I'm down to 3 dogs and my old male is Jeep/Redboy Rascal, I have a nephew of his where I bred a sis of my old boy to a dog named Musket that was bred by LG and pretty much Lil Man/MissKim breeding. My current catchdog prospect is off Reatj's bitch and T-dog male which are strictly line bred for size and catch. You wouldn't recognize anything in the first 5 gens. Performance in the woods was the only thing that mattered for the last 20 yrs. I hope he lives up to the hype I have built up around him! Haha Thomas has let the paperwork drop off but they have come from ADBA stock. The Carver/JRR cross might have made a catchdog but he got his teeth yanked out on a hog 2 yrs ago. I like him so he has a home here. The old guy is 11 and is my last real tie to what I have been breeding my whole adult life.
I am really interested in that old carver stuff! I was thinking about picking some up, I have never had any. I only have a few dogs too right now, but I am reloading

Right now I have some real nice Mayday/Buck Directly off some Ch's. But I am in the process of picking up some old Mexican Eli.
Good luck with your new catchdog prospect, I have read about T-dog's male sounds like a great one so your chances are good!
