Elley

[supernaut]

That sir was an incredible, very well written story! Thank you so much for sharing it and the pics of Elley. I hope you will get that book published and share the info here with us as I would love to have a copy!

I have been on the edge of my seat every morning waiting for the next installment of this story ever scene it started. Thank you for a wonderfully written story of a awesome dog.
I am one of those people that would never think of have an pit bull but after reading this and knowing one first hand my mind has been changed for the better.

A wonderful story.  Thanks for taking the time to share this with us.

Dang... you had me worried about Elley. 
Thanks for the great writeup.

Excellent story.  I must say you have defined what the "real" breed is like when reared well.  Ya, I remember Pete on the Rascal's .

I must ask the question....  Is Elley actually more an American Bull Dog ?  My understanding is that the breeding stock came from over seas and then was developed here.  I have only seen several of what I think you have and really, they dont look like "Pits" to me.

Just asking.....  Thanks

No, Elley is far removed from American bulldog stock. American Bulldogs are modern outbred PItBulls that had mastiff or other large breeds mixed in to up their size. You have not seen many like Elley because there are not many. You don't just go get one of these dogs, you have to know someone. Elley is the very purest and original form of PitBull there is. Americans are quite popular with some hog hunters because of their size. There is a serious downside to that however. It's hard to understand, but the smaller, linebred dogs like Elley have far superior stamina and bite power compared to regular Pits and Americans. The smaller dogs are also much better at not getting cut. This is a pic of one of Elleys daughters. She is small, but is considered one of finest catch dogs to ever live.

Clifford I waited anxiously each day to read your story about Elly. She was a wonderful dog for sure. I wish I could let mine out to run but one that I have may never return home if he got on a deer. He loves to chase the deer in our yard that is 8 acres enclosed by a chain link fence. Any varmit walking outside that fence is on his hit list not to count the coons and opossums visiting my muscadine vines each summer. He has fought and killed a few of them. His name is Rowdy and according to the DNA test we did he is Staffordshire Terrier and Catahoula mix. Here is a picture of him along with my Catahoula.

Looks like Rowdy likes to ride! Life is just better with a good dog at your side.

[Lowrider]

Yes it is. Didn't mean to hijack your thread but you know we just have to show off our dogs.

This was an incredible and superbly written story. I truly hope you have more of them!

I have many stories. Just memories put to word. Hope to have the first book of short stories ready this fall or early next year.

[Sam McMichael]

Let us know when your book is ready. I would like to have a copy.

Brother, that was a damn good yarn. I choked up when you talked about your wife, and then again when Elley was on the bench seat of the ATV. I have to see a picture of her though. I couldn't open the ones you posted. I have a mutt that has the kind of spirit she had but without the training or context to really flourish. He's a city dog that come and hunts with me every chance I get, but he lives in a back yard. Gonna send you a PM with my email. Thank you for the story. Please do more when you have time. Wow.

I sent you some pics. For any dog to flourish, you must spend lots of time with them. The more time you spend with a dog, the better they will be. Our newest dog, Hooligan, is really shaping up to be something special. He's only 11 months old and I could already write several stories about him! He's staring in the window at me now as I write this putting a guilt trip on me.

I sure can't wait for my autographed copy !!  Enjoyed the visit Saturday Travis. See you again soon.

[Wudstix]

I'd really like a copy as well.
