Those pups sure look good I have a old gyp that look almost identical to that gyp on the chain she originally came from a man on this site and im told she was a Doebelly shes around 13 now blind in one eye and deaf but she was a real hog dog I still haul her now and then and she still gets them bayed but you have to catch her to stop her and that's not always easy I managed to raise 2 pups off her and solid male dog I had and they are now coming on 2yrs old and are getting it done I have looked for info on the Doebelly would love to hear more about the line and how they came about them.
Man as far as I have ever been told the doughbelly dogs were just that. Dogs. The man had wild stuff running everywhere. Cur dogs, Wolf hound, greyhounds, wild cattle. He was just an old simple country guy that had managed to obtain good blood from somewhere and kept it around. He was an old peddler but he was an honest one, he’d sell you a dog or a horse in a heart beat, but it was going to be what he said it was. I think the real reason the doughbelly name has stuck and registers with people is because it was a pretty central hub of the dogs in the region and where a lot of them originated. Just like the woodruff and hutto dogs out east. Im sure there’s more dogs that if you were to go far enough back there’s more dogs than you can shake a big stick at that originated from doughbelly dogs or his yard, but it goes the same as most other old lines. Very few people have held them true to what they were. I have had a few people talk like they know the story or they have the dogs, but the old men I have gotten in with knew him personally, and tdog is the first person I’ve ever talked to about the origin of these dogs that was on the same page as I was about them.
