Mary 352 Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 I get what rippem is saying, I don't see it as racist at all. The wrong people are getting the breed for the wrong reasons, not his fault they happen to be black druggies. Quote Link to post
DogFox123 1,379 Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 The dogs have been in the wrong hands a long, long time. I know most don't like to hear it but imo the books wrote on the dogs gave them the publicity they did not need. In a way the men who love the breed are to blame for it's downfall. The same with hunting over here. Quote Link to post
BGD 6,436 Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Agree with that DogFox, publicity was the games downfall and is the biggest enemy of the breed Quote Link to post
DogFox123 1,379 Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Agree with that DogFox, publicity was the games downfall and is the biggest enemy of the breed It's a sign of the times, let's be honest most men like to show off their pride and joy to others. Difference is back in the day all they had was word of mouth. Now we have books with names of the folks and the internet that gives away everything..... I'm a member of another certain site and the content it allows made me question whether it's a legit site or a bugged site, the members on there might unknowingly be knocking in the final nail in the coffin....

Rabbit Hunter 6,613 Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Im not on facebook, but some pics on there that my mates have shown me are ridiculous regarding working terriers. Lads bringing unnecessary attention to themselves and to the past time we love for the sake of a pat on the back is embarrasing. 2 Quote Link to post

Your not gonna get much more mainstream than the national press Colby put his adverts in!...i doubt there was many read a stratton book and ran out and bought a bulldog...dog came first...books came later...to be honest them Stratton books are pretty crappy...gave away copies of 'this is the' and 'the world of' a while back Edited October 7, 2016 by AKA-BRINDLE Quote Link to post
rippem 455 Posted October 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Like i said im not trying to be racist. So please dont make it into a race thing. majority of people in the game are lying cheating peddling money grabbing paper hanging c**ts.. look at the legends of the game they cheated they hanged papers, they take drugs they steal dogs. good people in the game are far and few always has been always will be. white people are no different. what old timer did you ever see smoking a blunt or selling cocain? ..Think Mayfield had a hefty appreciation of the weed, as for coke, certainly got around the game here....but like some one once said to me, if you don't want to hang around with criminals, don't involve yourself in illegal activities...Yokel Plenty of the old timers smoked and even grew the stuff who did? I personally know alot of the old timers amd never once had i heard them say pass the blunt over here..Lol. please tell us Quote Link to post

rippem 455 Posted October 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Deffensive are we? LMAOOO! Dont make a statement you cant back up..i know amd knew alot of the old timers. So dont blast them on bullshit as drugs.. Quote Link to post
YOKEL 2,277 Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 i said, for a fact mayfield was a stoner...not that i hold that against him. but to say the old timers were whiter than white is a nonsense. and also, as i said, a lot of the longer standing, respected men over here had a penchant for the bugle. but, i also concur with you, that the wrong sort of owners will bring the breed down in the long run, but no one colour/creed can hold a monopoly on being a c**t, they come in all shapes and colours...

Yokel sorry but alot of the ghetto blacks are the ones in the game. Are there good black guy? Sure. But im not gonna hang out with 20 to find one good one. Most in the game are punk hood rats that sell cocain. And guess what that brings? THE HEAT! And alot of blacks treat there dogs like crap. Dont give fresh water everyday live in a shit environment. They use the dogs for money and money only. And if you wanna argue that just because your black then look in the mirror and have that argument with yourself not me. 1 Quote Link to post
