Bryant,
Do you know who and why the Foundation registry was started? I cant seem to find much information about it. JT
The foudation registry was started in 1991 and was originally formed with the strictest breed standards ever written or implied for any cur breed. The goal of the registry as written was, '...to preserve, promote and protect the original Black Mouth Cur Breed." I'm not sure who was the original founder.
Weatherford's Ben was born 10-1-1988. I'd have to look back, as my mind is blank on date he died. He was actually the 80th dog registered through FBMCBA.
which brings me to this question?Who did Ben Jordan get his dogs from that all these great BMC's came from and from where?
Ben Jordan had an influence in Weatherford's Ben, but several other established bloodlines of dogs were used in the formation of the registry. Red Burkhart's dogs as an example.
Since that time, several other established bloodlines have joined. A couple of examples would be Butch Arnold who began breeding and working his own line of dogs for his personal use around 1956.
