I'll second that!

It sure tells you the measure of a man when all these folks step up to say a kind word or offer help. Monte I don't know you but your posts and deeds give a good account of the kind of man you are. Best wishes on a quick healing and have a Merry Christmas and a better New Year.

I agree with nearly everything you say Mrs LHD as I have had some of that same blood you have talked about. I have changed lines over to the Jeep Rascal Redboy over the last 15 years and have found that they are more thinkers than reactors. Not sayin mine are better than anyone elses but they seem too fire up a little slower than the Tonka/Bolio I used to have. I can ride my dogs in the 4 wheeler trailer while hunting. Don't think I would do it in the dog box where I couldn't see what was happening. And no I don't sell or give any dogs away unless you are a 10 yr. friend or have owned these type dogs for years. I don't believe you need a game bred dog for catching either or these AB's and Dogo's and curs couldn't do it. So your point about the blue ones is spot on. If you can get one leggy enuf to run most will work. Again it is the individual dog not the line. And I hate the word "gamey cause it don't mean schat.

Throwing a generality out there that all game bred temperments are bad is a fallacy. Granted your odds go way up with lines that are closer to the pit but many lines out there are less dog aggressive and many individual dogs are less aggressive. I agree with the statement that all APBT's with human aggression need to take a dirt nap. Getting these dogs focused on hogs early so they know what their job is lets them focus the aggression.

The bloodline of a catchdog is a lot less important than the individual dogs temperment. The crazy acting ones are a liability whether at home or hunting.

Moral of the story; Take a deep breath before you get your panties in a wad.

You said he was a good one on the phone. You were right. Nice one.

Up here in Washington and Oregon we call that getting Californicated.

I'm glad some realized it was a joke as I don't hardly drink let alone drink and drive.LOL

Coming home from town yesterday and some girl was driving and texting and it ticked me off so bad I rolled down my window and threw my beer at her!

Most APBT breeders don't throw around the term "game bred dog" because the definition of that to most means both parents are pit tested and proven game. Not just down from blood that was game at one time. That is why most APBT breeders don't want to talk to someone throwing that term around. I know that in this crowd it means dogs from closer to game stock than the more common pet bull or Am. Bully.

I tend to think along the same lines, whether it's natural or manmade this weather is gettin more violent and unstable. We had 2  500 yr. floods in back to back years out here awhile back. Mother nature is gonna thin em out one way or another and all the technology  won't save ya.

If you want to look at some good Carver dogs or Hammond dogs check out Texas Legacy Kennels. He has most of his on the site but if you use the words Game bred pits he will probably hang up on you if you call.

Best wishes for quick healing. I always enjoy your escapades.

I know I wouldn't be ridin back there with the guys I hunt with.

Good stuff man, they grow up fast.

I would guess he is trash broke off horses.

I'll answer a question with another, why do you care what anyone thinks of you're catchdog. You are the one feeding it.

If that pup is a lean hard 64 you may get a 90#er. If he is a soft puppy fat 64 I would see him finishing out more like 75. And that depends on how you keep them for hunting. If you keep them lean like a bay dog or well fed like a couch dog. One man's 75# dog is anothers man's 90# dog.             

Navy 72-75 Fire Control Tech, I got to pull the trigger on those 5" 38 cal. naval guns. Launched 4 57# projectiles with one pull of the trigger. I have shot a bigger gun than most. LOL
