First of all I’d like to thank Andy and Bill for this excellent interview! It’s one of the best I’ve ever read! These guys helped me in many areas of the project and helped me to start when I had no other support! Signed, the editor Now here you go, have a nice time reading! See a lot of guys are big name because other people build their name up or whatever. People who don’t fight dogs, they do all kinds of build up on certain people. Their idols, and they might come up with this and this one tells that one and they come up with a big story. The way ... Читать дальше » |

OLD PETE SPARKS SAYS... Pit bulls are dogs first and "Pits" second. Keep ‘em fat and healthy and treat ‘em like pups ‘til they’re at least 18—24 months old and you’ll come out way ahead in the end. I never could understand how some men think they can "neglect" a dog until he’s "grown" and then expect him to suddenly become a "world- class athlete"! |

Snooty was a tremendous producer and a dog that has affected the world of American Pit Bull Terriers for life. Snooty sired Garner's Gr. Ch. Spike 5x, Bristol's Thor ROM, Hall's Ch Sugar, Edward's Ch Red Lady, Ch Katie, Hargrove's Spanky ROM and also the grand sire of Garner's Ch Chinaman ROM. Snooty won two matches, many said on gameness alone, and he did lose game to Crenshaw's Ch Rascal. In his match against Tom's Obnoxious Ox (4XW, Corvino/Lightner blood), Snooty was ahead at 57, when a turn was called on Ox to start the scratching. After 10 scratches, Snooty ran out of steam, at 1:39.. Wood's Snooty was orginally Wood's Snoopy until the registration was sent in and returned with a typo fr ... Читать дальше » |

The Dibo line descended from the inbred Lloyd's Pilot ( Pilot was bred at the "Red Lion Inn" in Birmingham, England and imported by Charles "Cockney Charlie" Lloyd, of Manhattan, New York City ) strain of Con Feeley of Chicago which was then selectively bred by Joe Corvino, also of Chicago and resulted in 2 key dogs, Corvino's Gimp ( Dibo's Great-Grandsire) and his litter brother Corvino's Shorty. Dibo also had some influence from the powerful strain of Frank Henry of Marietta, Ohio whose blood centered around his "Richmond" dog which was imported from Wolverhampton, England.
This Richmond blood was blended with Lloyd's Pilot blood of W.T. Delihant and great aces such as Swineford& ... Читать дальше » |

This article was written not to be a benefit. I dedicate it to you, young people who are taking the first steps. Let me tell you about the pioneer of our sport. But before we begin the story, saying that no one could tell you about Joe Corvino as I can do. And I think I have the right to express my admiration for this man as the best pit-sport. Joe worked a lot and all that he knew how, trained himself. Is to be commended, but this man twenty years ahead of its time. He never worked in favor of someone, all while being able to search for improvements in everything, whether it podkovyvaniya horses or manufacture of the tracks or other important areas of his life. Joe was a smith by profession and had a forge in the hear ... Читать дальше » |

It all started when no name jay went to southern kennels yard and saw barracuda as an 11 month old pup. Victor told jay that the pup had got into a kennel accident and stopped a 2x winner. Jay was impressed with the way the pitbull dog looked and acted and bought him on the spot. Shorty after they began to show the dog off the chain against conditioned dogs. After winning four times the dog jay called southern kennels and asked for the papers on barracuda. Vic had said if they want the papers then they should start over and make him and official registered champion. This is where the career of the dog that came to be known as the “southern legend” began. ... Читать дальше » |

MATCH RECORD

Mayday and his siblings were all impressive and well built but Mayday alwaysstood out. He was BIG, CONFIRMED, and fearless, He walked out of the vanas a puppy after the long drive, barked, and marked my kennel as HIS territory right when he hit the ground. He had a huge head, long ears and barked at the other dogs from the start. His head was always up high. He really thought he was the MAN. He was a happy and energetic pup.|
I purchased HONEYBUNCH from Maurice Carver in 1972 as a five month old pup. She was very active as Maurice had told me, I placed her on the chain and watched as she developed into one of the best looking bitches I have ever owned. HONEYBUNCH was a looker, super active on the chain and when rarely caught standing, stood like a great show horse with her legs spread wide apart. HONEYBUNCH was a great looking bitch, but was every bit as good as she looked. Over the years I have had many people and many fanciers to ask questions in regard to HONEYBUNCH'S record, ability, style and general behavior. I will try to answer some of those questions in this story. THE PIG PICKIN: Some matches were held in the Carolinas in the mid seventies. There was a ... Читать дальше » |

Throughout the history of the sporting American Pit Bull Terriers, no single dog has made quite the impact as Garrett's CH. Jeep, and that being the combination of not only his worthiness as a supreme pit dog, but the ultimate supremacy of his reproduction. Jeep was bred by James Crenshaw and sold to James Garrett as a young dog and was campaigned and brought to notoriety by James Garrett asssisted by James Crenshas. Jeep achieved his fourth win over Ozzie Stevens' Ch. Homer. This fight making history, for the caliber of these two dogs meeting in the pit is unusual in itself. Although, Jeep the victor, Homer, in his own rights, had proved to be just as good a combat dog and both dogs were truly entitiled to the legacy that they have earned through t ... Читать дальше » |
