Bulldog In Peace
V.J. lived in Florida for a good while. Through him, I got to know Mr. Davis and his combine group of dog men. Mr. Davis was one of the first dog men of his time to bring the Carver dogs to the fore front. Mr. Davis set a different standard of conditioning from the older methods used by Mr. Teal and dog men of Mr. Teal's era.
Mr. Davis did not dry his dogs out and brought them in with some back on the dog. He liked the old Carver crosses to the Eli blood along with some Ed Crenshaw crosses as well. Mr. Davis along with J. Holcomb/ R. Hyde/ J. Crenshaw among others. Got in on the ground floor of obtaining those earliest breeding's that M. Carver made. These dogs had a inner strength like a dieseling engine with that low lugging power.
Mr. Davis' dogs were very powerful, hard mouth, foul type styles that took out a opponent dog fast. He took on some of the best dog men of his day and won many good matches. My condolences to his family.
I don’t know if I agree with a lot of drying out and thinning down. I have cut weight before. I felt like shit and it was worst match I had been through. I cramped early and lost to a guy i was better than because i was weak and my back was locking up. I would have been better off staying in the higher division staying strong and hydrated. I would have liked to talk to him and mayfield.
Drying is an art in itself.
It may be the biggest asset a dog can have when done correctly and accurately. When off by even a hair, things go south quick.
EWO
I bet.
