All those Hammonds dogs you named were never ROM dogs until peds online. I don't know, for a FACT, they're not ROM dogs, but I'd be hard pressed to believe it seeing as how long the journal was up and running while Hammonds was breeding and selling dogs from those particular animals.
I used to have a video of Melonhead, it was of his one loss. He was still a good dog, but it was so obvious that he was old in that show, well past his prime.
Frosty, I do believe Rufus was on the register years ago.
How long did this match go? And did he need to be picked up?Originally Posted by TFX
Has it ocured to you ore popt up in your mind that the rezen MR H has been able to breed for so long, and never got a visit like boudraux/patrick and those others got!!. might be to do that he is 1 very carefull, 2 he never gets in volved on the internet ore partisiopated in magazines ,3 he breeds other breeds as wel , 4 people who fool around with his dogs hold there info back for a rezen!!>>>5 he is the most hounest breeder out there... Belive me those dogs are genuin..... Dont think there is one old time breeder left who has sutch a foundation of Carver/alligator dogs left as he has... Personaly i would NOT buy any dog from anybody besides our own in the USA. and if he hangs his gloves on. then i belive Ferg/NQK is up for the task to diliver...
what does keeping a lower profile have to do with people getting liberal with the ROMS/CHS on peds online? see it with Patrick dogs lately too.....
TFX, I knew Rufus was on the list, but I was talking about the others moreso than him.
Limey, be all that as it may, Gary will sell dogs to whomever has the money. I'm glad he never got a visit. I like the man personally, but that doesn't stop him from being what he is when it comes to bulldogs. In the end, it doesn't change the facts that none of those dogs are ROM dogs, aside from Rufus as TFX pointed out.
you are correct Frosty....I don't think a single Hammonds dog was ever "official" ROM except Rufus. Of course, imho, you'd have to be a fool to advertise anything such as this in a publication of any kind. I've heard GH say it many times, it would be akin to robbing banks and then publishing who's robbing what banks and what they got away with. Not smart at all.
Officially.....nothing to wonder about - never happened. Reality - it's real. Believe it, not, whatever. It really matters none to me as the officiality of any of this stuff. I know what I know and couldn't care less of what validates anything for others.
By no means do I take offense to anything you've typed here, as I respect your perspective tremendously.
Very well said Limey. Some of the best dogmen in Texas, with some of the best dogs in Texas, don't do a damn thing "officially. However, they have dogs all over the world winning left and right, but b/c it's not bragged about on the internet, locally or reported in a magazine for illegal activities, then it doesn't exist. That is fine by me. Truly is.
I recant anything about any ROM dogs pertaining to the Hammonds' dogs. Rufus is the only one on the list I believe, so we'll stick with that.
Limey, I want a shot at the Tonic you have. I have a couple of bitches, some old school, up close stuff, I want to try it on. They were quality animals in their prime and need to produce and I'd like to get all the help I can to ensure they take.
"Doesn't stop him from being what he is....."????
Exactly what "is he"?
You don't know him as well as you think. A man turns down 10's of thousands for a "unreported" ROM dog and he sells to whoever has the money?
Again, not bothering me except you speak about things, on this particular person, that you just don't know much about. It's unfortunate. I see it all the time with all these guys and their "ASSumptions" about dogmen they THINK they know.
That's fine
Sorry I asked about the production record of a bloodline on a bulldog forum.
I forgot, every single thing reflected in "The Journal" is fact. None of it's a fabrication.......couldn't print it if it weren't true huh???.....LOL
I'm out
