Who is the Better Dogman?

[Officially Retired]

damn im the only one who voted the.other way? if the fucker dont got it I aint fuckin with em. plain n simple.

You are only 1 of 2 who voted the other way, while 29 voted the more sensible way.

So you would cull Little Tater, who was the game bum that produced Gr Ch Buck? Or Long's Werdo, who was the game bum that produced Ch Doogie, Ch Rutkus, Ch Rhino, Ch Whiskey, etc.?

The idea of culling game dogs is not too bright IMO ... especially game bums inbred on talented dogs ... as ability (like anything else) can skip a generation ... and those game bums are often fantastic stud dogs.

you cant.add.talent or.gameness so if you bring out the best in a bum its still.gonna be a bum. you gonna have the best bum possible lol. no.excuses.as soon as you have a reason not to show him you should cull him.

Now you're preaching what other people should do? Kill dogs the moment they can't be shown?

Sorry, but this is selfish, short-sighted, if not outright daft.

History is filled with all-time-great dogs that couldn't be shown, but were extremely valuable as producers.

im not.going.to breed.a.bum.just cause its breed a certain.way theres.enuff hounds thst have the ped and performance to not.hang onto.a hound that doesnt cut it.

Good thing Stone City didn't believe that when they kept and bred Awesome Baby, a cold bitch who out-produced every bitch in the history of dogs, except Honeybunch.

With your ruthless thinking, have you owned any bitches that could compare in any way to Awesome Baby's as a producer?

if you dont believe they can compete with the best in the world then they dont belong. go thtough them and when u get that world beater.that is when you put YOUR best into a hound that deserves it.

If you don't believe they can beat the best in the world, then don't put them in with the best of the world.

But that doesn't mean they can't beat a pretty good dog like themselves.

Have you ever really beaten "the best in the world" yourself? (By that I mean, a Grand Champion, Champion, DOY, etc.?) Or are you pretty much just going into "dogs" with (what you call a "world beater") ... without the actual accomplishment you're speaking of, namely beating the best in the world?
99% of all the matches that take place are NOT people going into "the very best"; they're just two dogmen doing what they think are pretty good dogs.

I agree you should go through your dogs, and I also agree that you should bet (and put them with) where you feel they belong ... and I further agree that, if they're not good enough to match, then don't match them.

But I can't agree with killing game plugs, because history is filled with game plugs that will outproduce the daylights over talented Champions, especially if they're bred well.

you.dont take a ugly bitch out for steak and lobster do you? im not.talking.bout taking care of your hounds to the best of your ability we should always strive for that.

I may not take the ugly bitch out for steak dinner, but I am not going to kill her either, especially if she has a good heart.
