Do any of you East Texas cur dog history buffs know anything about Mr. Winfrey and his dogs. He was born in 1913 and died in 1994 in Coldsprings. I know that his dogs had influence on the Woodruff and Hutto dogs and appears to have influenced several more lines.

The older I get, the better I was.
If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principle difference between a dog and a man.

My black dogs go back to the Winfrey dogs on one side... the few I know of were brindle cur dogs, with a hound influence. I was told the Winfrey's had running hounds also... I'd imagine they were bred into them somewhere along the line.

I met Mr. Winfrey a few years before he died; Bennie introduced us at Mr. Winfrey's home. The little dog Clyde that Bennie got from Bo Nutting went back to some dogs Bennie raised and to a Winfrey dog named Ellis. All that is according to pedigree info that Bennie had.
I have a friend at Elkhart that has dogs that I think go back to Tom Winfrey dogs. I think that most dogs today that go to the Winfrey dogs would likely have them several generations back in their pedigrees. I believe he had good dogs.

Your gyp come from Wade or after he sold the Tom dog , I ask because Wade had a lot brindle dogs from the Hart line out of Batson , and pretty sure Wayne got some dogs from Melvin Chapin that he bred to Tom I believe they were Winfrey dogs too

Terry winfrey is my uncle by marriage and i could ask him more about it. Thats all of his family and dogs that you are asking about. I have a handful of dogs that are winfrey bloodline...red, black, dark brindle and sadle backs. He has a few solid black still hanging around as well.

There is Winfrey blood in the New Waverly side of our dogs. Terry will occasionally make hunts with us, but it's been a few years since we've made a hunt
