Mm-hmm

... oh, shoot, that would've been oh, early 80s, late 70s, early 80s.

So I mean, I'm still only, I was born in '66, so I'm still only [laughs] 14, 15 years old.

But I'd drug her around, drug her around.
58:11
Of course, I'm just a kid, but I could not get a first place win with her.
58:16
I don't know how many seconds and thirds, but finally did get a, get a win on her.
58:21
Then I started breeding her, and Speck had just won.

He had a litter mate, Wild Woody, which had been a litter mate to Cash and him back in those 70s.

But he'd called Dad and wanted to know about, he'd bought a young dog off Leonard Hobbs.
62:07
The dog ended up being named Paleface Joe.
62:10
Yeah.
62:12
And he was pretty high on him.
62:14

So I mean, I'm still only, I was born in '66, so I'm still only 14, 15 years old.
57:36
But I'd jog her around, drag her around.
57:38
Of course, I'm just a kid, but I could not get a first place win with her.
57:43
I don't know how many seconds and thirds, but finally did get a, get a win on her.
57:48
Then I started breeding her, and Speck had just won, Dad had won the world hunt with Speck in '79.
