Did he win? I always thought he liked second place.

yup..he won and signed it..

for the record,he won a hunt last winter with pee wees prop and signed the card,he always signed except on max and when he owned reggie.and all that went on when he was pushin max for the hoy,wich he can not do any more due to a rule change sayin you can only win two hoy in the opens now.i think he told me once that five rules have been changed just over max and tony,but i don't believe the rule book says you have to sign on a win does it?...........yet

i understand if a dog wins it deserves it,but sme people want to hold them open for the world,to win a big hunt or to run for the hoy,i personally don't do it but have no problem with someone doin it,it is their perogitive.

If a dog wins it wins, it should not matter if you sign or not. If your dog wins a cast or a hunt, it should go on the books regardless of what any owner does. Take the gamesmanship out of it. It should not be left up to the perrogative of the owner to accept the win. A win is a win regardless of who is holding the lead strap. I thought it was supposed to be all about the dogs performance.????????????

Big dog

if i win i win....i will not cheet my dog bye not sigin the score card..but i dont haft to worry my pot lickers never do any good

for the record I posted this as a joke..me and Tony was kidding about it..he knew I was posting it..we got a laugh out of it. So no need to get all tore up. Just having a little fun.

Sorry,don't see the humor at all.Its unfortunate a hound like Max has to carry his owners ego around....I heard he is a hell of a dog.

i had a fealling this post was goin to turn to this,a tony upton bashfest,and i really don't think brad intended it either......................

the hateraid is startin to flow

good goin Brad,you just had to go stir up another hornets nest
I also believe that it should'nt matter if the card is signed or not,if it has the places to advance then it should.It's kinda like holding a high school kid back to play pee wee ball.

the way i see it tony dont tell anyone how to spend their entry fee money why would they care how he spends his. its his money let him do what he wants
