Bass' Tramp Red Boy (Wendell Martin's)

[EWO]

I will pass this post along to DTA. I'm not sure if he has an active account here or if he even checks it any more.

We tried to breed her to my Ozzie dog once, http://www.thepitbullbible.com/forum...p?dog_id=42272

She did not take. He was a heck of a little dog. I always felt we missed an opportunity there.

Agree on Mr. Mims and the sipping glass. Funny thing is, dogs get only a small percentage of the conversation, as he is a knowledgeable man in a lot of areas. Once we talked 45 minutes on the rubber boots in which boots are made. Got into Goodyear and how manufacturer's moved from their quality rubber to Asian sources for cost reduction. Boots just not the same. 45 minutes.

Short story long my cousin went to prison and in his work release he worked in a lumber yard. He had brains just let drugs get in the way. He eventually became a lumber grader. He worked in the SC area for a few years before on to Tenn. He says Mr. Mims is a legend in the wood industry down that way.

And a full grown man on top of that. He had some concrete bowls we bought once. A full 80lb. makes one bowl. He grabbed one in each hand like he picked up his lunch pail. I was a big boy and he was a bit older so I had to save face. I grabbed two as well. We walked about 30-40 yards. The third guy was a 'one at a timer'. Mr. Mims looked at me after about 8 trips and said, "You would have been good on a pulp wood truck". I think it was a compliment. Being 'a full grown man' may have helped with Mr. Bass as well, LOL.

Good post CYJ. I will pass that along. DTA and his Pops are planning to go to VJ's later in the summer. They want to stay a number of days because of the long drive. He told me they were coordinating three work schedules to make it happen. They ended up breeding that bitch to a winning heavy Snooty dog (Spike and some Middleton's Black Betty stuff) from the mountains of NC. I don't know much about him but they say he is a really smart, hard mouth face fighter. I will get a ped off the other site if I can find it.

Again, keep dropping that 'older' knowledge. Always a great read.
