The worst memories those guys had to live with were the times they were returning to base with ammo left to use on "all tarrgets of opportunity" and had to give horse drawn carts full of Nazi ammo / food and supplies ...."THE WHOLE NINE YARDS" of their NINE YARD LONG BELTS OF MACHINE GUN AMMUNITION.Rock » 07 Oct 2022, 8:03 pm » wrote: ↑ Your dad was part of the greatest generation (an overused phrase for sure) but still pertains to the real heros before our time.

I think Golden Retreivers are in a league of their own too.

Too bad they are so expensive. So ridiculously expensive.There are no finer dogs to watch over your children.
My girl [OLD YELLER] was only $160 at the Animal Shelter and I think a much better choice than supporting careless Breeders who use inbred dogs to make a living.

Dad loved horses and could never forgive himself for those "BIG EYES" those "NAZI HORSES" had when he made eye contact with them on a strafing pass.

Funny thing about Dad's squadron is only one guy was shot down / made a POW ...but several of his friends lost their lives after the war in civilian aviation accidents.Rock » 07 Oct 2022, 8:53 pm » wrote: ↑ Damn dude. He died young. My dad passed a year and a half ago at age 89. I miss him everyday. He never served in the US military but I made up for it by spending more than six years, including time as a Vietnam era veteran.

My dad was flying a P-51 after the war with the ANG one afternoon over Alameda when one of the landing gear legs refused to lower down into the locked position. He had to raise the other leg and belly land the plane in the grass off to the side of the runway at 100plus mph and that was the last time he ever flew.
84 war time missions with no mech failures and that is why he decided that his luck had run out...Dad also liked to talk about "THE LAW OF AVERAGES"...no question why.
Ha. That's an amazing story. God bless your dad for keeping us free.84 war time missions with no mech failures and that is why he decided that his luck had run out...Dad also liked to talk about "THE LAW OF AVERAGES"...no question why.
Dad recogized some of his unit's camera footage on the TV show "12 O'clock High"..[which was really about pure bombers..not bomber / fighters like P-47s]Rock » 07 Oct 2022, 9:15 pm » wrote: ↑

I've owned several chow mixes - husky chow, collie chow and shepherd chow. Owned a tri-breed - aussie pop, husky.shepherd mama. Those four were the dogs of legend - owned quite a few more, but not dogs of legend.GHETTOBLASTER » 07 Oct 2022, 8:39 pm » wrote: ↑ Genetics is a CRAP SHOOT but I can proudly say I have never owned any AKC PUREBREDs....only 2 mutts that LOOKED LIKE PUREBRED GOLDENS...!!
Both were 1/2 Lab...1/2 Golden...both lived beyond age 17
Funny how the Golden physical traits were dominant with both.

That's very cool testimony to hear about the Dauchsund because it seems to have become a vanished breed .As a kid I would see them randomly but I can not remember the last time I saw one.Cannonpointer » 07 Oct 2022, 10:01 pm » wrote: ↑ I've owned several chow mixes - husky chow, collie chow and shepherd chow.

The only other dog of legend I was associated with was was a full blood dachshund with champion blood lines imported from Germany. Don't laugh - that dog was a 30 pound land shark with champion blood lines. No varmint of any stripe had a chinaman's chance within a country mile of that beast. But he wasn't strictly my dog. He was my granddad's dog - though I dug the hole and shed the tears, cuz by the time the dog died at 14, my granddad had passed.

A dog like that served a purpose as a working breed and would have been an asset to anyone with a ranch and a growing family.
In other words..no totally gay piece of ****. concrete jungle dwelling Libtard would have any use for a SELECTIVELY BRED, NOBLE RACED DOG like the Dachsund......
Yep...!Cannonpointer » 07 Oct 2022, 10:02 pm » wrote: ↑ The best thing to mix a goldie with is another goldie - finest **** dogs.
