Thanks for the reply. I've read a couple versions of the Cajun rules and can't seem to find where it says a dog doesn't have to scratch to a dead dog or where it says the referee can declare a winner. Can somebody post the version of the rules that states that?

I agree with sportsmanship and leaving a dead dog down is not sportsmanship. I believe when your kills another dog in the square it's done exactly what it's come to do, anybody that would try cheat that dog out of the win through cheap tricks is a low life. You need to know when your beat and do right by your animal.

You're going to have to look in one of the older, physical books.

Back in the 90s there were several sites with the original rules.

I just looked around now, too, and all the 'modern' online versions seem to have this omitted, which is bullshit.

Check one of the Stratton books, or any of the older books, that contain a conscientious rendering of the rules, not one of these modern bubble-gum sites.

It does not make sense to scratch into a dead dog. You're gonna stay all night and let a live one work a dead one until he finally comes out of hold and then scratch him? I would never scratch my dog to win if he never came out of hold.

Good point.

The whole idea of any fight is to determine a winner, not to sit there and watch a GD killing.

That would be like watching one boxer KO another boxer, and instead of the contest being "over" at that point, with a winner decided ... to sit there and watch the conscious opponent kick, stomp, mutilate and absolutely beat his helpless opponent to death ... and then to keep watching the guy drag the body around. That is no longer a "sport," by any definition, and anyone who would want to watch something like that is a deranged asshole who needs to be put away.

In the exact same fashion, it does not make sense from a "basic decency" standpoint to sit there and watch one dog totally destroy, mutilate, kill, and then drag the body of a dead dog around. Anyone who can't understand this is a defective person, and cannot properly be called a "human being" ... they're missing some key traits that make for a human being.

In our sport, morally-sound people are trying to determine (1) a winner, and (2) if the dog who is beaten "still wants to continue" and has an acceptable amount of gameness if he cannot possibly win. We are NOT supposed to be killing, mutilating, and taking the lives of the losing animal, especially if it's game, to say nothing about spending another hour watching one dog drag a body around.

Pretty hard to believe that this requires explanation ...

Did the link I posted work? The rules I posted were revised Cajun Rules as was stated the object is not to kill but prove who is gamer ect.... on some occasions things happen quick and nothing can be done, but to sit and watch your dog get killed then drug around hoping the oppent loses intrest is just down right sick. But some pf the most active don't know the rules and let it happen, a well known Ch killed the other and didn't take hold on his scratch. Money and the fact most have no respect for the dogs are slowly ruining the dog's. I may not be the most well known person but I've been around and respect the dog's , picking one up doesn't make you soft it makes you a real man with compassion for his partner
