I think its a shame when they let dogs/legends! go at that age
Robert T's record is very impressive as well!

I don't know why people run them into the ground either. I can understand "trying" with a dog that age ... maybe ... but to let them go all the way out is wrong IMO.

iv asked for you. all dogs born on his yard are docked and ears are cropped for match dogs. it seems to be his image, maybe some kind of superstitionOriginally Posted by bad dog
some do it (not pera) because the weight difference of 200 gr,lol.
but it's not normal to do it around here, maybe a very few people from the balkan area.
Silvers battles where all filmed and I'm pretty sure they are on the net. He was an excellent ear dog, who was damn near unbeatable.Anyway, he sounds like a helluva head dog, wish I couldda seen him go
What is absolutely fascinating to me, as I am sure you know, but so too was Robert T an ear dog ... as well as his son Ch Robert T Jr. (who stopped four 4x winners from making Gr Ch) :grin:
I know a lot of people "hate" an ear dog, but I personally think a good ear dog is the single hardest dog to beat that there is ... and history has shown this by the nearly-identical "best records" of these dogs.

I prefer Face/ear dogs over any other styles myself. Have seen many "mediocre" facedogs outpull and stop multiwinnig dogs in short order. Many dogs can't handle the stress and frustration having a nasty fucker in the head making it impossible to get things done. If you have a decent head dog it takes one helluva dog just to bear him.
I agree with this 100%.
Just from a combat strategy alone, if a person thinks about it, "the head" of the other dog is where the weapons are. The dog that totally controls the head therefore totally controls the fight. And the dog whose head is being controlled is likewise utterly ineffective in what he's trying to do. Time and again I have seen what you've seen ... namely, some so-called "monster" of a biting dog run into a slick head dog ... and find himself not be able to do what he wants ... get frustrated ... and eventually stand the line suckin' air at some point.
And this story of Ch Silver that R2L posted is basically history repeating itself again :cool:

PS: You wouldn't happen to have a link to any of Ch Silver's deals would you?
Found 2 links. One was password protected and the other was deleted. I will look some more, give you a pm if I find something. Maybe there are others on this board who has a link? Would be appreciated. As this dog is worth seeing more than once.
Okay thanks.
