Charlie, (Jeeps brother)

No way especially when you have kids around!

 

Your right,,, its one thing to chose that as an adult and another to expose your children to it...
Have a goodnight Trotline...

 

Extract from Mountain Man interview

"The very first time I saw Zebo, he bit me” Mr. Hughes began. “Me and William Cable had come to Lonzo*s house to look at his dogs. Lonzo had his dogs tied along a narrow path, and if you got one step the wrong way, they could reach you. I started walking along the path behind Lonzo towards the dogs and stopped and asked him if any of the dogs could get to us. “No, and they wouldn*t bite you no how” he answered, and we kept walking. We went a few steps further and a black dog hit the end of his chain and grabbed me by the arm. I swung my fist and punched him in the jaw, knocking him off, and that was the very first time I laid eyes on Zebo.

"I was eating breakfast the next morning and looked out the window to see Dave Adams* car pull into the yard, he*d come for Zebo. He wanted to get Zebo off the chain himself, a few moments later I saw him running away from Zebo*s spot. Zebo had almost bit him and ran him off. I had to load Zebo in their car myself. They hadn*t brought a box or crate with them, and when they left Zebo was riding in the front seat between them, looking out the window. I was wondering if by the time they got to Ohio either of them would have any face left!”

After that was when Dave Adams* son got hurt, and Zebo did bite that boy. I saw his face and Zebo bit him pretty good and he sold Zebo to a feller named Johnson.

Zebo would bite, he*d bite you or he*d bite a stranger. Not every time mind you, there*d be times he was just as friendly as a puppy. But if you walked up to him and his eyes got real wide and round, the only way to keep from getting bit was to get the hell away from him fast! When he bit, he didn*t just chomp and turn the hold loose. He*d work it like he was on a dog, hold and shake.

One time some big ol* boy from South Carolina was here to look at the dogs with some friends. I guess he weighed about two hundred and fifty pounds; big, all muscle, you know? We started to look at the Bulldogs, and he went right towards Zebo. Back then we had him chained out there by the old apple tree. I called after him, “Don*t touch that dog, he*ll bite you!” He answered, “I train dogs for a living, and there aint a dog in the world that I can*t pet.” And I told him; well, you can*t pet THAT one. He looked at Zebo and said “this little dog is friendly, look at the way his tail*s a waggin*!” I said; he*s just anticipatin* how good he*s gonna enjoy biting you!

Me and the other fellers walked up the hill towards the other dogs, and we didn*t get but about ten feet before I heard that boy scream. He was holding his arm up and there was Zebo hanging from it, shaking. I had to get a breaking stick to get him off, I don*t believe there was any way that boy, big as he was, could*ve got Zebo off and eventually Zebo would have gotten him down.”

 

Now I am confused. Was it D. Adams' son or daughter?

 

D.Adams son was bit really bad by Zebo. If I'm correct Adams got out the dogs soon after, alot of dogs who should have been put down have been kept because of how good they were. Zebo was a once in a lifetime type dog and should of never been around children period but its all history now

 

Thanks Rage.

 

I was go'n to breed A gyp to Samson one time, Bobby Hall said OK you have to come get though I'll be out of town. After work I drove to the North side of Houston, Bobby said wheres your crate, I said I'll just chain him in the back of the pickup. He said Samsons funny he will just freak ridding in the back of the truck. Just throw him in the cab with you!! OK, drove back to Galveston had the window open A little he just sat there and looked out the window. The next day I phoned A couple of people and they said you must be crazy he has bitten so many people!! I never had one bit of trouble with him except shooting blanks....no pups! Once I put him in the pin I was the only one who could get him out, I got called to A job out of town, so Bobby C. and Chicken Sam came down and returned him for me! I would have hated like hell to get bitten by him he had one ferocious set of cutters! Had one strange gyp breed of old lightner/E. Crenshaw X Corns Kojack just bat shit crazy just fine with everybody except anybody in A uniform....go figure how would how the hell did she know what A uniform was??? LOL

 

great read Trotline...

 

I've held a few between my legs.I have bred the one's that I obtained from Super Gant they are IMO Carver,Colby dogs that he set as a family they have an avg mouth outstanding abilty 36-40lb some cold some nervous as hell.The cold ones that came from litters that I bred had a bite that would retire one in under 20mins.The nervous ones never stayed long.

 

Agreed! I have a hard time believing a lot of you guys would have put Zebo down. I would have bought him KNOWING HIS REPUTATION!! Like Rage said, he was a once in a lifetime dog that should have been kept AWAY from children. Us gun owning parents aren't letting our children play wit pistols! Why let em play wit, or around, a dangerous dog? I don't think ppl quite had the "respect" we do for a manbiter. Ppl are more cautious/afraid these days. Animals like that always have a place. Like the junkyard dog you gotta throw food to! I knew a couple that "tolerated" their owners. I would have kept Zebo like Hannibal Lector lol. In a locked pen, 2 collars, on a chain. Woulda wore that damn key around my neck!!

 

If he was cold, how you check for mouth? From my understanding cold dogs don't work, at all... Never seen one myself. Just askin

 

Cold is cold, and it don't bite... might lick one down lol

 

One could bite without starting imo..

 

In my opinion and the dogs that I have an bred from this family will defend themselves once the other stops he will to.

 

Man I have HEARD that, more than once, I didn't get to see either go,, because of work out west. I have put down once for just cutting slack (more than just getting air) he was probably A quitter anyway, had one person he's bread good, even more reason to put him down!

 

I agree,,, We walked along this type because he was bred heavy on the gr ch hank dog whom also had wierd habbits,,, should have went with our first instinct...

 

Man Hank was A moneymaker,......g.H. and crew sure got some from us! Those are the ones you make the BIG bucks with, especially when you have idiots like us lay 3-2 LOL!

 

Rolex and his son Casino were of the Hank type,,, fuck with your heart rate and finish strong...
Rolex needed an hour to wake up and Casino was rich in namesake and a gamlers delight...
