Vernon Jackson bought a puppy from Don Mayfield in 1971 and named him "Hank", the sire to Jocko and 5 other champions. Then Don gave him many more dogs to build his kennel on this bloodline. Champion Jocko was bred by Bob Rast, when he bred his bitch Queenie to Hank.

Jocko, along with Bass' Tramp Red Boy, were the foundation of one of the most successful bloodlines of the past thirty years, the Red Boy/Jocko bloodline.

Jocko was bred to his daughter, Tant's Rose, to produce Tant's Miss Jocko, who was then bred to the pure Red Boy dog, Chavis' Ch. Yellow John ROM, to start the famous bloodline.

Jocko, in addition to being one of the foundation dogs of the Red Boy/ Jocko bloodline, was a first class performance dog. He was matched and won four times between 1977 and 1980. He won over Hanner's Black Jack in 1:08. His second time out he won over Middleton's Bucky, a 2X winner, in a wild 11 minutes of back end techniques. His third was over Hodges' Ch. Brute, a dog reputed to have won 6 or 7 matches. His last time out he won over the black dog of Moutain Man's.

Jocko was matched between 46 and 48 1/2 lbs. and was considered one the better, if not the best, back end dog of his time.

what part of sc ? florence here.

The Charleston area. My late maternal grandfather was a well known dogman from the Florence / Lake City area. I actually own property in Scranton, Olanta, Effingham and the family cemetery just outside of Lake City off HWY 378 W. My wife and I also plan to move on my grandparents old homestead off of McAllister Mill Road when my 10 year old graduates high school. My dream is to build a small house using as much of the original material from my grandparents old home that I had to tear down a few months after my grandfather died several years ago. It was almost 200 years old and fell on its side a few days before his death. I saved 2 connexes of wood, fixtures, doors, glass and brick. I know it won't be the same but still... with all those pecan trees (12) lining the drive way, the pack house, smoke house and 40 wooded acres surrounded by another 150 acres of cotton and tobacco fields will give me a little peace from the city in my old age and a nice quiet place for the kids to visit for the holidays. I spent a many of summers and holidays on that land, LOL... a lot of them feeding, cleaning water tubs and digging holes to burry the crap of some of the best dogs I've ever seen. Hopefully my future grandchildren will get to too.

Sorry for the rant, but thank for the memories!
