TFX, I have a question. Do you have any idea where I can get a couple of collars similar to the one that Bumper is wearing in that picture? I've searched and searched for some collars THAT wide, and everything I find comes up miserably short in quality.
Frosty,
I think you would have to make something like that. In my estimation, that thing is way too wide for working a dog. I like a 2" collar with a sheepskin fleece cover for working a dog, ala Don Mayfield. I always used one of those seatbelt covers over the collars and they work real fine.
Great stories and rundown, TFX, sorry I haven't been online much to comment.
I hope you don't mind, but I took the liberty of converting all of your pedigrees to this database
Cheers,
Jack
PS: As we have talked about, it would have been great to blend some of these core Reuben/Bad Billy-type dogs with Poncho and Missy (which are essentially Reuben/Hammer/Hollingsworth-type dogs). I think the Hollingsworth blood ads a certain rugged-durability that few other lines can match, which is also behind your Roto bitch.
Much thanks!Originally Posted by CA Jack

speaking about Mayfield collars, the above photo is from the guy known as gringopistolero in pitbull forums, student of Mayfield. The collar was given to him by his mentor.
This is now getting to be way off-subject, but that really is a handsome collar.
Are the Reuben dogs known to be stubborn barkers?
By God, some of them are!
Most of my stubborn barkers are actually my smartest and most-loyal dogs ... who only want to be in the house ... and are absolutely wonderful when they're the center of attention ... but are incredible pains in the ass when they're on a chain.
Others are rock-calm, period.

This is Smith & Walton's PB, who is the maternal grandsire to my CH Costello dog, and a direct son of Reuben to Kudo. Those of you who are familiar with Jack's line look at this dog who was born about 1986, and compare him to the CH Miagi dog. There is just a lot of similarity in them, a certain look that is very unique.
Wow never knew you were there to breed the dogs that produced Ch Shiver, and she is what % Poncho? I came up with 31.25% maybe my math is off. Congrats on YOUR dog CH Shiver
