Hello my name is R2L and while my friends are watching the world cup qualification, im in the shed with a dog a rabbit and a gameboy.
Niiiice
Too many variables if you are talking about a sport of any kind.
There are great coaches, trainers, conditioners (both strength and stamina), managers, promoters, etc, etc.
In bulldogs, there have been legendary conditioners and handlers who just did not breed dogs.
Many great breeders who never conditioned or handled dogs.
Integrity is where you find it and where people invest the most of who they are into what they want to excel in.
Lol
Many dogmen in my day had no particular bloodline that they stuck with forever but some did. I bought 90% of the dogs I fought. It was easier to test someone elses dogs and buy which one I wanted. The other way is a slower process. It bothered me worst to see a dog I bred get hurt. I got to attached to them. It didn't bother me if I bought the dog. Tudor added and kept dogs from everywhere. If you follow him through the years of his history he had dogs from lots of bloodlines. Mayfield said Tudor had the only true pure dogs. If that were true that makes lots of bloodlines the only true pure dogs. Jim Williams acquired dogs from lots of different people and had several top dogs from all over through the years. Tudor didn't add as many bloodlines to his stuff after 1954. That was because here in Oklahoma liquior got legalized. Tudor who was a Bootlegger didn't have the money to play any longer. No person needed to buy from a bootlegger anymore. He didn't even paint his house. Bill De Cordova got dogs from Earl Tudor and Jim William and didn't seem to go to far from home to acquire what he wanted. Boudreaux kept lots of the same stuff around for years. Lots of men from the 80's on up developed bloodlines that any man could be proud of. They were a little bit more educated on health issues and breeding issues. There are lots of good dogs today but there are more sorry dogs than ever. Everytime the good increases the bad manages to stay a long ways ahead. My wife use to say when I came home. I kissed the dogs and petted her on the head. Women can think up the weirdest things to say just to nail you. Just some thoughts from and old man. Randy
I think "lines" tend to develop around GOOD DOGS ... at least that is how it should be
In other words, when a truly great dog pops up, you're going to see (smart) people breeding around that dog and developing a line out of it.
Unfortunately, a lot of "pure dogfighters" (who buy dogs) don't have the sense to do this ... and let truly great genetic potential slip away.

Every woman I have ever been with has eventually gotten jealous of the attention I paid to my dogs, without exception.
And they also got jealous of the fact every dog we had just seemed to "love me more" than her ... which, of course, goes back to the attention I pay to my dogs compared to most "normal" people
