Are we talking bout Yeller dogs in general or just papered WB dogs.
Think a few folks are getting confused and think those are the only ones in the breed standard.
I have been dealing with Yeller dogs most of my life, but had never heard of WB or papers till the net craze.
If anything around here I would say Yeller dogs have always been the norm with almost everyone I knew having one in the mid 90's. Now........just pockets and less than a handfull of long term men that kept their lines goin.
So I would say for this area that has utilized Yellers for as many years ad you can find a man living to tell you bout em. ....they are actually dwindling instead of booming.

Fad.......maybe on the industry promoted dogs but have to disagree on the entirety.

Hell when I started hunting 9yrs ago I RARELY saw a yella dog around my area, now days I see em everywhere!!!!!! they are def. expanding around here........and i am in no way saying that it is a good thing just statin what i've seen
