Breeder Spotlight
How long have you been involved in your breed?
I have been involved in the Redbone breed for 40 years.
List three words that you feel best describe your breed.
Calm, sensible and trash-free.
In your opinion what physical characteristic defines your breed the most?
Dark red color, broad head and good cat feet.
In your opinion which behavioral characteristic defines your breed the most?
Calm, non aggressive and willing to please.
What is the largest false impression your breed gives?
People think they are slow starting.
What should breeders be most concerned about today?
You want a dog well bred with a proven record of reproducing or breeders should be concerned of dogs being made into Night Champions based on the handlers ability rather than the dogs ability.
Is your standard sufficient? If you do not feel it is sufficient, briefly list changes you would like to see made.
I’m not a big show person, so to my knowledge the show standard is limited.
What counsel would you like to give to newcomers?
Do your research, set your standards and find someone whom you can trust and work with.
What is the single most charming attribute of your breed?
The Timber Chopper Redbones are the best companion, but once you put the track collar on them they are strictly business.
Do you prefer your breed judged moving or standing?
Standing.

Bulldogs in England were originally working dogs who drove and caught cattle and guarded their masters' property. They were brought by working class immigrants to the American South where they used this all-around working dog for many tasks. By the end of World War II, however, the breed was almost extinct. Mr. John D. Johnson, a returning war veteran, decided to resurrect this breed. The modern American Bulldog continues to serve as an all-purpose working dog; a fearless and steady guard dog; and a loyal family companion. |
