Bolero when you make a statment like that , you should at least put some meat on the bones about why , and out of curiosity do you belive floyd boudreuax on blind billy ? i mean you read the post about that ,and the supporting evidence , which by the way only went to show just how mayfield was right all along about blind billy and ELI'S true breeding , along with many others which we have touched on like tombstone and others to come.Originally Posted by bolero
Mayfield told of a variety of dogs whos breeding he believed to be different than the
pedigree would show, as he had more information of breedings in his part of the world
and the ones mentioned in this thread so far are far more likely to be like he and others
knew they were than not.
Don like all of us was not perfect by any means , but when it came to pedigrees and breedings you could take his word to the bank , he was obsseive about them, and had
the bigest collection of information on the history of the breed and the game that any
man has ever had.
The funny thing is that non of the men whos dogs he claimed were bred differently
than they claimed, ever tried to say the same about him , they instead tried to say he
was crazy or other things ,but they never said that his dogs were bred different than he said as they knew they werent and that mayfield may not have been a saint ,but they
knew that if they tried to claim that about him they would be going down a dead end street.
Jack in his reply to the tombstone post ,where i explianed why mayfield could never bring
himself to breed to tombstone , eventhough he was sure that tombstone was out of baby and not jena , agreed that it didnt make sense the jena pedigree , and we can now be
certain that mayfield was infact correct in believing that tombstone was out of baby , but
becasue at the time he couldnt be 100% sure ,eventhough malony lets slip in the audio
that he is out of baby, then corrects himself later on in the same audio, and don because
of his way of breeding didnt want to take the chance by breeding tombstone into his
nigger bred family dogs if there was any chance that jena was the dam to tombstone
and not baby.
This shows mayfields attention to detail in his breding plan, and how seriously he valued the truth in his breedings and was aware as he has shown by what he claimed for many years
and i can tell you this , if i had to take one mans word on how his own dogs were bred , and the dogs in this thread so far ,then regardless of how much of a legend both mayfield and
boudreaux both are, i would have to say that on this i would trust mayfield , as i think
its fair to say that mayfield has pretty much proven to have been telling us the truth
on blind billy /ELI / tombstone , and if i had to say what you said about mayfield bolero,
it would be boudreaux i would be saying it about not mayfield .
For anyone who didnt know , don had more info and knowledge that he had amased in his
years of painstaking research of this breed and the men who played the game he loved.
He had trunks full of had written pedigrees from all those years and from the collections
of earl tudor amonst others , in put toggether a libray of video ,and more importantly 400 +
audio tapes of his dealings and conversations with every dogman from earl tudor to old frank
fitzwater and everyone else inbetween , in his search for the truth in breeding and as an absolute fanatic of this game and breed to have the forethought and passion of a true collector to have done that .
