Ok cool, what dog was it if you don't mind me asking? 

Even if you saw one that doesn't really mean much does it? The line has been peddled till the sun don't shine. 

 You don't have a clue what's going on in the States, I'd say they have more info on what's going off over there. 

When numerous people claim they make a good outcross and well known dogmen have used them as such then I'll take their word over an English lad off here. 

You specifically said they are not game, a very bold statement to make IMO. 

You dont know who i talk to and who i dont........likewise....i,ll take the words of people immersed in that world rather than a lad who was a babe in arms when the sport was popular here and learned everything he knows from books

And you have the cheek to speak of Redboy on the other thread, have you actually looked at the dogs pedigree FFS?

And when do you think Redboy was born, it wasn't exactly yesterday was it? 

If you want to mention that dog then those 3 generations back in his pedigree deserve the same.

I was browsing over a few old journals the other day St B should of stuck at the three quarter stuff.

Funny thing was i looked over probably 100 -200 match reports and couldnt find a Colby dog within the first 3 generations.......still......maybe they suddenly came good recently eh

.....I blame the Stratton books for this fascination todays youngsters have with Colby dogs....for many of them its the nearest they have been to a gamedog so latch onto the names and lines they read.....ive got 30 odd journals here through the 80,s and 90,s and flicking through can barely find more than 1 or 2 odd references to Colby dogs in either show reports or adverts......to think they have mysteriously suddenly come good is naive at best.

You brought up Redboy and was praising the line, do you know how long ago that was?

Redboy dogs have been used extensively at the very highest level of the sport from the dogs own era until today.

Name me 1 known winning Colby dog from the last 30 years......just 1 ?

Only just looked at this post. Will read through it all later. Looks interesting and a rare event to have a good discussion on dogs. 

Remember to play nicely, agree to disagree. It's good to have a post with no blm or corona virus.

You don't grasp what I'm saying. 

I know full well that those dogs have been doing the business for years. 

My point is you dismiss Colby dogs but fail to acknowledge that Red Boy was part Colby, unless of course you're trying to claim that his pedigree was fake?
