Bert Sorrells' Stuff

What happens when an ear dog faces a cropped dog. Would he still be interested that much on the same spot and are there any disadvantages for the cropped dogs when they face an ear dog. I remember something about the nerves or vessel being more exposed. Sorry for the off topic man, lol.
Indeed all video of Silver are recorded, they can be ordered at dvd but im trying to get some uploaded.

What you are saying is true for the average ear dog ... who just grabs the ear itself and/or who stands directly in front of the other dog.

However a good ear dog doesn't just grab the ear, and he damned sure doesn't stand directly infront of a dog. Instead, he grabs the whole side of the head, from about 3" above the ear, to about 3" below it, and he absolutely clamps it all together like a vise, getting deep into the flesh of the head. When you face a dog like that, who is athletic and intelligent ... and who places himself perpendicular to the opponent ... especially if he has a HUGE, STRONG neck ... that opponent is never going to get there. I have watched it happen too many times to count.

Please understand that I make a distinction between "a dog on the ear" and a true Ear Specialist
Just think about the fact that a truly good ear dog can control a 200 lb animal with an ear hold, how easy it is for him to control something his own weight.


However, against an average dog "on the ear" I completely understand what you're getting at.

The AC/DC's Diablo POR is one of the pups from the Park Son x Zackitha breeding that I'm currently basing everything around. Jack has done a great job of selling everyone on the idea of basing blood on litters, when you can, over individuals. I agree with him 100%. I bred this litter. I kept 3 and the other 3 were placed where I knew about them. Calley, the only female, I kept. Along with Skeeter and Scabber. Scabber and Skeeter were evaluated straight up. I kept what I considered the best dog in the litter, in Skeeter. I sold Scabber to Dmitry of AC/DC Kennels. He informed me after about a month, "I don't know about this Scabber." I did inquire and he informed me that the hog he was on had hit a bleeder so they ended it. I assured him, he payed for a good dog. He came back a month after that to inform me that Scabber had DOA'd "the best hog I've ever owned in 7 minutes". He renamed him Diablo and built an entire kennel and reputation off of that single dog. Worked great with the Limey stuff as well as many other lines. Just some more history of a dog in the pedigree of a great dog.

That is what it's all about: seeing something that really hits the bullseye and then basing everything you do on "making more of it"

dude do you guys dock your dogs' tails over there?

dude do you guys dock your dogs' tails over there?

iv asked for you. all dogs born on his yard are docked and ears are cropped for match dogs. it seems to be his image, maybe some kind of superstition
some do it (not pera) because the weight difference of 200 gr,lol.
but it's not normal to do it around here, maybe a very few people from the balkan area.

[R2L]

No, but maybe pera likes it.

[Officially Retired]

No, but maybe pera likes it.

Wow, looking at it, it does seem like his tail is docked.

Curious, R2L, if you ever saw the Dendy dog go (or Silver for that matter)?

BTW, Gr Ch Robert T had the same kind of record as Silver ... he beat two Grand Champions and two 4xWs (winning 9x total) ... and he, like Silver, finally lost to another Champion when he was matched at 9 years old.

Robert T's record is very impressive as well!
