How does everyone get tarred by association ? Unless your going to run to the newspapers and tell them about this thread I fail to see what damage is being done . It might not be your cup of tea but as I,ve stated ...don,t like it don,t read it. You seem to be taking a lot of interest in the thread for someone who takes offence to it with all due respect.
-
Not as simple as that is it....we all get tarred with the same brush by association Do we ? I take it your nothing to do with Northern Lads Ch Billy then ?
-
If you don't like it don't read it ...simples.

Let's not spoil a good thread by publicly going down the what's sport and what's not route , keep it private IMO.
-
Probably a bit dated now but a good book in its day, I still think the conditioning side of things is the biggest single factor in the dogs, maybe wrong but just my opinion
-
And yes Dog fox, like him or loathe him he knew his shit.
-
Without wishing to sound unkind the bloke sounds like a f****n idiot !.....So he takes an exceptionally game dog to its death,remarkably gets the dog going again..............and then thinks i know lets go back and scratch him again just to make sure !!! " IF " its a true story.....animals dying and then coming back to life are not exactly every day occurences are they so i hardly think it alters the term dead game Not something I,d do Gnasher but different strokes for different folks, by all accounts the Rebel was,nt a very likeable individual, but the fella we stayed with said he spent a

Sorry about the delay in the above post I had,nt had a look at the thread in a couple of days.

Historical as they say.

I dare say a lot of animals will if in a bad spot....humans included, I know I,d like to think I would, would,nt you ?

Not necessarily mate !
-
So breeding from a dead game dog would be ideal
-
It's a chicken and egg question, if you could find the formula then it's game over.
-
All they are looking for is winners not consistency I don't think mate
-
Most of the good ones don't live long enough in Eastern Europe, they are hard hard hard on their dogs, but I,d imagine the level of game ness they achieve is well above average, if there were any way of scoring such a thing.
-
That's unfair to the dogs of the past that I've taken their deaths. I don,t honestly think so, certain circumstances dictate what does and does nt happen, the example that Gnasher gives is a certain exampleSaying that those Scottish dogs seemed to overcome lives obstacles
-
As the saying goes they,ll all quit on any given day. Here s one for you lads, anybody seen a dead game dog scratch ?
-
Just looking back on the gnasher litter they were like peas in a pod, which one was rated the best ? Dutch ?
-
Along with his litter comrades... Incoming...

Thats my point nobody thought them worthy of preserving......didnt Bills owner get rid of all his Reid stuff to make way for Lady Pedro dogs. Again,reasons can be seen as excuses and proper people dont make excuses for dogs Smokey stopped and thats that...whether him arriving in the Uk with heartworm had anything to do with it,whether him not being the same dog that beat Sinbad had anything to do with it who knows a lot of people thought he would walk through Max and so no amount of reasons/excuses change the outcome or the fact that Max was an outstanding bulldog. Maybe Don't say that
-
Slightly off topic but ed Reid must be a fair age now, if he's still alive. One of smokeys wins was over a very highly rated dogman in the states who has produced and had many champions through his hands.....he rated smokey very highly.
