Those GMan dogs are about the purest old Carver dogs there are (if there is such a thing, lol). GMan, McCool, Thibodeaux, J. Mayfield and Texas Ironman were the only people who had those dogs back in the day. Before them it was T. Curry who had a lot of the old Carver dogs. I believe Thibodeaux used to work dogs for the Currys if I remember correctly. GMan got his dogs from Thibodeaux. Thibodeaux was a farrier (and a crackhead) who worked at LA Downs racetrack. If I remember correctly, GMan told me he traded a V6 engine for Miss Kim. I remember Miss Kim and Little Man when they were on GMan's yard before they were famous. Wish I would have loaded up on those dogs before they were famous. Back then, nobody wanted GMan's dogs, me included. Like I said, I could have bought pups out of Lil Man and Kim for $250, but the dogs were not known yet and had no reputation much. I had a son of Jeep at the time and I thought I had the "cat's meow" just because he was a son of Jeep. He didn't produce all that well. I could have gotten a much better family of dogs for $250 a pup and just didn't know it. GMan kept a yard full of them and hunted them hard and went through them until he developed a good strain of hog dogs. I saw both Banjo and BB hunt, they were very good catch dogs, with BB being the best. GMan never cared for the Banjo stuff much, as Banjo was sired by Sack and Sack quit a hog in the practice pen in short order.
Like all bloodlines, there is good and bad, and not every dog is gonna make it just because they have "the blood". I probably had 15 dogs off LG's yard at one time. Not all of them were good. But the ones that were good were long distance hog dogs with bottom and lots of hunt.
