I would use every trick i can to give my dog an edge. But never to the extent were it hurts the other dog. Like jack wrote possibly poisoning or some shit like that. Being a bit of an asshole in the pit is part of the game, and its up to the opponent to catch it and point it to the ref.
There is a BIG difference from being an asshole and being a cheat.Originally Posted by skipper
I could be a huge asshole in the pit. For example, if my dog was doing well (and they usually did, lol), I would say, "I thought you said your dogs have talent?", etc.
But I have NEVER been a cheat. My ego, and HONEST desire to see WHICH DOG truly is superior won't allow it.
I don't have a big match career, but I have rolled with many of the best dogmen from a lot of different states.
When checking my dogs, if my dog can't legitimately beat your dog, then I need to know that in order to breed dogs capable of winning.
No way in hell would I be satisfied with a bullshit win OR with a dog that needed one.
But if my dog is kicking your dog's ass, then (sorry) you might have to listen to some shit

LOL I'm pretty much the same. Unless your a friend. Then i'm very pleasant to deal with. That is if i would be fighting dogs. Witch i'm obviously not.
Ok so you would give your dog a bump in the corner when its his time to scratch. (every trick)
Considering that's a foul i don't think that would be very smart. But if you weren't good enough to pick up on it, sure why not?
Why not?
The reason is called INTEGRITY. Because, without that, a person isn't worth a squirt of piss IMO.
And the act of "cheating" (if you think you can get away with it) means you have no integrity, so I am surprised you feel this is okay.
As the great philosopher Democritus correctly observed 500 years B.C.:
"True virtue lies not in merely 'avoiding' wrongdoing, but in having no wish to do wrong."
I have absolutely no desire to harm your dog by foul ... nor to cheat you out of your money ... but I have every desire in the world that my dog kick your dog's ass and/or pound him into submission on his scratches.
Yet, after it is over, I will do everything in my power to help you save your dog. And I would only deal with people who think likewise.
But hey, if my dog can't pull it off, and your dog gets the best of mine (by honest means also), then I will simply take my hat off and give you and your dog the credit you both deserve.
I have way too much pride for ANY other outcome than these ... Period.
