    if that was the case gnash why is a top

    dog man patching up a beaten dog and going threw all the rigmarole getting it back mate 

    Because two men can watch a fight and see totally different things!

    A deep game dog, from blood you like, proven in front of your own eyes is worth more than a thousand tales…

    Impressive looking dogs. 
    I would think they have about 3 minutes of air between them. 

    Were not talking about a Rouks Drift type canine battle here, with waves of coyotes attacking at intervals. 


    A family (pack) of coyotes will surround their prey, nip, bite and run when they have to. 
    Sheer numbers and aggressive behaviour allow them to take down animals much larger than themselves. 

    LGD’s are just large dogs. 
    They can be surrounded and killed like any other dog. 
     

    Have a great day!

    Didn’t happen. 
    LGD’s are big powerful animals than can give and take a lot of punishment if needed, but several (3 or 4) committed coyotes would tear most of them apart.  
    An LGD’s job is to deter an attack, not throw down gladiator style and kill waves of attacking coyotes. Lol

    sorry for all the question most been silly but in boxing you can become a champ by not taking fights that might be a bit to close so they stick to easier ops did this happen with the bulls, i mean did certain dogs get ch recognition but take an easy route.

    For sure they did. 
    A guy would watch a roll and see something, then challenge the owner who thought he had a good one. 
    Most of the time it was an easy win. 
    Some were open to anyone that wanted some. 
    Some guys would travel, others wanted home advantage. 
    It was all part of the game. 
    Real knew real.

    Just lost the whole reply to this…

    try again. Lol

     

    I had mixed up Klogger with Buzz( brain fade). 
    I met the Buzz dog in his latter days. A well known dog for sure. 
    The Domino dog was owed by the same guy that owed Dillon, he told me he was down from Nelis, but unsure of the rest. 
    I didn’t mention my gyp quitting as any detriment to the Nelis line, as I admired the whole Nelis, Spike, Alligator blood. Just speaking honestly about my gyp. 
    That blood sure could fight.

    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 spring to mind and of course Klogger....Jacko of course was one of them soulless individuals that wanted to eat the opponent alive in front of your eyes but being a Spike/Nelis/Tug fan most memories start and end in the same family.

    I agree. 
    I only use the handles they have used publicly. 
    All have moved on, some passed on. 
    No one that I know owns a real bulldog now. 
    Good to hear the old stuff being mentioned now and again.

    was it the case of a better handler/keeper been the difference between two dogs as in my dog is more talented but he gets his a little bit better at the right time and beats me.

    Sometimes yes, sometimes no. 
    Give me a GAME dog that can breath and 9x outa 10 we take your money.

    Was the Dillon dog you mentioned down from Klogger?

     I owed a gyp down from Nelis thru Will cap’s Domino. Really nice type that quit at 40 minutes after asking for more that she had. 
     

    The best (gamest I ever had) where down from a PP bitch, direct from his yard, also the stuff down from Carrs Bullit. 
     

    Far away days….

    I have read, (and enjoyed) but tried to keep out of this thread, as game dogs create an itch that can’t be scratched. 
     

    The UK scene had many great contests. 
    When two the sons of Ried’s Skipper met, Scotsman’s Max v Priests Iron Billy. 
    Yarrakin had enough faith to travel a long way with his charge and challenged a champion, Curstopper v Ch Sunny.

    The fireworks that the Nelis x Tug combination created, which Gnasher has alluded to, and lesser know individual dogs, that made their name in the trenches, little known maybe, but appreciated by those that witnessed their work, dogs like Billy Broken Tail, Scar and his brother the Dentist and the best ear dog I’ve ever seen on two continents, the Compo dog, who rarely had a tooth in him such was his abilities. 
    Another time, another world almost…much admiration, no regrets

  15. The Gulag Archipelago

    in General Talk

    Posted

    We read “A day in the life…” in school in northern England in the 70’s. 
    At 14 yrs old it gave me a realization that government was corrupt. 
    Many years later I read and then listen to “The gulag..” Solgenitzin(sp) was an incredible author/story teller, and all round brave individual. 
    Anyone that wants to further their education should read his works. 
    His thought on how the people should have reacted to the secret police are as relevant now as they were then.

    Supposed to be two more days.  
    My biggest concern is for my meat rabbits and broiler chickens.  
    Im pouring water into the ground in shade areas, to give them a place to lay and cool down for a few minutes. 
    seems to be working so far.  
    One litter of kits aren’t moving much, I’ve had a fan on them for a few hours each day.

    Killing heat!

    We aren’t doing anything that we don’t have too. 
    Trying to keep livestock and dogs alive, fresh cold water and moving them to shade. 
    38c for the last three days, very little cool down over night. ?

    in Hunting Book's

    Posted · Edited by PMul

    I've been considering selling my working dog library.

    I have most of the popular titles, Just wondering what their worth.

    A few of them are,

    • Bullyson and his sons (1&2)
    • Dogs of Velvet and Steel
    • Thirty years with Fighting Dogs
    • The Colby book (can't remember the title)
    • Rocca's books (As above)
    • All of Plumbers (the original print)

    Lots of other titles, Hounds, Country pursuits etc.

    Anyone interested?

    Make me an offer.

    If you are using them for in-depth conditioning the slat mill and the E mill do not condition the dogs the same. The slat mill will teach your dog how to control its heart rate as well as avoid heat walls where as the E Mill won’t do this. 

    Agreed.

    That's why I suggested getting a flit pole (cheap fishing rod) as well.

    IMO (if done right) the e mill will put a solid bottom under your dog, the flirt pole is there to increase the heart rate and get the dog used to control his breathing.

    A trainer should be careful not to hurt their dog with either.
