SSS. They destroy everything around them.

Because two men can watch a fight and see totally different things! A deep game dog, from blood you like, proven in front of your own eyes is worth more than a thousand tales…

Impressive looking dogs. I would think they have about 3 minutes of air between them. Were not talking about a Rouks Drift type canine battle here, with waves of coyotes attacking at intervals. A family (pack) of coyotes will surround their prey, nip, bite and run when they have to. Sheer numbers and aggressive behaviour allow them to take down animals much larger than themselves. LGD’s are just large dogs. They can be surrounded and killed like any other dog. Have a great day!

Ha ha. Sure.

Didn’t happen. LGD’s are big powerful animals than can give and take a lot of punishment if needed, but several (3 or 4) committed coyotes would tear most of them apart. An LGD’s job is to deter an attack, not throw down gladiator style and kill waves of attacking coyotes. Lol

Oxo, do you know the owner of Cur-stopper? If so, how is he doing?

And this is why I tried not to get involved… lol All the old names bring back memories, thoughts and ideas… bad ideas… lol

For sure they did. A guy would watch a roll and see something, then challenge the owner who thought he had a good one. Most of the time it was an easy win. Some were open to anyone that wanted some. Some guys would travel, others wanted home advantage. It was all part of the game. Real knew real.

Just lost the whole reply to this… try again. Lol I had mixed up Klogger with Buzz( brain fade). I met the Buzz dog in his latter days. A well known dog for sure. The Domino dog was owed by the same guy that owed Dillon, he told me he was down from Nelis, but unsure of the rest. I didn’t mention my gyp quitting as any detriment to the Nelis line, as I admired the whole Nelis, Spike, Alligator blood. Just speaking honestly about my gyp. That blood sure could fight.

I agree. I only use the handles they have used publicly. All have moved on, some passed on. No one that I know owns a real bulldog now. Good to hear the old stuff being mentioned now and again.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Give me a GAME dog that can breath and 9x outa 10 we take your money.

Was the Dillon dog you mentioned down from Klogger? I owed a gyp down from Nelis thru Will cap’s Domino. Really nice type that quit at 40 minutes after asking for more that she had. The best (gamest I ever had) where down from a PP bitch, direct from his yard, also the stuff down from Carrs Bullit. Far away days….

I have read, (and enjoyed) but tried to keep out of this thread, as game dogs create an itch that can’t be scratched. The UK scene had many great contests. When two the sons of Ried’s Skipper met, Scotsman’s Max v Priests Iron Billy. Yarrakin had enough faith to travel a long way with his charge and challenged a champion, Curstopper v Ch Sunny. The fireworks that the Nelis x Tug combination created, which Gnasher has alluded to, and lesser know individual dogs, that made their name in the trenches, little known maybe, but appreciated by those that witnessed their work, dog

My advice would be to listen to it on YouTube.

We read “A day in the life…” in school in northern England in the 70’s. At 14 yrs old it gave me a realization that government was corrupt. Many years later I read and then listen to “The gulag..” Solgenitzin(sp) was an incredible author/story teller, and all round brave individual. Anyone that wants to further their education should read his works. His thought on how the people should have reacted to the secret police are as relevant now as they were then.
