I use to go up to Box Woods on the N.C./Virginia line with him to see some great cockers compete. Was a lot of fun back then to spend the weekend at his house. Tar Heel Matt would come over sometimes back when he was a young fellow in his early twenties.
One day as we were sitting and talking, he says to me. You know since I have been in this dog game for awhile and dealt with a lot of various dog men and buying dogs etc. I have found the Game cockers are a hell of a lot more honest in selling good Cocks and brood stock than what many dog men are peddling. I had a good laugh with him and said maybe by Chickens having less genetic chromosomes than a dog. The gaminess can be better cloned in a chicken. LOL I knew what he meant and sometimes it was very true but not always. Cheers
