Did she make it?
The vet said because of the severity of her injuries it would be best to euthanize her.
What a shame.
One the one hand, I agree that Freebie is a Candidate for GDOY.
On the other, I think her owner(s) are candidates for Fucking Idiots of the Year (and that applies if you're the owner, because I don't care who is, my opinion is the same).
The owner/s basically put no effort into the first one, tossing her in there unconditioned. The bitch took the beating, won on gameness, and suffered a severe injury--but earned her chain spot.
Not satisfied, her owner/s (knowing she was only so-so in ability, and with a compromised limb) put her in there with a killer ... where her old injury was immediately re-broken, and with a new injury achieved, and yet that bitch STILL tried her hardest ... for over 2 hours ... and STILL won for her (undeserving) owners, showing everyone there what these dogs are all about.
And so what does the owner/s do?
On the first match, they couldn't be bothered with conditioning her.
On the second match, after their dog have them everything she had, they couldn't be bothered with spending the time/effort/money required to heal her
The owner(s) is/are UTTER PIECES OF LAZY, WORTHLESS SHIT (imho) and don't deserve to own truly game dogs, as they have no gameness in them themselves.
I would have taken whatever time off work I had to, and stayed with that bitch until she made it.
Not a minute would go by where she didn't know I was in her corner too
I would have either made sure she lived, or I would have gone down trying everything I could to save her ... as she gave everything she had to win for me.
I would NEVER have intentionally killed her.
You NEVER can tell what will happen unless you TRY.
I can't even imagine failing to try for a bitch who just tried her hardest, and (literally) just gave life-and-limb for me.
Lazy, worthless fuck/s IMO.
A wanton disregard for life, effort, and heart ... indicates a lack of these things in the individual(s).
End of rant.

Thanks for voicing your opinion. I do disagree with most of what you voiced though. First off. Free was taken to a vet, had her bone set and placed in a cast. Her injury was fully healed before she was ever thought of being done again. Secondly you aren't a Licensed, Practicing Veterinarian so when someone needs your opinion on wether to humanely euthanize a dog suffering traumatic and life threatening injuries or to prolong unnecessary pain and agony i'll let them know where they can reach you.What a shame.

That is your right.
I am sure you do.
Still doesn't change the fact you/they didn't lift a finger to condition her to begin with.
Still doesn't change the fact she seemed to be a so-so dog in ability ... so why match her again?
Yeah?
And I could wallpaper a building with the vet reports I have shot down over the last 25 years ... from "licensed, practicing vets."
From at least 50 vets over the years, who said a dog "can't have babesia" in the US ... to a "licensed, practicing vet" who had a dog right in front of him, dying of kidney failure ... the lab results in front of his face ... and who STILL rejected my statement to the owner (over the phone 600 miles away) telling her THE DOG HAS EATEN ANTI-FREEZE ...
The "licensed, practicing vet" said, NO ... and when the woman came home, her boyfriend informed her, "Oh my god, I shook off some antifreeze I spilled on the floor mat right in front of her."
So you can disagree with what I say, and follow bookworm vets who know nothing about bulldogs, again that is your right.
But the very fact you (or whomever it was) DIDN'T EVEN TRY to save that bitch makes you/them UTTER PIECES OF SHIT ... for exactly the reasons I said above.
Jack
Frail boned yes! So so in ability not at all. And not trying to save her would have been leaving her where she was. Bringing her to a vet is trying to save her. You dont know the extent of her injuries the vet did. People who Bulldog know there are some that can't be saved. Free finished strong and got to do what she loved.
Point taken.
Good distinction, and another point well taken.
True again.
But YOU don't know what would have happened had you tried
I personally would have tried as hard to save my bitch afterward, as she tried to win for me when I put her in that position
People with intelligence know that you miss 100% of the shots you DON'T TAKE ...
People with heart and character are willing to try as hard as they possibly can ... for those who prove THEY will try as hard as they can too
Your "easy way out" decision may have been following "a vet's recommendations," but it's been my repeated and consistent experience that "vet opinions" aren't worth a whole lot, ultimately.
To me, this was way beyond "a vet" ... it was A MATTER OF PRINCIPLE: anything that tries THAT hard for me, I am trying THAT hard for it. Period. End of story.
That is just basic decency.
Also, correct me if I am wrong, but didn't you say in the beginning that your dog just "beat all the odds" by winning in the first place?
Yet you don't give her the chance TO LIVE afterward, by ignoring the vet, and doing EVERYTHING YOU COULD FOR HER ... as SHE did everything you could for you
Buddy, she just finished "ignoring all the odds" for you ... yet you cave in to the odds when it's your turn to reciprocate
That is just lame, plain and simple.
I can't sugar-coat my honest opinion.
I respect the way you're handling my statements, but I think YOU FAILED YOUR DOG when it counted
And you threw her away with both hands, without being willing to give her a chance "to beat all the odds again" ... where it counted.
Denial isn't rebuttal my friend, it is only denial
Jack
With that type of injury should of picked up and could of still had a good one. Sometimes a dog that loses has shown more than the winner.
Well, that's a whole other subject, and you are exactly right, Ragedog.
Gotap said earlier that Freebie was, "Humanely put down" ... as if the desire to be "humane" was his main objective
Um, I think Gotap's desire to be "humane" was thrown out the window when he watched his bitch get brutalized, for 2 hours, on 2 broken legs, to make sure he didn't have to lose any money ... and then hauled what was left of her over to a vet.
The real truth is Gotap couldn't be bothered with the TIME, EFFORT, and EXPENSE that the vet told him would have to go into getting that bitch back to a healthy state again.
If we want to clear the air of any bullshit.
Jack
I hear what you are saying Rage but i dont agree. Have i picked up before? Yes a few times and will pick up again if need be but I will only pick up when i see my dog has no chance of winning. To each his own.
