Bert Sorrells vs. Tatonka Kennels

I was wondering if any one on here knows if Bert is still selling dogs. I am very interested in his line of dogs, but I would like to know if he is even breeding litters anymore. I have looked at the Tatonka dogs recently, and some of them seem to be bred well. There is a litter they are taking deposits on right now that is a repeat breeding of two black and tan dogs that is interesting to me. I have been interested in the black and tan sorrells dogs for a while now, and I would just like to know what people's opinion of them are if they have owned one before or known someone who has.


Also, I have heard that Bert used a coonhound in his breeding program and that is where the black and tan colors come from.. Any info would help..

 

Bert is out of dogs

 

Haha no coonhounds I don't think. Colby dogs used to throw em too way way back.

 

U aint gonna find one from bert lol, tatonka prolly ur best bet.

 

I would go with Bob Villa, he has the best sorrells dogs

 

Not only that, but he can build you one hell of a mill in this old house.

 

I always figured Bob Villa was a blue nose bully type of guy, who would of thunk!

 

... Never heard of Bob Villa, at least not the dogman.. Lol. I wonder about her shipping policy... I have heard that she absolutly does not do shipping, and her site says to call, I might give her a call this evening.. It would be a hell of a trip from Northern California to Florida.. I still would rather have one from Bert or his son just because he is the originator of the strain..

 

They'll be flown to you through the airlines buddy. And if u wait on these dogs,,lol they'll be gone buddy.

 

Joanie will ship em. Shit you think she's gonna miss out on that money?

 

Lol, good point... they go for $800.00 to $1000.00.. I have never paid that much for an animal that I have never seen.. Matter of fact I have NEVER paid for an animal that I have'nt seen.. I think my best bet is to give her a call and talk to her.. I will let you guys know what she says..

 

they were hillary's dogs . he started the line . bert change the name in the early 80's .

 

What part of cali u in??

 

not hillary's but i mispelled it . it's hilliard's dogs they were partners .

 

LOL awesome!

 

Didnt understand this part of your post, maybe a wrong word used or something??? Could you clarify and explain your reasoning on it?

 

uncle bud produced his ass off . it mixes well with just about everything .

Thanks for the responses,

The Sorrels line of dogs is one that I have always been interested, but never owned one. I remember seeing an old SDJ ad of Bert's that was like Carver's old ads with the names of all his CH's and GRCH's around the edges of the paper and a pedigree of his current favorite stud. From that point on I was intregued and wanted to know more. Most of my dogs have always been Eli/Ironhead in the begining and Jeep/Redboy later on..

I talked to Joanie this evening and she's really cool and down to earth. I think that if I do get one from her I will pick it up personally. She said that you can bring a pup on the plane and put it under the seat in a skycrate..

@ Laced;
I'm up in Arcata in Humboldt.. There are alot of petbulls up this way, just about every transient has one or two.. I make it down to SF once in a while..
