salti,

no hard feelings....i apologize if my post offended anyone...i am not a 'bragger' as i could care less what ppl think. on that note, back to the topic

 

SaltiDawg is an interesting name...

Then again whats a Djafari?

 

thats my last name....stop hating cause you cant pronounce it 'pra-teek'. i lived in germany for 2 years waaay back and like in spanish they pronouce a J as a Y. My last name is really Jafari...but unfortunately Germans and people who speak spanish wouldve called us Yafari...therefore they decided to put a D in front of the J...and so its stuck ....

 

HAHAHA. I know its your last name. I was just playin.

Plus you know how it is - people cant say names right. Don't try to bring the man down.

 

I bet you cats didnt know I am 50% Jamaican

My dad came over from Kingston when he was 18. anyone here speek patoi? I can hang

 

"SaltiDawg" is my Kennel Name and I've been using it for more years than you've likely been alive. It is certainly not an attempt to inure myself with anyone that feels the need to call himself a dawg.

SaltiDawg is in reference to my twenty-four years in the US Navy. "Dawg" vice "dog" because the American Kennel Club would not allow dog to be part of my Kennel Name because it is part of the name of my breed - Bulldog. "Salti" vice "Salty"... well, just because.

See, no nefarious plot behind selecting a screen name.

 

Hey Salti, I was actually looking at getting an english bulldog sometime. Do you have any recommendations on breeders in the area?

Thanks.

 

Here's George! Got him in Alabama if I recall correctly.

 

I really do like bulldogs. You ever seen the movie Van Wilder though? haha.

 

GEORGE looks nice.

This is my first attempt to post a photo. This is LARI at 17 months. She had become a Champion the month before by winning the second largest Bulldog Show in the World. Got her from her mother by C-section who is now nine-years-old and still living with me.

 

Goodness Gracious!!! thats a biggun!!

 

LARI weighed 42 pounds at that time. While that is just about right by the standard for Bulldogs, she actually was one of the smaller adults in the Ring. Many Bulldogs are overweight and suffer the same problems many overweight humans do.

 

lol.. whatever happened to the guy who needed Legal advice .. discussing dogs more important?

 

Sadly George is overweight (high 70's), but weight has become less of an issue for him after he was diagnosed with lymphoma ... Thankfully, he's now under my mom's care, and she is sparing no expense and he now has an oncologist.

 

Arjun, shouldnt you be in school instead of posting on Driver?
