find...the ones I hunted with were as rough as a cobb and didn't live to be old dogs.
when i talked to mr. davis that is what he told me also..lol. luckily mine isn't that rough. she will pull hair once she knows the hog can't get her(notice i didn't say that she catches after the catchdog..lol..just when she knows she isn't in danger..lol). she didn't really crank up until about a year or so. i was looking to get rid of her, now the only time i thought about getting rid of her is when me and the wife were having problems and i thought i needed to get rid of the dogs..but lucky me that wasn't neccessary. other than that, money can't buy that gyp...
