Famous Dogmen

Ok so I was wondering what Bloodlines (or crosses) some of the famous (or not as well known) dogmen were known for..i.e. Mr. Floyd B. obviously fancied Eli blood..Im not looking for any arguements just good clean info...lol also about the not as well known...if there not known to the public please dont post names on a public forum...Thanks in advance

 

yes the eli blood was handed out but the Boze stuff only went to friends.

 

Sampson most of the lines carry the name of the dogman in front or some may carry the name of the dogman ex. Lonzo=Lonzo Pratt.

 

can somne post some examples
patrick
tant
lonzo and so on...
that would help

 

yeah i feel ya but i kinda ment like for example Carver had his own line of dogs he preferred to use right? so im kinda wondering what that line of dogs is like Redboy/Jeep (just an example)or what?

 

if you look back Mr Floyd also had a period where he was crossing heavy Pistol pete into the eli blood and also the boss strand is also a nice strand these days but not too many ppl know and also clemmons bred to Zebo to get Nigger Toby which was bascially a 50 50 cross of Eli and Zebo(Lonzo)

 

Thanks colossal..do you know what Mr. Carvers line actually was?

 

IMO Carver dogs were scatter bred more or less it seemed he took what was good here and then bred it there and came out with decent stock and built on it to make it his own he had in his first few heavy dibo and some rascal corvino williams stuff of that nature which I can't speak on to much but may you and I can both be schooled on it

 

it was hardly scatter bred. & yall are forgeting mo was partnered up with E shaw for a good bit.

 

How were his dogs bred then Ben? I honestly dont know what his stock was like can you shed some light?

 

he had a lot of different stock,but they weren't scatter bred. his best asset was making good choices when it came to picking dogs. he went with what was working at the time stuff from tudor,hinzel,E shaw,colby,corvino,long. most guys at that time were running similar blood but mo just had the "eye" to spot good dogs. just look at ironhead,missy,blsckshine & work backwards from there or look at Eshaws reno & work your way forward to get a better idea of his earlier stock.

 

Ok thanks i appriciate it...
So if someone say they have a Carver bred dog no particular bloodline
just comes to mind?

 

you could damn nearly say that about everyone. what do ya say when someone say they got a J shaw bred dog? what do you think then? where did his best stuff come from? carver that's who lol.

 

lol I feel ya

 

BB did Carver ever say which dog was his favorite and why?

 

Bump this ^^ for answers

 

the only dog that got a headstone made for him was ironhead. so i guess that can be looked at as his favorite dog. he alos named "stompanato" after his friend johnny stompanato so im sure hi was a favorite dog of his as well. he wrote about cracker being one of his best match dogs & was really high on that dog as well. & in a interview he said he liked bullyson because of his high stud fee lol. i guess the only true answer would be from carver hiself & it may only be a half true answer lol.

 

Carver sure as hell had some of the greatest dogs around.His bloodlines was very popular with top dogmen. It just seems he was involved with some of the greatest in 1 way or another in his time.How many people can say 25 + years after they are gone guys would still be talking about them?

 

BB I read a story years ago how Carver gave Hooten Indian Bolio as pup for awhile.Norman said he would have Bolio go around with him on the ranch.Norman said when Carver came back to get him,Norman asked him if would sell him to Norman.Carver said he had other plans for Bolio.Did u ever read that?

 

& we will be talking about him for another 25, just like we talk about feely, lightener,colby. the greats will always be remembered for what they gave us. i don't know of any other breed of dog where the men behind them are talked about just as much as the dogs themselves.
