Sam the Sheepdog and Ralph the Wolf

[athena]

a question that came in by email:

Looking to acquire some cartoons. One series in particular stars Sam the Sheepdog and Ralph the Wolf a.k.a. Wiley Coyote. According to Wikipedia Chuck Jones produced the first one in January 1953 titled "A Sheep in the Deep". I believe there were a half dozen or so more. Any help, thank you.can anyone answer it?

As a side note - heavily leaned upon by Hanna Barbera for their 'It's the Wolf' cartoons (1969-70?)
