And the same in return.

Another 'story' to add to my point. I had a male at 41. A friend came down from the mountains of NC with the next great Mayday/Barracuda dog. 10-11 minutes in and he decided he had a great candidate for a stud dog. When it came time to show we showed up only knowing we had picked up a weight. The guy from the mountains saw him and immediately told his friend to pay the forfeit. I was pissed. Young and stupid to boot, then add in a few too many beers.

The next two dogs were going for the CH at the same weight. I watched these to go for for $$$$$$. They were good dogs. I simply thought, and then said out loud with my 41, if we drop them at 9, at 9:30 let me wipe his mouth out and then send the next one and we will all be on the way home by 10:15, 10:30 at the latest.

I was completely disrespectful and made sure to apologize at the first opportunity.

I later sold that dog and he went into the back yard of the two dogs that met for a title and $$$$$. I got a phone call that said, "you didn't lie".

He was that good.

I saw what was considered to be the best with the best and simply thought mine was better. In 30 plus years I have never seen the time when I had $$$$$$ to ride on a dog. regardless of the dog.

I'm biased and maybe sometimes a little jealous. LOL
