Hi I'm new to the forum. I read it a lot but I am new to posting. Bobby I don't hog hunt but I do waste a lot of time on the internet looking at dogs. I am 99% positive the Murphy's dogs are Howard bred. If you go to blackmouthcur.com under the breeders list for Alabama the Murphys and Steve Howard are listed with webpages and contact info. I would think they would be able to tell you whatever wanted to know. Hope this might point you in the right direction.
Lynn has been doing some digging too and told me the dogs are Howard lines but the guy his came from is named Murphy.
Confusing I guess, Murphy bred Howard dogs.
Thanks y'all.
