LG hasn't worked dogs in years.. his health is horrible, he is broke. Anybody in "the know" knows he is faking peds. I don't know how somebody would think he's the man to get good dogs from in all honesty. His time is past. That's like going to Floyd and thinking he's the "source" for Eli dogs. You're gonna get untouched junk. Plain and simple.
Well I know some guys that are running his stuff for him and they are still winning. your comment on Floyd is probably what you have seen, however I have seen quite a few off of dagger that were nothing short of being a bulldog.
It was just an example, fella. Just saying them old folks don't have the best anymore.
There are good and bad in every line of dogs, and there isn’t a stud dog alive or has ever lived that hasn’t thrown his fair share on curs. You are drawn to the line and style of dogs you like... whatever they may derive from. And more times than not it’s the hands the dogs fall in that determines their worth. So many want these dogs but know nothing about how to properly raise them, vaccinate them and keep them in optimal health. I’ve read all the bashing of LG in this thread and it’s apparent that most of you only heard of him, oppose to knowing him personally. He’s no saint... not by any stretch of the word. And he has bred and sold some curs... but let’s not only speak of the faults and flaws, without even mentioning his accomplishments and triumphs. The success he’s had with the same family of dogs is immeasurable. It’s your right to own and raise the dogs of your choosing, but don’t shit on this man’s name for personal opinions, or from what you heard from someone else. And if you got a dog from LG within the last 5 to 6 years... you have breedings that were done solely for monetary benefits. Everyone who truly knew LG saw the point where he start chasing the dollars many new comers flashed in his face to get some of the dogs he was so successful with. The Real Deal that came from LG was sold long before that. And those that have The Real Deal very rarely parts with it. Find out who has them and who’s using them. Take account of their win/lose record... and when they did lose, how many of those dogs quit. The Real Deal is out there, but it’s just not publicized!
Great post.
I think you could plug in a bunch of "names" into your post and it would still fit the bill/ring true.
Some years back there was a guy that bought some Mims type females from a friend of mine. He crossed them with his LG dogs. On paper if did not seem like much, at least not much to look at.
They ended up with early starting, hot ass, hard charging, hard mouthed bulldogs. I was thoroughly impressed.
Whether the dogs were old LG dogs or new LG dogs I do not know. Like was said, never met the man, so I can't say.
I'd would think with most have a following there is some basis to it.
