true, that's why I can only speak for myself cuz we all have different views right or wrong. I didn't read all the comments to see where this thread has gone. my post was for the dog in the original post. I wouldn't call another mans dog a cur if it hasn't quit. I can only control what I feed and really only know my own dogs. there are some weird dogs though. it's ultimately up to the owner who knows him best.Originally Posted by EWO
Plenty of game dogs fought a "cur style" but that doesn't make them a cur. Plenty of curs never made a bad sign before they stopped either.
Bobby Smith and I were going to match a little gambler's delight once, but we parted ways before it happened. He was a B grade ability dog that we had proved deeply game, but he screamed from the words "release your dogs". He was really screaming for the fight, not because of it. To the unknowing spectator it didn't sound good! The plan was for Smith to come in on my side and then start betting against me on the scratches. The show would be in front of a lot of people so we could spur others into the same bet and clean house whether we won or lost.
theres a big difference in a winning dog and dog who was picked up before it could cur out.
I was trying to figure the best way to say that as well. There are a few dogs down the road from me that chase cars religiously. I believe with every fiber of my being they will get hit by a car, but until they actually get hit, they are still chasers. I do not know they will get hit but based on my experience odds are they will eventually be hit. A silly comparison I know, but no matter how bad they look until they actually hang it up they are still on the right side of the measuring stick. EWO
Mistyped, misstated...Missed SOMETHING...
I think what frosty is saying is he does not like to feed dogs that make those signs, weather they have quit or not. I think most people can attest to that but it can be harder to see for some when they love or think the world of their dog.
That is correct BH. Having fed dogs that did that kind of thing for some years, I found that more times than not those particular dogs hung it up, and they looked very shitty doing it. Again, it comes down to what a person can live with. Some people can live with funky acting, turning, cur snapping, and squealing dogs. I, on the other hand, cannot.
Very true. Like I mentioned earlier we lost to one just like that and she was bought pit side for $$$$. I was told I was hatin' when I said she was a cur looking for a spot to check up. I guess I was misspoken/misstated or did not explain there was a difference between actual fact and what I believed. I said she was a cur. But, like in a lot of cases, freak mouth hides a lot if that is all one is seeing. We got bit down, felt we had a solid game dog, picked up and she produced a couple for us some years later. The dog I was hatin' on checked up in a matter of minutes on her next venture. Just seeing her that one night for forty or so minutes I thought she would cur, thought she was a cur or she had cur tendencies. Any of these would make me not want to feed her. EWO
