Exactly, too many times we as dogman get caught up in "caring" for the dogs, or in the rough end of it, and forget just to have fun and enjoy our dogsOriginally Posted by trajan337
I loved it Jack, there is nothing like watching these animals have pure fun. To be honest, I wasn't a big fan of Silverback based on pedigree but I like what I see in his pups.And that was a beautiful narration.
I will say this though, the only way you couldn't have been a "big fan" of Silverback is based on an inaccurate "imagination" you created in your head, confusing whatever it is you invented there with the reality that he is a phenomenal athlete of this highest order. And if you ever seen Ouch go, you would have liked the old boy, and if you ever seen Missy go it would hard to be satisfied with too many bitches after you'd seen that.
As far as pedigree goes, Silverback is triple-bred on a DG SDJ Cover dog in Ch Hammer, who was out of an all-game litter, so I don't see what is not to like about that. There may have been a couple dogs behind Ouch that weren't all that, but hell that could be said for Redboy (whose granddaddy quit), Red Baby (who's mama quit) Honeybunch (whose daddy quit), etc. Don't let an inaccurate painting you made-up in your head allow you form pictures or ideas that have nothing to do with reality. The reality is, I had over 80 dogs 4 years ago, and when I let the vast majority of my yard go, to pair down to 10 dogs, Silverback was the male I kept for a reason

Yes it is! It is good for their attitudes, it is good for their souls, it is good for their socialization, and it is good for us too--to enjoy our dogs on a different level than just keeping and feeding them too.
Glad folks liked the humorous narrative
