[t-dog]

Slim I hunted a male that was given to me by Johnny Morton 20+ years ago. Jaime and Johnny hunted together and I think that their lead dogs were littermates. Johnny's dog was named Curly but I can't quite recall Jaimie's dogs name. Johnny always talked real highly of him though. Said both were really good but one was  better on cows and the other was better on hogs but both worked good either way. The dog given to me was out of the last gyp from Johnny's families line of dogs bred back to Doughbelly's last old Male, ol' Dummy. This was a red motley colored dog with a ring neck and a hog dog by most anybody's standard. He was easy on the eye to boot. I'd be scared to guess at how many hogs I caught with just him and my old Clyde dog it was a bunch. I hunted him all around the Rockdale area and then moved to Palestine. He was solid anywhere I cast him. I also bred my old Clyde dog back to a Doughbelly gyp that my really good and extremely missed friend Johnny Biehle had. It was a litter of cracker Jack's buddy. I can name off at 4 or 5 out of a litter 6 or 7 that were way above average hog dogs. One of them I lost track of and one got  caught by a hog. I like the doughbelly dogs I've had dealings with and hunted with.
