Yellow black mouth dog call out

If I've heard the straight yellow dog people correctly, then the criteria for a true yellow black mouth is a dog that has a black mouth. Not just a black nose but a black mouth. Not the inside of the mouth but the outside of the mouth, the muzzle. Smokey does not have a black mouth. He is yellow but no black mouth. The Cutter dog that belongs of an OKIE friend of mine, is yellow with no black mouth. Those two would be on the colored dog team. Ironically, I've been told that smoke and cutter didn't fit the breed stock criteria for the yellow black mouth standards. But when the hunt starts the yellow dog team wants them on their team. Not worthy enough to breed to but can't find a hog without them.

*Again, this post is not directed at any one person, just fighten for the rights of our dogs. I want the public to know that there are good hog dogs that are not yellow black mouthed in color.
