As for coin most of the money off the progeny of that dog came from matching them....the kennels never consisted of any more than 5 or 6 people who kept no more than 2 or 3 dogs each....very few of those early matings went out to the public and of the 3 matings with Tug 14 of the 17 pups went on to be matched with a record of 18 wins and 9 losses....the kennels were known throughout the Uk and Europe for big stakes matches yes....but to compare that to the money made through peddling pups like many of the other imports of the time is simply wrong as very few dogs went into pet homes comparatively,partly due to the fact that as already touched on they had a reputation for being manny. Don't disagree with you there. I wouldn't compare them to those peddling pup's today in anyway. The average man back in the 80's was interested only in putting a roof over his head and food in himself, let alone owning a dog to walk it about in his free time. Changed days for sure. Wasn't it alligator blood that were prone to be man biters, that's where nelis was down from? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
