Had one as a kid and it was a great dog. I think it must have had some greyhound in him, because he could fly! Jumped barbed wire fences like a deer.
the one i had would leave any walker they brought to macon county . that bell i had him on would sounding off . lol
guys down there called him ding-ah-ling . no body would catch him because he had that smile , was friendly smile though. was the only dog i had that i could call off a deer .
