Never saw that toe problem but i had a male dog that came down with the rubber jaw desease that is normally in cattle. I came in from a hunt one day and when i unloaded, i noticed his bottom jaw hanging open with tounge hanging out. He a cted as if nothing was wrong. I could take his bottom jaw and ...

Al, i hunted with the pup that didnt turn out. She seemed to nevermature,just stayed ahappy go lucky puppy. Never saw the red dog.

Al, i think your friend from Mississippi came to my camp and hunted a few days for several years. He mentioned you several times and i believe he bought a pup out of your area or maby from you. Tree dog- leopard mix.
