~ REST IN PEACE SILVERBACK ~

Sorry jack. He will be missed even by the ones that never had the pleasure to meet him
The Gorilla lives forever in legacy !

Today I'm pissed. Saw on feds online people giving you shit when you are mourning. Calling you and your loved dog the worst shit I've seen. This is whats fucked up with the game today. NO FUCKING RESPECT! All personal differences aside when a dog dies stuff like that don't matter no more. Stay strong brother!

Are you new to fedsonline skipper? Anyone familiar with fedsonline should already know what to expect when making any post, as the chance's of there being a negative comment is very high on any topic. This is also true on ANY forum.

Like the saying goes," you have to take the good with the bad comments", if not don't post at all.

I dont use feds online anymore, so dont know what was said (and dont want to) but FFS how low can you get to jump on someone and call them when they are down. Some folk have no class.

Chin up Jack! I'm sure you wont give a bunch of toss pots a second thought as to what they say or think. At least you had the pleasure to spend time with a good dog, care for him, and build something around him. All they have is their bitterness and bad mouthing.

I was told early on in my dog days that if people wasnt talking about you its because your doing something wrong. Sadly that has been proven to be true many times over.

Thanks again fellas, I appreciate it. Actually, I thought most of the folks on FedsOnline were pretty cool about it ... but, as always, a few bad eggs have to spoil the atmosphere.

That said, I am not all that down really (been through this shit too many times). In my heart I knew Silverback wasn't going to last more than a year or so, I just did not expect him to go so quickly from "fine" to "dead" like that.

His death really is just the final "push" for me in heading towards a new direction in my life, as The Gorilla's ability was forcing me to stay out in the country and continue to breed him, simply because I knew how long it would take to come across another dog like that again.

Sorry Jack. So goes the cycle of life, it is just easier to see it in the dogs than through the eyes of our own mortality. When you've been around these hounds as long as you or I, you'd think it should get easier to lose a good one, but it sure doesn't.

Good post amigo.

It is not fun to say goodbye to any dog you've cared for for a number of years ... especially if they're "the last" of something ... but it makes it even worse if you know in your bones that you'd have to go through several thousand dogs to get another one like "that" again. (If you can!)

As someone who has bred scores of dogs capable of whipping fastlane dogs, all over the world, I can truthfully say that Silverback was simply in a class by himself, and was a truly unique and irreplaceable animal.

I have lost a great friend, and a great asset, but I have also accepted this and moved on.

Cheers,

Jack

I have been paying for that shit for years and years. I have 15 days left and won't give them a dime anymore. I know every thread turns to bullshit, now to mock another mans sorrow is something you just don't do. There are times for bullshit, but there are times when there is absolutely no room for it. For example when a man has lost his pride and joy. Mourning...

I'm with you on that Skipper. Once my subscription is due, I'm done with that site. And I'm taking down all the peds I created also.
Jack, I know you ain't going out like that. After 20+ years of breeding so many good dogs, you're just gonna walk away and not have at least 1 dog? That's got to be hard. I know you're gonna miss it. Well except for picking up doo doo
Anyhow if you got rid of all your dogs and sometime in the future you ever decide to want one from my stock, just let me know an ill give you one. to your new life after bulldogs

I agree. I thought it started out as nice, but then all civility has gone to hell, which seems to be the final result to virtually every thread on there.

Thanks. Your efforts in putting up pedigrees will be rewarded with more features over here anyway.

This is the only survivor out of the last Silverback breeding, he had an infection in one of his eyes at 1 and a half weeks old which will need to be removed. We named him Odin after Thor's one eyed father and God of war, death, and wisdom. As you can tell he may lack an eye but he doesn't lack attitude. Sorry again for your loss Jack, thought you would want to see the Gorilla's last son.
