Was this male dog out of Jamie’s dog? I like the leg under him and that deep chest. He almost looks a little cow hocked but it could be an awkward position he was caught in. My biggest breeding philosophy is “breed to a litter, not an individual”. I’m other words no matter how good a dog is, if a high percentage of his litter mates didn’t finish out at a high caliber then you are likely making the breeding for nothing. My second rule is that if I don’t like that dogs parents and parents of the other dog being bred to it then I don’t do it. The pups are usually gonna have a strong resemblance to the most prepotent one of those four or the most prepotent line of those four if it’s an outcross. If it’s a line breeding of a tighter bred family then you should have a pretty good idea about what you’re going to get. Of course these are just my opinions and what I have experienced.I hope it works out for you.

T-dog if you know who Brian Adams is, from Lee County. That’s who got him from my uncle.
He’s not out of Jamie’s dogs but a close relative. My ex/ uncle Cullen that i worked for at the time, his lead cow dog was a big dark brindle dog named Levi. Them dogs come out of Jamie and Timmy Exners dogs. This is all documented on this forum in one of my threads. This thread starts on the litter of this dogs brother bred back to sketch.
Also, I asked you about the Reats and if they had a gyp named Tiggy that’s somewhere up there running hogs after the Iselts got her from me and had her for years. That’s this dogs full sister from that original litter. Finding out about her on hogs will tell you the tape on that litter. There was 3 more in East Texas that slowly got killed off the guy loved on hogs, in fact he finally got another from me out of the other litter I had next to the sketch/ray litter and she just got killed on hwy running a hog.
He wasn’t/isnt cow hocked, rhett ended up with a sister that was though. She got culled promptly.
Litter was a success as far as the type of dog. Most of them just didn’t make it to a year and a half. It might be more of a sentimental breeding, but he is the last of those alive besides tiggy, and the inbred so out of this dogs brother named tracker that my buddy Nathan has.
