R.F. Dickey wasn't satisfied until he had the very best coondog in the country and proved it. After it was proven with Junior, Sandy, and Blue Boy Red, he seemed to have lost interest. I have tried to maintain the strain of English R.F. and Hank Horne built but I have always been more interested in breeding good English than competition hunting. I do feel like I have maintained the strain and have a young dog that is being competed with that has all 3 dogs with Timberstar Buck up about as close as you can get these days without a bunch of other stuff being outcrossed into the line. I think R.F. and Hank Horne made a big contribution to the English breed. I hope to maintain the line they started as long as I can breed dogs. I don't know how to contact R.F., I have met him but we never became close friends.
