ducking dogs

That had to have been in the 1890's or something. These dogs are a very expensive hobby and for all that proving a point stuff we can do that otc. If you win your hound wont get an official win but on the other hand i wont have to spend time and money on feed, supps and a keep to do a match that wont cover the costs of my keep.

 

You're right. I was trying to get at the point of if you werent as high on the dog but still considered him show worthy, instead of opening up his weight and letting a a Buck answer the call would you just go straight to Bucks front door and ask him to dance?

 

Thanks thats all i was trying to find out.

 

No-body is talking,otc..back then if ya brought out it was contract...so what we found out was,for some it was about the dog's......an for others,money, they use excuse's about money...so it's about money for them...so either they had the quailty back then or they were full of it................?????????????????the best is were ya find it,and some-times back then it would cost a-lot of time,money+effort,but other time's the best comp was easyier to go in-to...ya don't/did'nt make excuse's... To not go after the best..that was there, no matter who had it...............

 

Yup most times you dont even no who or wats being brought , just have your charge ready to race ...

^^^^^^^^ I feel the same way! Hard as hell to be otw these days tho

 

Now them 2 reasons in my book are why you wouldn't do something.... Everybody bank account is different and just bc someone says I can't make it to that place or cover that$$$ don't mean their duckin or lack confidence in their dog.... I ain't gonna chance more than I can afford to lose and I'm not gonna lose my job just to travel to get one done......

 

the other part to this is....... the conditioner

 

the one ducking here would be the guy asking to much . if they loved their dog so much they would do it for a bag of feed if that's all they had . the sides always covered to make things more interesting . it's was about the dog not the money for a dogman that loved his dogs not what he might could loose on 1 .

 

I think its kind of funny you say that because of the vast majority of dogs considered aces and the ones that are in the bulldog hall of fame can you name 3 that had a contract match for a bag of dog food?

 

you just think it's was all about the money tboy . just what if the best dog would have been the guy that doesn't have much money . will they pass him by ? lighter didn't match for money for decades because there wasn't much to go around . but was his dogs junk ? everyone thinks there was a lot of money even 30 years ago . well some but not many . and haha you aint old enough to remember much because it's been illegal since 76 .

 

Maybe some people take that earn your keep saying to litteral. I may be the death of this breed. Sorry about that old goat.

 

it's cool I just telling alittle history .

 

you are 100./. correct about that!!!

 

I recall a kennel that has some of the best around from Mexico stated that he'd match for wine and cigarettes and he neither drinks nor smoke.
You catch my drift? He was calling out guys from the Eastern Block countries and they were whining about expenses.
Wow I take my hat off to a man that could bet a house on a dog say he'll do it for little to no money, just to make the show happen.
That's a sporting kennel, don't yall think?

 

you will find more true dogmen from mexico than any other place .
