Chuck, Topper was out of Bowser. I bought Topper from Cliff Harris Nov. 7th 1961. He was 4 months old. Ran and treed first time in the woods. As a 2 year old I sold him back to George Hanson, who owned Bowser. Cliff got him back. He, Clare Chenwoeth, and Russ Miller passed him around for 3 or 4 years. He was killed on the road in 1967. He was a gr nite ch. He was a good one. Bowser was one of the best dogs that I ever hunted with. Gone but not forgotten. Herb

The Buck dog dad had was colored like an english dog red blue and tan ticks all over with a big tan head. Dad said he ran a coon like most dogs ran a deer, as with most of dads great dogs he had to sell them to feed his family during hard times.
