But not using the birddog has been the same way for several years, or at least the years I have been officiating. I have never known of a time (during my officiating career) that the birddog was ever used for all fouls.

Your point, while possibly interesting (but possibly not) and very likely true, is completely irrelevant. There was a time when the birddog was supposed to be used for all fouls. Now, the birddog is NOT supposed to be used for all fouls. It has been scaled back. Your personal experience of using the birddog makes not the least difference as to the truth or falsity of my statement above.
My statement above is true. Whatever else you want to say about birddogging is fine with me. Have a day.
