Its best to always stand your ground! And different opions without a doubt! I see people who mass produce these bulldogs as a problem for $$$$$$$$$$$. I also see people who try to steal other peoples dogs( a huge problem) and since "you" brought that Up I have since forgiven the man your friend then your probally right parting ways is the best avenue to take. I wish you the best thank you for the wedding present she is a fine Bulldog but if you feel that way fly her into Nashville and I will pick her up as soon as you can get her there. I never intended offending anyone I just simply spoke the truth and some people take offence to the truth plain and simple ,just let me know when you can ship Gracie and I will make sure I'm at the airport , I wish you the best as always: Mark @ Big Sky
P.S. I never wanted to see Gracie go ,Take it up with God Mike when yoour right your right and you stand for whats right!

: This is what He told me. I should send Gracie back to Mark. Mark gave her to me when I
: went with Aaron to pick up some females for Aaron. I told Mark I could keep her
: until things settled down & he could get back going again. Mark insisted I take
: her. She's a nice female, rock hard muscle, nice & straight. But I'm to honor my
: original commitment. Let me know when, where, etc & I'll ship her to ya. You can
: do Alot with her with the up & comers you have. All you have to do is pick her
: up @ the airport. Now, since this is a public forum, & you posted some of my
: comments here from the J' board I'll respond here, then we can agree to disagree on
: some things & leave it @ that. I agree with many things about checking hips.
: However, alot of people don't check hips & I'm curious as to how people operate.
: I see kennels that check & those that don't, can't say I see a huge difference
: in # of dogs produced with bad hips either way. I've never presented myself as
: anything but a dumb ol' hick from Alabama, but I have yet to see a definitive
: scientific study showing that hip dysplasia has been eliminated in a group of dogs
: by hip checking, OFA or Pennhip. I also stand my my inference that a vet has general
: knowledge & it takes some experience with AB's to attain "bulldog
: knowledge". Also, I've had 2 vets look @ hip x-rays on the same dog & one
: give it a good report, the other say he saw mild dysplasia. As an added note, the
: vet who gave the good report was a retired professor of surgery from the vet school
: @ Auburn University who now is in private practice specializing in orthopedics.
: Mark, I left a message that we could work together on some things, but that was
: before I read this post. think probably it's best we not collaberate. Nothing
: personal, but our personalities don't "geehaw" Here's my problem. Phil
: Allen was a friend of mine. Dave Timson is a friend of mine. Now with this post,
: when you make statements about people with 30 dogs that don't check hips, that
: encompasses some of my best friends that have done more for me than I can ever
: repay. And they have produced some dogs with great hips & have a very low
: percentage of replacement pups. They must be doing something right.So I wish the
: best to you, your new family & Big Sky American bulldogs. email flight info for
: Gracie that's convenient for you & I'll have her up to Ken. call it a wedding
: present.
