You are not understanding. It has nothing to do with being a bulldog.. YOU PAY FORFEIT ANYWHERE BELOW 42, NOT 30! WHY can't you understand that? Your cells need oxygen, the cells in your muscle need oxygen, the cells in the brain need oxygen. The lungs put the oxygen in the blood, the Red blood cell carries the oxygen with hemoglobin into the brain and muscle. YOU HAD NO RED BLOOD CELLS, YOU HAD NO HEMOGLOBIN! PERIOD. YOU CAN'T ARGUE. YOU COULD HAVE BROUGHT GR.CH.BUCK, MAYDAY, any dog with that count and they will stop. THEY CAN'T EVEN THINK STRAIGHT MUCH LESS PULL. You are wrong, " to stand out in the game" you WIN . You didn't help your dog, you were AGAINST him. I'll put it in words that you can understand, you filled up your car with half a tank of gas and half a tank of water and took it to the racetrack. Your car blew up, and you said that it was OK because That's the stuff you try and do to stand out in the game. NO SIR! IT IS NOT. With all due respect you are 100% wrong . Ask the board members. A Boston terrier would have beaten you. You want to try it? Eat nothing but lettuce and water for 6 weeks, so that yiur rbc count is at 32, then try to run 9 miles. Well see if you can do it. Again, I am elated that you are at least competing, and your intentions are good, all props, but your decision was absolutely and unarguably STUPID. Everyone on this board will agree.
