O.L. Beckham was the best, what he didnt deal with in quality he made up for in quantity.
I never did try a dog of his but got to hunt with plenty of em that folks got from him and all of them went right back to the auctions.
I went down to Cass Walkers back in the late 70s to try out a dog and what an experiance there was atleast 5 others there and I dont even remember how many dogs but Cass loaded the dogs we were thinking on and away we went.
I thought that he would just turn a couple loose at a time but oh no he turned a half dozen or so out all at the same time and the timber went to shaking what with all those trade dogs bellowing thru the woods running no telling what (the good Lord only knows) cause none of us had a clue!!
well two or three ran out of hearing so things settled down to a dull roar then a couple came back to keep us company for the rest of the night and two or three got together and actually treed a few coons that night.
when we get back to the vehicles Cass says well boys whadda ya think (me and my older kept our mouths shut) as we knew he didnt want to hear what we was thinking.
to my amazment these two ole boys wanted to buy the same two hounds and then the price haggling began over a blue dog and an english dog, whats the papers on this one and whats the papers say on that one back and forth so Cass opens the glove box and pulls a whole handfull of papers out and of coarse the peds are chock full of high powered titled dogs so these two guys are out bidding each other and Cass is just leaning beside his truck nodding his head and telling em what their wanting to hear once in awhile.
the best I remember he sold the english for $1200 and the blue dog for $1100 then without missing a beat turns to us and asks well are you gonna buy the black dog and when I told him no he asks me why not and when I told him because it was I couldnt tell what the dog done he said what do you mean you just saw him tree three coons and I said back to him I couldnt tell anything about the dog except that the dog would tree with other dogs Cass acted disapointed in my lack of knowing what genuine good coondog was after seeing it in action.
oh well I guess I just missed out!! LOL
