Aye, like with most working dogs, it's a real easy job to ruin a young un by giving it too much too soon. Slowly does it. Even when it is chomping at the bit early doors, hold it back some. 14/16 months, if showing willing, and just a little taste, leave it wanting more....

So many dogs were ruined in those early days as youngsters we all just thought they was machines im sure you will have read bits about this young lad we was literally rolling him out every other weekend from the minute he was on at 10 months !....its hard to admit but he wasnt far off " abused "....people said he stopped in his 4th which he did but the dog was shot to pieces before he was even fully mature.....hard one to accept and you live and learn but i hope he's had a whale of a time up there in bulldog heaven.

I believe max was some dog even with a bad hip wasn't the owner a lad that had lurchers but didn't know what he had in max after rescuing him from a dog pound 

I think it was actually his stifle that was gone rather than his hip......slipping patella or something.

Some dog though.... i never liked to admit it years ago as it was an England v Scotland thing but as you wise up through life you just have to hold your hands up sometimes.....he was a hell of a bulldog and produced the same fair play.

My memory is normally pretty good for peds but cant quite remember now wasnt he a Two Toes dog or grandson of Two Toes....must admit i thought he was owned by Oddbod who was spoke about earlier in the thread but i could be wrong or he was sold on etc

I only know about max as I was told he was the grandsire to my pup so I researched him he was some dog even when he was out of it  and everything was against him he came through he  was involved in some tough tussels but had a big heart and had  that confidence in his own ability to over come it  you have to admire that

He was never matched at his true weight either simply because im not sure they could put him through a proper keep due to his injury so he was always going uphill.....incredible really.

Dont know the dog myself gnasher but I heard the name mentioned in the breeding of the sire of the bull cross lurcher I have here.

[big sid 1,126]

thanks gnasher, although i was never involved in the game i have often admired the animals when in a fit condition, plus i didnt know so much work devotion and cost went into the sport plus the keeper would have to be pretty sharp in knowledge to get the best on a given day.
