I understand the quitting factor. I understand it is easy to read about situations and form an opinion. I was once at a point that said everything that would not scratch at two plus hours needed the silver pill. With that said, looking back on something that happened 20-30-40 years ago and offering up the what someone else should have done/could have done is wasteful energies. There were a bunch of W's collected later because Bullyson did not get the silver pill. Midnight Cowboy. Honeybunch. Chivo. The ability to look past the obvious is an amazing characteristic to have in one's repertoire. EWO

And ANYONE who knows about Leo Kinard knows, he kept EVERY dog he came across. It didn't matter if it was good, bad, ugly, a curr or whatever..

And what in the fuck did Spook produce?! Eli Jr and Bullyson?!? Eli Jr was a decent mutt, but Bullyson was curr, piece of shit... Fuck they tried to give him 2 chances to scratch and the fucking cull stood the line both times and didn't even try to step out.. If they were TRUE dogmen, they would have put that mutt down right there..

People are so quick to make an excuse for a dog. "Blind Billy only lost because he got overheated", NO.. Blind Billy lost because his owner didn't bring him in good enough shape and he blew hot and didn't make the scratch...
