Hi. The rules directly state no dog has to scratch into a dead dog.

The whole point of the Cajun rules (scratching), as opposed to just leaving them down until 1 is dead, is to AVOID death.





The referee can't "declare a winner" if two dogs are still fighting, but if one dog is gone and just being dragged around the pit dead, he can declare a winner like that.

In any case, anyone leaving his dog down to die isn't exactly the height of "class" and "sportsmanship."

Thanks for the reply. I've read a couple versions of the Cajun rules and can't seem to find where it says a dog doesn't have to scratch to a dead dog or where it says the referee can declare a winner. Can somebody post the version of the rules that states that?

I agree with sportsmanship and leaving a dead dog down is not sportsmanship. I believe when your kills another dog in the square it's done exactly what it's come to do, anybody that would try cheat that dog out of the win through cheap tricks is a low life. You need to know when your beat and do right by your animal.

You're going to have to look in one of the older, physical books.

Back in the 90s there were several sites with the original rules.

I just looked around now, too, and all the 'modern' online versions seem to have this omitted, which is bullshit.

Check one of the Stratton books, or any of the older books, that contain a conscientious rendering of the rules, not one of these modern bubble-gum sites.
