It was a bad setup, period. BUT who in the dog game haven't made some wrong choices. We live and learn. That setup may have been his first setup. But one thing for sure, its his dog and he did what he wanted to with it. If he bought, bred him its his hound to do what he wanted to with it. I don't know him and am not a fan o the blood but if he tied him o a clothes hanger and got away with it then that's his choice. BOTTOM LINE.
