I try to only talk about what I have seen and on occasion I will repeat something from first hand (which usually gets the 2nd and third rendition going and by the facts are no longer a primary concern.
By only going off what I have seen it has kept me limited in a lot of ways. I'm one of those really dumb guys that have to see it to appreciate it. For that reason alone I have missed out on a lot of good dogs, simply weary of pulling the trigger (and cheap on top of that as well).
I wish I could talk CYJ into spending more time on the board. He is one of the last great links to yesteryear. He has seen and put his hands on the dogs 99% of the game read about and talk about. Not many can say that. This is a guy that has been in the same room with Snooty and said he looks like shit, you should pay up. He saw the great Molly Bee break a dogs muzzle in half. He could give you possibly the best account on the origins of Red Boy. He played a huge role in the great Hank dog, which led to to Jocko dog which led to one of the most important crosses in the history of the dogs.
That should be a primary topic of conversation. Things that someone has actually seen or done, not perpetuating the next great story.
Think about the last show you saw. Two guys in the box. Two dogs in the box. And a ref. Then there are 20-30 standing out side the box that and all of them have/had one that went up hill 10lbs on a 2XW, stopping him in 17 minutes with blood on the floor and guts on the wall. RIP of course.
One thing that I have learned in these dogs is that all the killers are at home on the night of the show, except for two!
