Stanleigh 135 Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 There is a need for a book covering the trials and the Irish strong dog , I enjoyed Darcy,s book , but I feel it only scratched the surface . First hand accounts from those that were there , in depth analysis and comprehensive and clear breeding historys are whats needed . Sharpen your pencil Bolio mate. 1 Quote Link to post
BOLIO1 1,078 Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 It sounds good in theory Stanleigh but most of the old timers are gone and the info along with them. It was a bygone era and the men involved sought no publicity so I wont either. Can you just imagine the upsurge of breedings that would be made using untested stock and all claiming lineage lifted straight from the pages of such a book? We've all heard the sales pitch of this or that modern day dog that was "never lifted at a trial", but many don't realise that's because many of these dogs were never run in trials. There are older, more experienced men who would be far better qualified to document the history of those times than me, but I doubt they ever will. 1 Quote Link to post

Stanleigh 135 Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 I understand what your saying Bolio , it,s a shame , the story of the Irish strong dog is something that deserves telling .I enjoy your posts ATB Quote Link to post
bisketti 6 Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 "most of the old timers are gone & the info along with them ". Be a shame for "all" them old timers to pass & leave the history writing to those that never even seen a trial. So much is lost already,as you say. I understand your thoughts & reasons...............................unfortunately. Quote Link to post
samstorm 34 Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Every dog has its day. my dog is waiting for the day she can do what shes meant to maybe she will be dead before then but i will have bred her to a good dog and will have another. if the day never comes then atleast i have one of the best mates of my life Quote Link to post
