    I would beg to differ on this one, but there is no way to prove it either way. Everyone is entitle to their opinion. S

    It takes all kinds. For every one of that guy there are ten the other way. And vice versa as well. I have seen some really nice dogs that were low dollar and seen some that were high dollar but not worth a squirt of piss. And vice versa on that as well. There is never a correlation or direct link between money and quality in the dog game. Just coincidences here and there. S

    only saying that because money isn't a factor . they live a simple life and the family helps in every way . they just want to prove there dog not get rich . and no one ever got rich unless they peddled .

    Its called match making.If a dog has a style that doesn't suit your dogs style you would be a fool to go into the show knowing that. Now if u put your dog out there as the best at their weight and will go against anybody,thats different. There is an old saying and Ace can't lose but if u put two Aces down long enough, one will.Ken Allen would match for over $50 grand or a grand or less.He was a sporting man and there was a few more like him back in the day.

    If u have that animal thats worth a 10,20,50 grand bet and u work a 9 to 5 with a.family them numbers are unreachable! Would u not meet me at a working mans price? If not im gonna say u ducked on me because of the money that u know I could never reach! At the end of the day its to see who has the better animal and if u seen mines once then call him out but then say u wont dont it for less then 50grand ur docking cause u know u have a cur and seen mines go and know we will kill u!
     
  8. back then if you beat a action man like ken allen. it was like hitting the jackpot because they'd want to buy the dog. there were guys who lost & bought the winner & went back into the same camp with there own dog. those were real sportsmen. and if guys like that seen you once or twice that's your ass because they'd go & find something taylored just for it. the rebel was famous for that.

    It is not as cut and dried as that. Some guys pay another for yard work, feeding, cleaning, and then conditioning. So their investment is higher so they are looking for a higher return. If a guy pays another $2500 to do a keep, odds are he is not going to do the dog for $500. On the opposite, (almost) a guy that works a 40hour week for someone else who does all his own work and his own keep is not in that $10-20-40-50 grand ballgame either.
    It is all in perspective. If you say $50 and I say I can't do that, that is simply the end of it. I can't go back later and say that tag was put their just to duck no more than the next guy can say I ducked because I didn't have $50K worth of confidence in my dog. My earlier analogy with the BBQ recipe. I was on the card with two big time/big name kennels. I was paid a forfeit on show night for $400 for an $800 first time out get together. The next show went for $15K straight up and $10 more in side bets. I sold my "$800" to the winner of that show. Neither of those $25K participants could hold this boy's water bottle. There is miles apart between $800 and $15-25. I could not afford to play in that league and they would never lower themselves to mine. But they did buy the $800 dog and no telling what they pulled down with him later.
    The key is none of the dogs involved can count. I never considered them ducking me because of our financials, or me them. It is just a part of the game. S

    it is part of the game. Just as we all do not have the same quality of animals, we all do not have the same financials.

    nget the animal from is that so and so' hound and now u say u dont want to go that high wat does that say?


    I have never asked any questions about a dog or its owner. When I complete my process and I put it out there it is really simple. I have XX weight male or female for $$$$ amount of money on one of these three weekends. Then we work out the details. The weight first. The money second and the date last. That is the end of it.

    To me u can hide behind ur money but for so long! This is pre 70 so this kinda of money was a big deal at these timed

    The money was big and small back then, just as it is big and small now. If a cat does not have $$$$ he can still have a quality dog. Another guy can have a real piece of shit but unless you got $$$$$ you can't prove it. Neither is ducking.

    On the flip side, knowing the owner of the better dog does not have $$$$$ and you use his financial situation against him to prevent a show date, that is ducking. But if it is just a weight out there and no one knows each other and there is just a separation on money that is not ducking.. S

    Exactly what i've been saying. There IS a such thing as ducking but me calling a 36m for 25-40k and you only having 3 dosent mean im ducking you. You can only sit back and wait for someone to answer you 36m for 3k call.

    Absolutely. And I think most of the time it happens that way. Once in awhile there will be talk about ducking but mostly people play in their perspective areas. Either dog could roll in the other guys financial bracket. It happens, and the only friction comes form talking. (Just bout like everything else.) S.

    if they used money for the reason of not going into a dog what the hell do you call it ? your just fooling yourself . ken and the a team would go low or high . the comp. is what is was about . but not for all saw it that way .

    Read what was posted. If a dog is seen and he is open and one guy says it has to be a million, or I don't come out. That is ducking. But if two guys know nothing about one another and it is just a weight floating around out there that gets picked up and the money is way apart. That is not ducking. I understand the competition being what it is about but money is real and 'competition' is perceived. S

    I was answering tboy but I would agree with you . but if the 2 know about each are open and the low guy comes asking .

    True. If I thought I had the best at a weight and I was the guy with all the money I would have to find out. But lots of people in the game are more concerned with the money than the dogs or the competition. For some the dogs are just a vehicle to cash. It takes all kinds. S

    This is a prime example of ducking and spot picking!!! Taken from an interview with Hardcore Kennels for the "The Pit Dog Revolution"

    "Doogie's Championship match was into the 4xW Tant's CH Rocco. >Laughs< Tant thought he was going into some street kids, cause that is what he likes to do - match for big bucks into nobodies - but when he found out he was going into me and Doogie he tried to leave. >Laughs again< He had to be padlocked into the place. He finally agreed to go through with the match because too many well-known kennels were there. Doogie forced Tant to pick up in :48. CH Rocco didn't make it home. >Laughs< Still, that didn't stop Tant from "selling" CH Rocco later to Shaun of Bull Skull Kennels. >Laughs again< I think Tant took Rocco's brother and sold him with "Rocco's" papers or something, I don't remember, but I talked to the guy who burried Rocco, and he confirmed the dog never made it home. So when Shaun found out, he gave the fake CH Rocco away, even though the dog later proved to be game.

    We then tried to sneak CH Doogie into S.T.P. Kennels too. S.T.P. is just like Tant now, they used to be good dogmen but now they avoid real competition and match into green street kids. But instead of doing it for high dollars they go for chump change; they won't go any higher than $500. >Laughs< It's a business with them now. Make a paper Champion w/ three $500 bets into nobodies and then sell their "Champion" for $20,000. But we wanted them anyway. When they found out they were really matched into me and CH Doogie they paid forfeit. That was the only forfeit S.T.P. ever paid anyone in 30 years in the game."

    How much of this is actually true is my question. Not saying the dude is being dishonest, but these are some legit competitors he's talking about. Hard to believe Tant and or S.T.P were trying to duck ol' boy. But I wasn't there so it could truth.

    i dont think you duck because even if you go into a Ace keep and handling come with it..Sometimes uncontorable shit may happen durin a keep..So you might not be able to show him at 95 to a 100 percent..And the other fella may have a dog thats not a Ace but a good one and he brings him in at a 100 percent.UPSETs do happen.
