DISPUTED OR FAKE PEDS FROM THE PAST AND PRESENT .

[projectx]

Very interesting read ProjectX.

Makes a lot of since about the Tombstone and Honeybunch dogs.

What doesn't make since is WHY would so many dogmen of the past switch up pedigrees on bulldogs? I realize there were far less dogs, and one would want to stay ahead of the game by keeping recipes secret. But why not just choose not to disclose the pedigree?

It just seems such a dishonest practice.

Not to take anything away from any of the dogmen mentioned, as they are mostly just legends in the dust to most of us now. But imagine how much more great they would be if controversy didn't follow them.

Thanks sb , but what do you think about the blind billy ELI theory looking at the facts, its a shame that floyd or any other dogman would do that , but maybe the difference here between say carver being dishonest of faking peds
was more about either not wanting others to know the true breeding so he himself could repeat it , and also that as with bullyson and other flavour of the month dogs he would fake peds to sell you the pedigree or flavour of the month so to speak rather than to claim a line as his own , or to pass it off as sometihng that only he had a hand in and no other man.

Floyd on the other hand seems to have done his ped faking in this case to take credit for the line or not to give credit to another man , in this case mayfield , as both crybaby and little cotton were mayfields at the time and he made the breeding , but that type of ped faking seems worse to me than what carver did , as he wasnt claiming the breedings he faked peds on like carver did with ironhead or bullyson breedings etc which is still unacceptable done on the industrial scale carver did it on , floyds ped faking was claiming that a whole line was bred down from his own breeding ,as floyd seems to have done starting with the fake blind billy pedigree which led onto ELI and then the family of dogs we call the boudreaux family of dogs which definetly takes the shine from the mans legend status , but it shouldnt surpirse any of us that this happens, its called taking a short cut and most definetly dishonest .
