If its anything like Grand American, its up to the host club or the SETW ppl to control that. I've seen DNR make ppl leave from the fair grounds at GA because they had sick or poor dogs. I my opinion its not the kid on Facebook saying what she sees killing our sport. Its the ppl who don't take care of their dogs and then drag them out in public to sell what's left of them.

If your going to call yourselves houndsmen you should be man enough (or women enough) to respect the dogs and ppl who you parade them in front of.

I agree with you 100% but 2 rough looking hounds out of 500 could make the whole bunch look bad

Just left. Saw a truck with 'If You Cant Feed em, Dont Breed em'. If only everybody would follow that. I saw a cpl skinny dogs, but nothing to be worried about. Most of the dogs were either well fed or in decent hunting shape.

Much of that is perception. An overweight dog is no more healthy than an overweight adult.

I can believe that.

Here is the thing, I have a male dog who, if you saw him just standing there, some of these nosey animal people who know nothing about hounds would "think" my dog was malnourished.
Here are the facts...... I feed my dog Diamond Naturals and he does best on the chicken and rice after I tried many different feeds including extreme athlete. I go down there every day and he generally has feed still from the previous day's feeding. He was at the vet a month ago for teeth cleaning and to have a place removed from his back.
I spoke with the vet about his weight and the vet stated you really do not want to see ribs or those two butt bones sticking up in the back and I totally agreed with that assessment. She suggested mixing in some high quality puppy food with the normal food and that was something I had not tried. A month later and not having been hunted for a month, he has gained a whole 2 ounces.
This dog is completely healthy, worm free (we checked), and hunts harder and longer, and with such energy as that I have never seen in any hound I have ever owned.
I have resigned to myself that until this dog gets older and/or slows down some, he is just not going to be a dog that carries any fat.
The vet seems to think he could use about 5 more pounds and that is probably true but I do not know how to get there after trying everything I know try and including what the vet has suggested.

That vet suggested it is better for him as he is rather than presenting to her at 10 pounds overweight.

Yeah, I don't like to down anyone's dogs. But when you have 15 dogs tied there at the back of a truck laying in mud on a 3 ft chain, it doesn't do anything good for our sport. And another thing is people go down in the bottom and buy a dog they don't know if they are sick or have a disease or something and lead it right down in the stud barn.Where houndsmen have their big money dogs and litters of pups to pick up who knows what !

There is one way to stop this mess, charge the owner's of the dogs a $50.00 per dog fee to have them there I think it would weed them out. Our don't let them set up there. I seen the dogs lying in the mud and cold in the wee hours of morning was a sad site. Trade dogs or good dogs no dog should be treated like that.

I think it's nice to have the stud dogs set up in the barns. And i know these breeders spend alotta money and time promoting this dogs. I think they should tightin up on the dog traders that attend these events and NO other dogs should be in the stud barn if you don't have a rented space in there promoting your dogs !!
