Slim, excellent job of denoting the the tell tale signs of that "stretch" without using the word "bullshit". LOL

 

Well it is Sunday. S

 

Miss it too.


And I agree a lot of dogs have been helped by the material put out by Jack. That is a great thing. Better than a great thing.


He has the information in one place and it is easily referenced. If he sells the information, more power to him, or anyone else for that matter.

He made a great book. He built a great forum/database.

I questioned the percentages myself and that was the start of me being banned.

This is my logic. He referred to most anyone that disagreed with him a 'fuck-tard'. No one knew as much as him.

My logic was that if everyone is basically stupid, and in turn fucks up their own dogs, I asked how did he find 9 of 10 buyers to make sure his dogs were competing at that level since he was not matching those dogs?

Other 'debates' I had with him.

Just as Ssdd said, a lot of the material is things he learned from others or simply copied from others. I went very basic. The one sheet plywood dog houses. I posted pictures of the dogs on the yard I grew up on in the 70's. All his hounds were in the very same one sheet plywood houses. The bulldogs with a brain got a house and the ones not got steel barrels. He deflected the argument about how only dumbasses used steel barrels. So I pulled the video from his early days and it showed Poncho chained out with a dog crate as a house. From there, it was on.

As far as his keep or any keep for that matter, the times assigned seldom apply as the dog differs. No person can write down that a dog on Day #27 of the keep needs XX amount of minutes of this or XX amount of minutes of that. You either miss with too much or miss with not enough. If it is spot of for that dog on that day and was written weeks before, crate the dog and go buy lottery tickets. I am sure it is your luck day.

The book, regardless of who gets credit for what, is a great compilation and a great go to book for both new and old.

How he go there leaves a lot of questions but what he put out was as top notch as there is in the dogs.

Another debate just triggered, I suggested he should have changed the name and removed the name Pit Bull and made it more available/desired by people raising lab or beagles or Rotts. "Pit Bull" is a turn off for the masses. Again, I was told how much smarter he was than me, and rightfully so I suppose. LOL

A written keep is nothing more than a guide. I made that point and Jack assured me his keep was specifically tailored that it would fit every dog close enough. So i scrolled back thru and found some descriptions of his dogs where one was a super athlete and another was really strong but didn't breathe like this one. Just normal descriptions of dog most people have made.

I copied and pasted those two entries he made and then asked that both of these dogs should do XX amount of whatever on Day #27?

If you only knew how stupid he made me out to be. I have never bred a winner, never owned a winner, never seen a winner so I had no place to question the greatest breeder of all time. I felt in awe just to be in his 'presence'. LOL

Like it has been said, nothing is perfect and everything needs adjustments along the way. Reading the dog on each endeavor on each day is one of the more important things to learn in the dogs.

The guy that turned me onto the dogs I felt could read a dog on a mill better than anyone I ever met. A dog was never worked a minute extra or a minute light. He was spot on o every session.

Another one of Jack's quips was the dogs he bred could over come these type things, basically, since he bred them. LOL
