Running Catch Dogs

Ruben i dont mean you any more disrespect than I've already shown you. I felt like given the circumstances I said nothing inappropriate, if I over reached in some way then I apologize to you sir.
Reason I even commented initially yesterday was because I found you disrespectful not only to the man asking the question, as you never answered his question via the two choices that he give, but you took time out as well to disrespect me also at the same time. Who else on this forum do you know that uses sight hounds and lurchers thats active on here. I took your comments about them as a direct insult and lack of knowledge about my dogs. Again, you didn't even attempt to answere his question, just used his question to smear rcd's and my dogs. I wish you would have been more humble and had let someone that successfully runs rcd dogs answere the man's question. I stayed humble in that regard and did not reply to the question for the exact reason Leif tried to bring to my attention later afterwards as i realize that my dogs fall under a little different classification given the general opinion of everyone's definition of an rcd on this forum. I felt like I had the right to come to the defence of my dogs and point out they are way more than you just made them out to be.
This is my explanation to you Mr. Ruben as to why I said what I did and the following reply was just in response to your other reply. If you see me as arrogant jerk for standing up for my dogs and and dispelling the myths about the good ones that take to hunting and catching pigs, then so be it. I'll proudly correct the falsehoods that get spread about such dogs in my remaining time on this forum. I wish you the best of luck Mr. Ruben and I hate that things took the turn they did again as soon as the question about rcd's was asked.

Just a side note of my observation on this forum. I don't really see any bigger push now for rough dogs and rcd's and sight hounds and lurchers and finder holder types than any other time since this forum first originated. There has normally been someone with such dogs active on this forum throughout its history. They don't stay to terribly long on here either. Not because they have quit hunting, but because of the general misunderstanding of their style of hunting and their dogs. Another observation that I've seen is that these people normal have shared some of the most insightful and informitive knowledge in many areas and not just about their dogs. Before I leave this forum, I wish to add to and leave a little insightful knowledge behind in the hopes that when someone comes along with a mind to run this type of dog, they can set themselves on the right track without being derailed and undermined and have the tools necessary to reassure themselves they are doing right when other try to tell them bad info. Listening to speculation on here and bad advice given is a set back at best. Probably not gonna be anyone active on here that hunts primarily with long dogs and lurchers to help the next person that comes along and they will have to live in the archives too if they are to educate themselves to the point where they can start properly analyzing stuff for themselves.
