A general forum for the discussion of hunting with beagles, guns, clothing and other equipment and just talking dawgs! (Tall tales on hunting allowed, but remember, first liar doesn't stand a chance)
i dont trial- im interested in rabbit hounds.. papers dont mean a real lot to me- any dog that can go thru what i put them thru in a year is a real one- i guide hunters - if they come -i go - 3-4 feet of snow - 30 below zero - it doesnt matter - we will go hunting - may or may not get any rabbits. i have one dog now i got from gil and its a good dog - if u tell me u got a world champion in any kind of trial i say well ok ill hunt it next winter - it may or may not be a rabbit hound here.. if it isnt - not worth anything to me- i dont care if gill keeps goats in his house or not. dogs i got from him were in good health and thats all that matters to me- one was a little shy- i worked with him a little and he got over it- gil told me this before i got him.. - many times a dog is labeled shy but may just be a little smarter than average and this is how this dog was once he learned to trust me- he accidentally bred one female here - kept one pup- pup is a carbon copy of dad and is the opposite of shy - when u see how much pup resembles dad when bred to totally different female its obvious to me there is some real strong breeding there. i wouldnt be too sure u couldnt breed a shepard and get a rabbit dog-thats almost the case with litter i had.. anyways every time i see somebody bashing gil and his bloodline il tell what i know about the ones ive seen. cause the man used me right - thanks gil - pete richardson-
I have a theory about "old timer". I think that he's really Gill just trying to stir the pot of stinky a little. Probably thinking that rabbit dogs are like movie stars, there is no "Bad" publicity... Or, maybe old timer is Simon Cowel and he got kicked off "American Idol" and has moved over to "American Beagler"...Btw, Ive had dealings with Gill and it was "interesting" to say the least...
old timer you clearlynever seen nipper run . she never ghost tracked . ive seen her run several times . you dont even know where bob williams lives(its western pa.) bob would never bring a dog like that to the trials. i think you owe him an appoligy . fact is nipper is the greatest jump dog ever to run in the arha .
jcm i have lost all respect for you . yes most of what you sead about gill is true but i was there that trial . gill did get cheated . and all i got to say is the judges name. (jared mccalister) and it should make sence to alot of people. shurly not you. being the master of hounds and freind of his.
looks like the truth is starting to come out about all this buddy judging that went on at some of the trials in that era trying to get there on bloodline established looks like ollll mark does know a little about a little here
son folks has ben buddy judging an cheating since the furst compatitione. it aint new, it aint never stopped. you best take them shades and blinders off. they do it everwhere. akc, ukc, everwhere. and they aint gonna stop. i bet you cheated an lied a few times in your life. you member that time at school or at home playing cards. good book say he without sin cast the furst stone. can you.
