JESSE ROD’S WHITEFOOT

Whitefoot was a three time winner at 43 to 44 lbs, out of Gr Ch Midnight and Indian Missy. He had one white foot so naturally I named him Whitefoot. His most famous and best fight came against Ozzie Stevens Ch Cholly Boy. At the time, Whitefoot was a 3x winner and Cholly Boy was a 4x winner. After his wins it was very difficult to find a match Twice...

TRIANGLE GANGS CH SABLE

Sable came from a breeding that took place when Triangle Gang’s Dixie 2xw was bred to Gr Ch Black Jack. Dixie was bred by Bo Rookie. She got to a slow start in her campaign, and was about three years old before she was ever rolled. That first roll was her only roll. She was rolled into a much bigger gyp and couldn’t do much more than stay alive, but...

HAVANA BOYS JUMPING JACK FLASH

I received Jumping Jack Flash at the age of eight weeks old. I bought him along with 17 other dogs off of the Latin Boys. When I went to pick up the dogs, I saw Jumping Jack in a small rabbit cage all by himself. Of course that was not his name yet, but it was soon to be. He got his name, because he would not stop jumping around...

FUNKY MEDINA’S PISTOL

The story of how GR CH PISTOL came about is as exciting as the dog was himself. Louis Hernandez bred NIGHT CAP, a double-bred daughter of GR CH ANDY CAPP, to MURPHY, a son of Jose’s GR CH BULL, to create this amazing animal. Bean Town Kennels acquired the dog as a young pup, and for reasons unknown to myself, they gave GR CH PISTOL to F.M.K. at the tender...

URBAN WARDOG’S RECCA

CH. Urban Wardog Kennel’s RECCA was bred by JA himself. He was sired by Arce’s TROUBLE, a direct son of Garner’s FRISCO ROM, and his dam was Arce’s ANNIE, who was a tight GRCH Coy’s BANJO ROM bitch. EO of UWK purchased the dog directly from JA as an eleven-month old pup and waited till the dog was fifteen months before his first bump against a much larger and older...

ZINETTI’S BLOODY MARY

In the early Fall of 1997 I bred my CH AZRA R.O.M. to Bijeljina Boys’ CH BELI, who was part of one of the greatest litters ever born here. He was a littermate brother to Bijeljina Boys’ GR CH CRNOOKI 5W, CH BELA 3W, SARENKO 2W and SIVI 1D R.O.M. AZRA was also part of another real successful litters born here. Unfortunately, the breed­ing was unsuccessful so I called Bijeljina...
