INTERVIEW WITH JERRY J. HOLLOWAY

INTERVIEW WITH JERRY J. HOLLOWAY

Taken years ago, by Dawnrest. Who was your first dog? I was given my first dog by an old dogman named Jim Searcy. Jim was from Chattanooga, TN.. The first dog I got was “SMOKEY” from A. D. Braswell. He use to pull my three children on a wooden sled with cement blocks. I built the sled for him. How long have you been interested in these dogs? I’ve been...

STONE CITY KENNELS GRCH YELLOW BUCK

Here is a little bit about a fine bulldog named “Destroyer”. His registered name was “Yellow Buck” and was bred and raised by Jesse of Stone City Kennels. Yellow Buck was sired by Gr. Ch. Buck ROM out of Stone City Kennels’ Awesome Baby ROM. Yellow Buck was dark brindle, with a red nose and he weighed about 53lbs. conditioned. His first match was at the age of two and...

FINKLE WINKLE’S CH DOLLY

Before I’ll tell you the life story of this game little 30 lbs p.w. female, I’ll tell you about her ability to produce winning long-winded hard scratching game dogs which should made any dogman proud. When bred to F.W.K.’s 1xw ”Dutch” (Maloney’s Ch. Bert x Hall’s Hot Load) she produced the 1x winner in 2.04 Milkman’s ”Spike”, defeated KKK’s ”Champ” on a hot Florida summer night, proving to be deadgame by running...

GR CH ADAMS’ ZEBO

In the early 1970’s, in North Carolina, was a young fancier named Lonzo Pratt who was just starting in the dog game and was purchasing and breeding some well bred dogs from known dog men. He had purchased a young tested gyp from J. Loposay by the name of Fay, who was sold because she turned cold and wouldn’t start for Jack Kelly and was left on Loposay’s yard by...

EVOLUTION KENNEL MACHOBUCK

Southern Kennel’s had flown in SCK’s Blondie from Ecuador to Florida to breed to Super Kennel’s Ch.357. However, the bitch did not take. At that time. Evolution Kennel’s had a Gr.Ch.Mayday-SCK’s Blondie female named Macha that was in heat. So, Evolution Kennel’s called Southern and asked if he could use the stud fee and send SK the pick of the litter female. Southern Kennel’s thought about the expense of another...

EXTREME KENNEL’S (BARNEY FIFE’S) BELFAST

This dog never won a match, but deserves to be mentioned because he was extremely game and his display was a sight to behold, anyone who was there can tell you this. Barney Fife stated that the gamest dog alive in his opinion was Belfast. Belfast was a 1XL, winning Gamest In Show. This animal is the definition of game and I would feed him in a second! His owner’s...

WHITE’S TAB ROM

This outstanding producer came into this world in a litter that would become famous, around the world. The breeding of CH JEEP rom x TABBY GIRL produced dogs like Palm’s ERNIE 3xw, Ramrod’s CH TRAMP, a 4xw that produced some serious show dogs…most of them were not registered as CH’s, but had met all the criteria to obtain it! There’s no doubt about the fact that this litter made a...

WHITE’S IRENE POR

Well, lets see where do we start with this little gyp’s tribute. I guess we can start by saying she was never shown. I received info from a very good friend and knowledgeable dogman familiar with this family of dogs, that Irene was a cold bitch. Some will ask why then is she even being written about. Why was this bitch even bred? To answer this question one should understand who the...
