Redboy / jocko has made more dead game dogs !

[EWO]

It was an awesome thread that waged on for weeks. It is five years old and I just re-read large parts of it. I still have the same opinion. It was an awesome statement, regardless of how accurate it turned out to be. If advertising bulldogs was smart it would be a great tag line on the cover of a magazine.

I was never a Red Boy Jocko fan. When I was cutting my teeth on these dogs they were Jocko-RedBoy dogs as Jocko was the dog doing the do at the time. In time the popularity of Red Boy took over and then they were RBJ dogs.

In the past few years I have seen where a number of RBJ dogs crossed with the Mims dogs are getting it done. Really impressive as well.

End of the day Mr. Waccamaw made a really cool statement.

I have enjoyed this board for quite some time. I re-newed to track down a guy I owed for a dog. Now that I have re-newed the best thing about the board is the pictures and the pictures of breedings.

Other than that, it is quite boring.

I think over the next few days I will breach some of the older subjects and maybe a few new ones.

I'm not trying to be the savior of the bulldog forums but for the next few weeks I will have a lot of time in the recliner and I am not that watch that much TV.

Maybe even convince CYJ of making another run on here. He is a guy with a life time of knowledge, real knowledge, first hand accounts of dogs 98% just have the chance to read about. Not to call on his 'seniority', but he has been around the block a time or two, the block most of us dreamed we grew up on. I'd pay his subscription if he'd chime in once or twice a week. I'd still get the better part of the deal.

I still check the boards. I thought I had died. I have just been looking up test breedings on the pedigree tool. Oh yea. I had my first litter of pups. Been busy with them.

This would be great. Your absolutely right snails pace around here yet somehow still worth the $30.
Been trying to get some friends and associates to join but they seem stuck on that peds online crap.

I'd like to get some discussions going. I hate that the talk died down on here. I have some things I'd like to discuss.

Post away.

The statement is probably true but if 85 percent of the dogmen are using rb/Jocko it should be true. it would take a equal ratio of bloodlines to compare to say for sure.jmo

For me, it was a great catch phase because it can be interpreted two ways. One, RB/J dogs themselves have more dead game dogs and/or two, by going into a RB/J dog if your dog is game, he indeed will be dead game.

I never put much thought into whether either one was accurate or not. I just thought it was a cool statement.

I think I posted it before, if you were selling these dogs with a billboard, it would be about the best advertisement tag line.

What was Chavis like?

[EWO]

A little before my time. I never met him. The dog that made him famous was his half of the Red Boy-Jocko dogs, the Ch. Jocko dog.

Back when I was a kid they were referred to as Jocko-Red Boy dogs as Jocko was the half of the breeding that was getting it done. For whatever reason, the Red Boy popularity sky rocketed over the years and in time they became Red Boy-Jocko dogs.

If someone can get CYJ to log on for this topic he can answer this question way better than most any one else.

A bulldog story......There was a dog named Cotton. He was owned by a guy just getting started in the dogs. He listened well and received a lot of help in the first show. Cotton won impressively. When Cotton came back out for #2 his new owner 'did not want help' as he had mastered the dogs. He bought a mill. The keep comprised of the dog running the mill for as long as the 12 pack and a couple of joints would last. On show night Cotton was nothing more than a dish rag. He got drug. The guy looked over and told his corner man I f%^&Ked Cotton up and it was a silent nod in agreement. Cotton made a game scratch and it was all he had. On the other dog's scratch Cotton had nothing left. The other dog toed the line.

On the ride home the first hour was how he regretted f'ing up a good dog. The second hour of the drive after 12 more cold ones, maybe ol' Cotton was not the dog they thought. On the last hour Cotton was a cur and it took the show to find it. The other guy on the driving said he would buy Cotton, his collar, his barrel, his chain and his axle for $300. Cotton was bought just before they got home.

Cotton was put back out there. Mr. Chavis picked the weight up and told everyone he knew that Cotton had nothing left in #2 and did not think he would be all that on his next trip out. He called twice a week to let the new owner know he would be waxed and waxed in short order. He was quite confident and quite full of himself. I always wondered if the confidence was in his dog or the fact Cotton did not show well in #2.

Cotton showed up, in condition, shaped by one of the best ever. Cotton changed Mr. Chavis' mind about a lot fo things that night.

The only information I have.
