What up peps in y'all opinion where does CH Emmitt rank among the all time greats? In my opinion I think it's one of the most game and best producing of the Bolyes type blood ever!! I have the blood crossed with heavy inbred redboy and she is hell on wheels lol
I think when you look at the last 15-20 years, if you mention dogs who are all around great dogs or even just great producers. There has been a slew of dogs that deserve mention in the top Ranks and I'm not sure Emmitt cracks that top 10 of all time ranks but if you got from last 15-20 he meets it. Even when you think of last 15 years you got dogs like GrCh Awesome Beast who probably heads that list with Blackjack and Big Red and so on and so forth. I think if you narrow it to just greatest "Boyles bred" type dogs, Emmitt is top 5 but in my opinion he could be #1 if Ch Chino ROM isn't in the discussion. Even though Mann is the one who bred Chino, I believe most would call him a Boyles dog. Back to the topic Emmitt is a Ch for one, a true Ch and nobody is saying he was the baddest Ch to walk the planet but he definitely earned his rank. Then you look at his production, I remember when I visited SunShine state years ago and spoke with them boys. If not mistaken it was believed he had about 7 Ch's if not more. Not sure how great or bad his % was, but from what we had seen it was a lot more usable dogs then it was trash. When I say usable I just mean dogs you could comfortably place a bet on. As we have all seen at some point in time, you just never know what a hound is going to do on a certain night, but the ones we seen we felt that dog is worth a bet at least 4:1 ration. As well as the Champions he produced he had 3 GrCh Retard, Demon & Wacko (unfortunately lost his status) as well as one recognized ROM dog 44 ROM. Now just a question, to see if anybody else has heard this rumor, I can't say for sure who had started the rumor bug or how honest they were or what proof but there was mention of Ch Jethro ROM being off Emmitt. Again I'm not going to start that rumor up but a friend of mine, who likes Jethro dogs jokingly but with seriousness said to me that it could make sense but at the same time he said Sparky wasn’t the highest % producer and that Jethro was throwing the same way. When you got a good one, you had a good one, and when you got junk, it was a lot of junk.
I agree crazyred for sure top 5 boyles blood if not #1 and like u said the % of action dogs are very high no complaints I have bred her 2 time and over 50% of the pups love the action the rest are still hot themselves very happy with the blood but hv not heard that about jethro
I honestly never liked the Emmitt dog.
I lived right down the road from the guy who owned him, was given an opportunity to breed to him for free, but never did. Why? Because none of the dogs off Emmitt ever got passed mine in schooling sessions, that's why. Those dogs got out-smarted and beaten to the punch every time, except when Bandana spotted one bitch 5 lb and was on a down dog and in her kidneys in :05. Now I have to admit that bitch bit hard, and Bandana was bleeding bad, but damn, that Emmitt bitch couldn't take a forward step to a 5-lb smaller Coca Cola bitch ... and if they would have been the same size it would have been animal cruelty .. so thanks, but no thanks, to that blood.
The same guy owned Gr Ch Sparky, at the same time, and I did breed to the Sparky dog, as I really heard a lot of good things about his gameness. I only got one pup and that was out of Screamer, and the bitch (Pantera) grew up to be an awesome specimen of a dog.
As far as Jethro being off of Emmitt, no way. Sure they were both black dogs, but if anyone has eyes to see they both had completely different builds. Emmitt was a stocky dog with short legs and threw all kinds of dogs, appearance-wise (brown, red, black, etc.) By contrast, Sparky was pure black dominant and prepotent as hell in throwing "himself" ... and you could just see Sparky in 99% of his pups. Even the one bitch I got out of Sparky and my Screamer was a spittin' image of Sparky and looked nothing like Screamer. And you can see that in Jethro too.

WOW! now I have never heard anyone bad mouth Emmitt like that but there is a 1st time for everything ! Now I have heard not enough mouth and the size that can be fixed with the right breeding. Now how was that dog bred up u schooled with that did make the your cut if u don't mind MR Jack?Quote:

You're right. Mouth is easily fixed ... but lack of speed, timing, reflexes, intelligence, and deep gameness are not.Quote:

In fact, those boys were trying to match Ch Roy Jones Jr. himself into a Ch son of my Ruby bitch (OTC's Ch Tank), but after those rolls and going 0-4 with me, they never made that match ;)Quote:

So what may be "awesome" to one man, might not make the grade to another man's yard ;)
Now then, I know many of those dogs won titles, and some of them were very good, so I take my hat off for their earned record and nothing can take that away from them. I can only speak for my own experiences and what I saw. The dogs were solid in a lot of respects, but not in the respects I personally like most. To each his own.

PS: My Sparky daughter was a truly badass bitch :D
The wow was because u had a chance to use some dif ch/rom blood for free and u did not even do it to see what wld happen cld have made some of the best dogs ever but will never know. But sounds like you run some of the best blood in the world so I guess u did not need it. But u right to each is own I have my blood in NC,NY,SC,Fl,and MI and they love it!! But like u said each yard is different.
You're right, every yard is different. And just because some dogs of a line don't do well, doesn't mean others aren't excellent. Other times, what wins all the time "out there" against regular animals can't quite get the job done when facing a uniform yard of head specialists ;)
At the end of the day, I just didn't see a single trait in any of the dogs I saw that I wanted to add to what I had. Sure, "the cross" may have proven explosive, and it was explosive with the Sparky dog I did breed to. Pantera was a world class bitch.
I feel u broQuote:
