melanie --got this from another website-
If you find dogs that go back to 1964 ACHA World Champion Stan's Sailor Jr., 1961 ACHA World Champion Stan's Sailor Boy, Grand Nite Ch. Ball's Hickory Nut Harry, Dual Grand Ch. Merchan'ts Bawling Barney, Grand Nite Ch. Norman's Coon Stopper, Dual Grand Ch. House's Lipper, Grand Nite Ch. Nocturnal Nailor, Ch. Grand Nite Ch. Rock River Sackett Jr., the one common thread that ties them all together is the bloodlines of Hershberger's Spot Jr. or his son Ch. Nite Ch. Hershberger's Okla. Spot.
i can remember a dog i had that had a lot of hershberger in a big pedigree-
she was a fast track dog-- the old timer i got her from gave credit for her speed to the hershberger blood in her-
that was only 30 years ago
i hear what devins saying--
you would probably look hard to find a walker that didnt have hersberger in it if you have a long enuff pedigree
i heard of a young stud dog out west , Lightning Ridge Hardwood Bozo,, he is hershberger both sides--
have you ever seen this website
The Foundation Of The Breed
http://finleyriverchief.forumotion.net/some pretty good info there on different strains and how they are tied together-
lots of old pedigrees etc- --
that website would be a great start on a book -- but only crazy walker people would buy it
