Buck was a, great dog, in many ways.
The only thing I never really liked was his breeding.
What I mean with this is, what was his "true" breeding.
You need to know that for a little while I had buck (B4 J. of STP fame took him)
Alan W. had him before that, to make a, long story short.
When the dog was being campaigned, P.P. (Breeder) was told about certain events and his reply
was basically always the same Great breeding will produce you dogs like him. Well that went on, after the
second event, same thing same replies, but just before STP got him (which he saw him that night in fact) and I wasn't keeping him anymore, that event was again told to P.P. and he told ME "great breeding...sire, etc.." as this was now a respectable event that you were able to say it bordered on Championship quality announcements. Then all of a sudden
things changed, lol great breeding blah blah blah but the sire was really XYZ instead of ABC.
This still took nothing away from the dog's greatness, in fact STP actually went ahead and said I will only talk about what I saw him do, which in reality he was over his Official W count.
If you were someone dead set on papers and breeding he was not the dog for you but he sure was a dog to build a yard with.
I Prefer to know that
You can breed my dog to a telephone pole and you'll get game splinters... But some folks want to know from which forest the tree came from that brought us that pole.
