The forfiet was paid for personal reasons, Balboa camp also paid a forfiet too. As for Omar they came a calling for Tietre and Omar DOA'd the one who lost to. Tietre last was one was into Bulldog, but like you said everyone is not going to agree a very dog one got it and thats a fact. Yis Ole Man
The editor of the current SDJ is from Central/South East Europe and it's definitely not TCF's C. L. He has had Bulldogs in the past as he mentioned in SDJ issue June 2012 "Editor's Corner". Whether he is a dog man I don't know. If I remember right he once wrote that he doesn't own a bulldog for now. I like the magazine he publishes and think the editor has a good sense of humour. I also don't know of any other current "game dog magazine" on our beloved breed. If one doesn't like it just don't buy it or advise your suggestion to the editor, he can be reached through e-mail and is open to any constructive critic as he anounced in his magazine.
The choice for "dog man of the year" or "dog of the year" is always subjective as is the choice for what's good or bad in general.
Damn I didn't want to get philosophical.
Let's get this straight because it's kind of obvious that some of you don't have a clue how this works! The DOY award is not a matter of opinion. It is solely based on information PROVIDED for the magazine. It's a simple STATISTICAL FACT. J.K. used this same method of calculation since 1993, in fact, he was the one who explained me how to do it. Maybe there were better dogs, but their shows were NEVER REPORTED, thats all! It's like waiting to win the lottery when you haven't bought a ticket...oh, and you're right: LC is NOT CL!
Thank you for explaining how the awarding of D.O.Y. works. While we're on it, does the awarding of "dog man of the year" work the same as who has accomplished the most wins, shown the most dogs?
By the way will you release a SDJ year book 2013? If yes will it be full colour?
Yes, the dogman of the year award is based on a very similar criteria, however it means more then just wins...it's more about what one did for the breed! There will be a "best of 2013" book, and yes, it will be full color!
thnx for clearing it up. no disrespect intended.
No offense taken
Will the "best of 2013" book literally be a best of all only or will it be like the "SDJ Complete Year 2010, 2011,..." books you had published in recent years which were a wrap-up of all the 12 issues published in that particular year?
As far as C. L.'s stories are concerned. Two stories come to my mind when I think about stories written by C. L. One is on Gr. Ch. Chilindrina, the other one is on Gr. Ch. Bruno Boy. I can't tell you how much I have enjoyed reading them both. They have not been just a stringing together of their accomplishments but more like autobiographies on these particular dogs with some back round information as well. He describes what's going on before, around and after the show. People, travelling, life's hurdles, etc. Also I like his style of writing. Plus I think there are not too many dog people out there taking the time and effort to write anything at all, let alone come close the quality of his writings. It would be nice when more premier league dog man would write such nice long stories. Maybe then SDJ would not typically flood their magazine with stories by C. L.So as for me I'm looking forward to read another interesting story by C. L. Not flattery intended.

LMAO, I have taken more "time and effort" to write/create more truly helpful articles/videos/books/mags/products and APBT resources than Chico will ever dream to create and provide in his lifetime.
And not just self-stroking articles about "my" dogs, but all kinds of APBT resources that actually help ALL owners--and I have been doing this before Chico ever petted a bulldog ... and long after Chico's Tito Trinidad quit to my Ch Vengence
Don't know how many of my articles here, on this database, that have been copied-n-pasted and added to SDJ's magazine (since he first asked me if he could over a year ago) ... but I do hope SDJ is at least gives me the credit for writing them ... and places a full-page ad for each issue of his mag that he runs one ... like he promised to ... for my telling him he could go ahead and do so.
