What is Wrong with People?

[Officially Retired]

I can never seem to be able to get over the fact that so many people in these dogs simply have no intelligence: they don't even understand the #1 Rule of Fighting, which is Protect Yourself At All Times

I was talking with Wildchild about the recent win with his son of Silverback (007), and how (after 007 plucked the dog out of his rear-end, he was only bit once more, briefly, and then never again). Wildchild told me there were a few people who actually said the dog was "a cur" because "he didn't want to get bit," as if being a wizard on defense was a bad thing

It never ceases to amaze me how many so-called dogmen there are out there who can't recognize the difference between a dog being 'afraid' to get bit ... and a dog being too smart to allow himself to get bit

I guess some people think that dogs who "swap it out" are the Holy Grail of what it is to be a bulldog, but (to me) such dogs are little more than palookas ... like low level "tough man contest" types ... basically "tomato can" dogs that will never achieve a world class level of ability. Truly world class dogs are not just "tough," they are fukken smart, and no smart dog will just leave himself wide-open for the taking

No wonder so many people can never get off the ground as breeders: they simply have no idea what traits to breed for

Fighting is not just about aggression and "machismo"; it is also about speed, intelligence, timing, pacing oneself, the ability to read/judge your opponent, etc. Wide-open, reckless dogs with no defense may be "exciting to watch" for the average retard ... but they will ultimately prove to be cannon fodder if they face a truly world class dog ... and will quit (or die) to one 9x out of 10.

The simple fact of fighting is this: not getting bit by your opponent in return is as important to winning as is biting him

I think there is a very simple answer to your question and its never going to change: "haters gonna hate"

[Jon P. Lebron]

Let me get this straight, they are calling this dog 007 a cur because he was able to keep the other dog at bay, controlling the match and stoping the other dog. As R2L said "haters are gonna hate".

Hahaha been there done that. Jack you should be laughing with Wildchild when he told you that story. I remember we had a good laugh about why you're called Smilewiper.
In my opinion, I believe it's a good thing the losers are thinking 007 is a cur. With that weight, you know it's going to be hard to find anything for him. Now the haters will bring out another victim. After number 2, they're going to be ducking and dodging anything with Vise Grip kennel behind it. I hate to talk shit but damn if its the only way to get them not to duck, so be it. Quack! Quack!

It is easy to distinguish between the haters pit side and the ones who may actually think this dog is a cur (and I know nothing about this particular dog nor the name callers either so no insult is intended). If they believe he is a cur, and the object is winning, and winning means money, and everybody likes money they should have been calling his weight then and there. Or, they should be blowing up Wildchilds phone with the weight, saying heal him up and bring him out. On the other hand if no one ever dials that number, well, that is just plain and simple hating. EWO

Was the other dog picked up or did he stand the line?

[No Quarter Kennel]

Jack, you just proved my argument I was making about GSP when he beat Nick Diaz. B/c he's smart and GOOD ENOUGH to not HAVE TO RISK, he is a soft fighter to others. GSP takes little to no real damage, b/c he's smart and has "style" and intelligence.

So far, the best litter i ever bred was the one that produced AC/DC's Diablo POR. I sold him after evaluating him and his best brother. BOTH SUPER DOGS! However, the one I picked, no one, including Diablo could get him in trouble. The dog would walk the wall to get out of trouble. Smart, smart, smart. Had different paces and gears for different opponents ALL BASED on the opponent.

I agree with you 100% on this point.

[R2L]

x2 EWO. And that's exactly why you shouldn't bother because the people who're talking the talk are not the ones walking the walk.

I would be eager to proof it. But then again, if you win. You won from a cur

[CrazyRed]

LOL, i agree Haters Gone Hate. What's hilarious is that most of the "Best" or "Greats" never got touched much. If they did they either killed you quick or made sure you didnt touch them again. Tornado, Robert T, T Jr, Melonhead, Bolio.

Pride plays a big part, people let their emotions get the best of them and in doing so they become blind to what is really going on. I don't like 1 dimensional or picky dogs and prefer an offensive dog that goes on defense when it has to.
