    " thin on the ground ".....theres your answer.....some bloodlines that carried not even a tenth of the number of Reid dogs have aged and been preserved like a fine wine yet the Reid dogs were left to go to ruin. Some people dont look further than the end of their nose its like Jeep being a 17 point rom dog, so what the dog was lined to literally thousands of bitches over his lifetime,compared to a 7 point rom who only bred 7 bitches ....it doesnt take a brain surgeon to work out which the better producer was !! I've always said that the ROM list would be more credible if it was done

    Sure enough.A mate of mine visited one of the big name yards a few years ago and reckoned the dogs didnt have names they had number tags on their collars.

    Not sure id call it a fact...its certainly a bold statement and an opinion id respect but not agree with personally. Yeah but you southern mob from the big smoke never did give the jocks the respect they deserved Not everyone.......i just never understood how the work of some good dogmen created glory for somebody who never worked a dog in his life....im certainly not about to get into arguments that still go on 30 years later but the reality is Reid marketted a " brand " very well but was never any more than a business/shop and as such luck played a huge part in his success lets face it the

    I'd like one of them if they were a bit bigger.

    Cockers don't smash every bit of cover they come to they hunt on scent.

    Stafford or terrier cross? Terrier cross mate, looked like a big bull plumber lol but was a good worker I know the bitch you are on about.I had it offered to me but turned it down as I knew the sire to it (absolute garbage)And it had more bull than terrier in its makeup.

    Nuttal bred.

    They weren't bred back to beenie to start his line been ie was brought in a lot later after his line was already established.To be honest I dont know why D brought the beenie blood in as the last thing the line needed was another infusion of bull blood.

    Got a mate who's caught a couple.He reckons they are no sport for any half decent 22inch plus lurcher.

    excelled at ratting and digging?

    To be fair a large percentage were/are useless fullstop.

    Think unless there's line breeding, all lines are corrupt after outbreeding Exactly,I would go as far as saying there is no pure wheeler dogs anymore.
  16. downsouth
    All I can say is that wheeler blood must be strong as you can cross it 3 or 4 times to completely unrelated dogs and the offspring will still be wheeler bred.

    Just goes to show that anything that comes out of Gouldys mouth should be took with a pinch of salt.

    If he had sold more to decent dogmen.we can all live on ifs and buts.

    To be fair 90% of the early stuff was just as s##t as what's about today especially a lot of the stuff that Reid was peddling to anyone who had cash in their pocket.The real good stuff was kept within small groups of fanciers just the same as it is today and was no different in size or build as what the proper stuff is today. Put it this way Reid bred some of the best Bulldogs this country has seen and that is a fact. When you think of the amount he was pumping out there was bound to be a couple of good ones.
  21. downsouth
    That just about hits the nail on the head.

    He told me that he was by spartacus and if you stood him with the stuff we had by spartacus they were like peas in a pod.

    Was your mate Paul H? Yes it wasThe dog you're talking about was the grandfather to the dog and bitch in my aviator.

    Below the belt that ORT .......... I think the chap is making a fair point. It seems grossly ignorant to me to be told to 'f**k off' for questing a person's motivation in visiting sick children. It seems to me that Hunting Life hero gnasher is guilty of using sick kids to increase his following on this forum. True acts of kindness should be performed quietly, not announced to the world to 'prove ' a person's 'cool dude, diamond geezer' online persona.We've just had the horror of a c**t like Jimmy Saville wandering hospital corridors at will. I thought lessons had been learned from that epi
