Can be interesting to hear, it is our human nature to see or hear some new thing whether right or wrong. In the majority of cases and situations will never prove much of anything. You my poor fellow and in your own way of thinking, may mean well. But you still are beating on a dead horse. It is over, that horse has died 40 to 60 years ago. The guys in my time era got over it, best do the same.
For example I listen to the taped conversation of Pat Patrick supposedly admitting he had changed some papers on a specific dog. This taped conversation is on the You tube.
Since there was some big bucks to be made. Patrick could have just told this supposed foreigner what he wanted to hear to make a dog sell. Instead of those guys thinking they were getting something over on Patrick. He may have went down to the bank with their money. Laughing all the way. What did he really care one way or the other, if he was going to make a dog sale for a good amount of money. Tell the guy what he want's to hear.
I have seen some dog sellers single register their puppies and dogs. Instead of litter registering them. You come asking for a certain specific breeding and all of that litter was sold. You still going to get a pup or dog just like the breeding you want. These guys have to sell all those puppies not just the choice few. That dog breeder can not eat them. All have to be sold. That is not true in all cases with all dog kennels, but it has been done many a time.
Mr Howard Teal told a story one time of a young dog man that wanted to buy a pup out of a litter he had bred a certain way. He also had a adjoining litter of of extra nice pups in the next brood pen, but not bred the same way.
This young fellow wanted that certain breeding, maybe the Bullet stuff. But he really liked another pup out of that other litter which was bred some what different. So the guy is standing there looking back and forth and back forth. Finally Mr. Teal who is a business man and had many other things that needed attending to that day. Gets enough of it all and says look you like that other pup but you want these papers. Am I right in that assumption. The Reply is yes and the young man leaves with the papers he wanted on the other dog he wanted. So there you go, how many times you reckon that has been done. LOL
I know that Mr. Fox can very well defend himself. But to call him a sad individual is very disrespectable. Mr. Fox has seen more great dog matches than the majority of dog men in my time era ever saw. He matched some very good dogs and they were in condition to win. Mr. Fox was best of friends of top known dog men. In my time Era and we are about the same age give or take a little. Mr. Fox was considered then and now a very honest dog man. I never heard anyone speak bad of him.
You need to go over to Mr. Fox's site and read about his Alvin dog. Alvin was really the best of show and gamest of show dog that day. After the match, Mr. Earl Tudor said that Fox's Alvin was the Best match dog he had seen in forty years. That would have included many of Tudor' favorites like Spike and Jeff. Later Tudor was not calling D. Mayfield or D. Maloney or Burton looking for a good stud dog to breed to. He was calling Mr. Fox to see if he could get a breeding off the Alvin dog.
You said something about Zebo maybe being off that Eli dog. The Lonzo Pratt's Mike dog was Mr. Pratt's favorite dog and was a very good Pit Ace. He had no need of a Mayfield or Boudreaux's Eli dog to continue on his line of dog. You want to know about Mr. Pratt's dogs. Best talk with Tar Heel Matt.
Tar Heel Matt was one of the few dog men that got along real well with Mr. Pratt. Matt knew his dogs and dog yard real well. Matt has sort of fallen off the map of lately. Hope all is well with him and family. Have called and P.M. him but no answers as of yet. I would bred a good bitch of my choice to the Apostle dog if I had one, in a New York Minute.
This whole topic has turned in the sort of what ever stuff you get on the on line pedigree site. No longer appears to be civil enough for my liking. The way Mr. Fox has been keyed on for just telling the truth to the best of his ability. He knows nothing about the Boudreaux Blind Billy dog no more than I do or Mayfield did. Only Boudreaux and Tudor know. The birth dates could just be a honest mistake. Even dog registries make lots of errors.
Lets not start another Cyber Bully rant like over on the other site. Cyber Bully left the other site, and I was thinking to my self, hope he does not show up over here. Cheers
