Steve,
of those living today, there is a couple that remind me of the old dog very much in the way they hunt. Old Twister was a dog that would wind a coon and move in that direction to strike it. His daughter, Penney, was very good at doing this. You could cast both of them in a certain direction and both might strike in the opposite direction. The Light'in dog that Eddie Terry has reminds me so much, in the way he hunts and trees, of the old dog. The Brush Buster II dog also does the same thing. Each of these dogs prefer to tree split but will tree with other dogs. Of course, Light'in is out of Buster II and our Cootchie Brown female. Cootchie was an inbred female, being out of Penney and her son , the old Brush Buster dog. The old Brush Buster dog was out of Penney and her nephew, Petersons Illinois Red Bud, who came from Penneys litter mate sister. Penneys sister was bred to Ryals Fireball ( no relation to Meltons Fireball ), he was out of Gr. Nite Smiths Red Oak Mike and Gr. Nite Coxs Red Bell from Arkansas. So, Terrys Light'in and Buster II are the two that reminds me of the old dog the most.
Russ Jones of NW Illinois bred his Gr. Nite Female, Ellie Mae, to Light'in. There was thirteen pups, some went to Utah for Lion and bear dogs. Russ kept two, with the others being around his home. Russ's male pup, Little Twister, treed his first coon at the age of five months and three days old. He was hunting him with his mother, Ellie Mae. She struck the coon but Little Twister located and treed ahead of his mother, with the meat. This pup just keeps getting better every time Russ takes him to the woods. The litter mate sister that Russ has is also doing a great job. He describes both as awsome tree dogs. Russ bred Ellie Mae back to Light'in. We have a pup coming from this second cross. Russ also bred Dual Gr. Bunny to Light'in. Bunny is a Grand daughter of the Old Twister dog. We have a couple of these pups coming to our house in a couple of weeks.
Hope this answers your question.
