Lets see them Yellow dogs Mr. Cox has been breeding

I have had privilege of calling Robert Cox my friend for the past 3 years. I have two dogs that came from Mr. Cox, one is the ACE dog Mr. Mason talked about, and the other is a female I call REBA that is at Mr. Mason right now. The ACE dog is (by my calculations off his pedigree) a littler over 70% WB.

Mr. Cox has had a couple of dogs from Ben Jordan and I know one of the them was a dog called Maggie that he really thought was an outstanding dog. Now I can’t speak about him and Mr. Wright, but to my knowledge he has never had any direct dealings with Mr. Wright.

Mr. Cox started looking at the WB dogs about eight years ago and couldn’t find one that fit what he was looking for in his dogs. A few years later, he ran across TANK, a high % WB and liked what the seen in that dog and bred some dogs to him and liked the results.

I ran across a post Mr. Cox had another forum that I think really explains his thought and feeling towards these yellow dogs better than I can, here it is;

I have settled on Blackmouth Curs. I have seen some awesome crossbred dogs, catahoulas, etc.Have had and tried some different lines of Black Mouth Curs. As time has gone by and my opinion of what a good dog is has changed. I have gone to running the old Stock type BMC to the high percentage Weatherfords Ben dogs. Have a few bloodline pedigree names I look for in any new blood I may bring in.
It's a lot of work but very gratifying when you see your best laid plans and hopes come together. It often does not. I really give credit to the men who created the dogs and those that have kept their stock true so that we can have the opportunity to work some of these dogs or attempt to make them suit our individual needs today.
I got into attempting to breed dogs I would like because I had gone through so many that weren't worth keeping. Spent good money on dogs that would not even make help dog status just to cull them out.
It came down to having to "luck" into a good dog and hope it never dies or gets killed. If it does I was back where I started.
Part of the down side is at times having to put a dog up for a later breeding than risk getting it killed. The upside is having the dogs to hunt that suit you.
