Much as the geezer probably deserved a clip its never a good look cheap shotting someone like that not only do you risk getting nicked but what have you actually achieved apart from chinning someone.....twisted as i probably am id of felt much happier with putting it on the geezer with a quiet " step outside with me " whisper in the ear and then either watching him melt into his shell in front of people or walking round the corner and getting a fair fight...both of which you dont get nicked for and are much more fun than clumping someone and then walking away without even an apology ?

My sister has suddenly become a vegan these last few years....she couldnt give a shit about animal welfare or hunting in her mind its purely about the health " benefits " ?.......ive spent hours arguing with her about it when the reality is the real reason shes now vegan is the birds f****d in the head and determined to be " cool & trendy "......simple.

My brains too scrambled to see how that looks on paper but all the dogs mentioned were good animals....wrong end of the country for me though.
-
Plenty of people picked their matches carefully one of the last dogs i was around in this country was from a litter containing 2 champions both of which had been into either Staffords,new lads on their first match or both !.....having seen the game in Europe later on i felt it was much more about the dogs and not peoples ego's and the quality of match ups reflected that in my opinion.

Without searching through stacks of old peds which i really cant be bothered to do i cant quite place those Nelis/Buzz matings.....i know you wasnt mate i was just being realistic i liked the family for several different reasons but outright gameness wasnt one of them they just suited my conditioning and i tend to think they crossed well on near every strain they was put to and as a family they stood the test of time.....but then as regards those Buzz dogs and all those other northern dogs Dillon/Sue/Sonny etc etc being a big Southern softie i preferred our own stuff ?
-
Dillon and Klogger were littermates....Cheyney was a son of Dillon ( if memory serves me correct ).....all them double Buzz dogs which seemed popular at the time. How was Domino bred ?.....in terms of quitters the Nelis blood didnt stack up particularly well but they were crafty calculated match dogs that suited s certain type of conditioning. Patricks stuff i was never really around too much though can fully appreciate the Tombstone/Bolio stuff that hit these shores.....indeed,good days.
-
It could be mate exactly....the best dog didnt always come out victorious and as a conditioner thats where you earned your keep so to speak.....agai, having a super fit dog often hid the fact he was a cur but he simply outlasted the gamer higher ability opponent.

Cracking little post boss its nice to hear another voice apart from my own monotonous tones !....i like to natter about the workings of the sport but slightly hesitant to discuss dogs or even the owners of dogs who having been out the game many years i have no idea what they're up to now but your first and last lines hit the nail on the head for me.....its an itch that cant be scratched but you come to terms with it and replace like for like......and another world,admiration but no regrets.....nicely put. As for some little known dogs under appreciated Dillon,Billy,Grizzly,Cheyney all spr

Pure out and out mental illness and an extremely disturbing sickness....if its a real thing.

You have to be constantly thinking about how a dog converts their energy from nutrients and it doesnt come from high protein and carbs,high protein and carbs leads to less oxygen and a lower red blood count....all bran is high carbs/low fat and should only be for the 4 week pre keep.....you are stripping out the internal fat and bringing the dogs weight down with carbs......at the end of the pre keep and the start of the real work the increase in performance comes when you ditch the carbs and increase the fat content....alternatively you can use brown rice instead of all bran but it has to be

Far be it from me to advise anyone on birds theres plenty folk on here who know more than me but if you think breeding 600 sov birds is easy you might want to make sure you can actually keep them alive first.....a chap i gave all my stuff to had nothing but heartbreak when he tried to step up from basic Canaries.

You'll get dogs who work differently you might get a defensive dog thats going to hold out on the ear and frustrate the other dog....you'll get the barnstormers that are just going to find their way to the chest or neck....you might get a stifle dog who works out that the other dog doesnt have the reach to pull him off...y...or yes you might just have a low ability dog who cant fight but still wants to win thats the beauty of gameness.....you'll get all types but you cant make a dog fight in any other way than what he knows theres no sparring....every contact a dog has takes out of him so you'

No Mchull wormed and flead should be second nature all year round regardless,nobody should start any form of exercise with an unhealthy dog.....im talking about preparing a dog for hard work i used to pre keep a dog on a very low fat diet maybe cooked chicken,chicken broth,small cup of all bran,sometimes a couple cloves of chopped garlic...some folk used to say raw garlic was slightly toxic and was too hard on the dogs stomach lining but i found if you cooked it there was no problem and it was a natural anti inflammatory. Getting rid of what we called the gut fat was essential to do befor

Forgive my ignorance Ken but is that actually classed as a Vivarium ?.....i know you have your background picture and im not entirely understanding what a diorama is but i just wondered if you had seen these resin 3d backgrounds you can get now some of them are really effective,great for a natural look to any aquarium/vivarium type thing.

Imagine being so bitter and poisonous that you could actually find fault in that whole day yesterday....unbelievable. The more i see of that William lad i like him i think he'll make a great chief if its all still about when his time comes.

? You gotta love people like that..... " heres a question i already know the answer to but unless i get a different answer im going to play victim " !! Or is this where we have to pretend all races are the same ?....in which case until i see special police forces set up in an African Carribean nations to specifically tackle white gun crime then no,im going to fully accept and acknowledge races are not the same ! Trident was set up 25 odd years ago to acknowledge racial differences....thats why it was so unpopular.

Nice read that was i couldnt " like " it for some reason....i think the pit bulls were addictive a lot of young lads of our generation had a healthy respect for their physical prowess and that was good enough for most i just happened to be one of them " in for a penny in for a pound types " ? I wasnt raised around dogs it was something i fell into in my late teens through having a few dubious associates a little bit older and wiser than me at the time....but from the minute i saw the dogs in action and spent time around them i was hooked and was like a sponge in my learning in every area

Stone me sorry to hear that mate...stick in there ?

I was clearing the garage out a while back and came across 3 black bin liners full of Journals and stuff i forgot i even had ! Back in the 80's/90's virtually as soon as your match was over you would send a match report in to the SDJ it was a Yank mag but internationally it was pretty much the only way you could see how other dogs and kennels from foreign countries were doing...........at the time you had to be vouched for so it was reliable but towards the end anyone could get it and you ended up having match reports sent in that had never even happened !

Very powerful display of class and dignity i thought....yanks must be sitting there saying " f**k me they know how to do things over there "....Britain and London came to the front and showed the world our pride,passion and power....just a shame tomorrow it'll be back to stabbings,shootings and showing how feeble we are again ! Watched most of it on telly and a few lumpy throat moments one that really caught me was outside Westminster Abbey,it was silent then the tv guy just referred to her as " this gentle christian soul ".....it really got me it was like he was describing a nice old lad

Just to be clear mate im not talking about loose line breeding which is what i think you are suggesting......im talking about a complete outcross of 2 inbred families of dogs....as in the sire will have no shared genetic heritage with the dam whatsoever but they are inbred dogs of their respective lines......i think within gamedogs anyway it can create a complete explosion of the genes.

Are Bristol Rovers relevant to The Premiership ?.....no they are relevant to the First Division.....im done you crack on Mr Mayfield.
-
It has its place mate.....as the descendants of that dog and other areas of his family who were even more inbred are testament to ?.....again though,runners...i have no idea or opinion.

Until recently id never owned or had part ownership of a Staffordshire Bull Terrier in my life i know very little about the breed and thought it might be nice to look at that museum.......but whatever you say keyboard coward.
