I understand where you are coming from, good and valid points.

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

I've recently began to travel to Japan and SE Asia. There are respectable camps out there with bulldogs? Would love to be able to get an exclusive interview with some dogmen from out there.

That would be great if you could pull it off. A great read.


My brother in law's brother lives near Rio. He moved there in the early 60's with the tobacco industry. Let's say, "He invested well".

I went there in the mid 90's and tied the family trip to the Fila Brasileiros. We travelled to Sau Paulo, on ehe had farms near there and two, it is the home of the Fila.

I saw a couple with pit bulls and when I tried to talk to them about the dogs I found out people are the same from all over the world, "He ain't from 'round chere". You can change the dialect but you can't change the language.

Set stuff up in advance. I can't imagine you can pop up as a stranger and talk dogs. LOL

Even though the sport is huge in East Asia it's still underground and unless you have a foot in the door, it will be hard to get someone to speak openly about it.

As it should be.....every else included.
