To all you game dog buffs.

My favorite catch dogs have always been out of South Dallas X Craigslist and I wouldn't know a Chinaman dog from General Tso's chicken. But I'm enjoying looking thru the collection here. I can imagine all of the years of trial and effort that went into the animals represented.

I would say that if anyone reading these posts knows of some old timer who was a dog man or a hunter or a cowboy or whatever . . . you should go talk to him. You might learn something. You'll almost definitely hear some great stories. If he's old enough he's probably been sitting around for years wishing somebody would care enough to listen . . . and someday you may be in the same boat! And . . I can only imagine the old pictures and pedigrees and collections of long dead dog men that have been thrown away by surviving wives and children who never shared his interests and can't wait to get rid of it. There aren't any hog dog museums and it's up to us to preserve anything or it will just disappear.
