Ditto EWO. I to wanted to hear the rest of that story from Mayfield about Tombstone and Bully Son Jr. I never saw all those tapes. Believe I might still have one Braddock gave me. Don did to much rambling on some of those tapes, was maybe trying to make to many to sell more tapes. His mind was starting to go as well.

Not sure if Don showed how he used his Jenny mill or showed his feeding etc in some of the later tapes. His lack of a good fundamental education did not help either or at least it appeared that way. Not that My ramblings are much better. Wish I could write like CA Jack. My oldest Grand Son can write very interesting articles that are fun to read and understand. He majored in English and History in College.

Just talking about working a dog but not seeing what is being done. Leaves a lot to be desired. The actual hands on of seeing and hearing is the best way to learn. I happen to be visiting Mr. Teal one Saturday in the AM. He had a dog out back being worked by him and his brother Jocko. On his round table.

I was allowed to stay and watch what they were doing. I just kept my mouth shut and watched and listened. A long the way Mr. Teal started pointing certain things to look for and watch for. He would say see that right there. That is how you want this dog to work this type mill. Then as it progressed he said see that dog's tongue, breathing and foam around the corners of mouth. Time to get him off and start the walking and a cool down. The dog was not worked to total exhaustion.

Mr. Teal did use road work along with hand walking. When He got older had to depend more on others to help with the road work and hand walking. Said one time when some of us was eating at his restaurant. He felt a lot of times some of his help was just walking his dogs far enough into the woods and sitting down with them. LOL

Rowell may have helped Mr. Teal a lot and could get one in good pulling shape. I think Coleman was a big disappointment for Mr. Teal. Last time the Turkey Farm dog was put down. Mr. Teal called him to the side and was upset about the poor shape he brought Turkey in that day. Coleman told Mr. Teal he was sorry for the poor showing that day.

I saw that dog pulling show down.Turkey had a tough go of it from the get go. Fought the head till he got to the back end of the other dog and won. Turkey was a deep game dog with natural ability. Had not had that going for him would have lost that day. Coleman's opponents came loaded for bear.

When I built my round table and started using it. From what Mr. Teal showed me. I was able to use it properly. It was just one tool I liked a lot. Did use my Jenny as much as I could with the round table as a back up. I had to learn the hard way not to run a dog four hours on a Jenny. To this day do not know how that poor dog did it with the stupid way I was feeding it. LOL
