SEADENSUN’S GR CH GRITLER ROM
SEADENSUN’S GR CH GRITLER ROM
Seadensun’s GRCH Gritler is a 62.5% inbred from GRCH Yellow breeding with 25% caver blood and 12.5 % inbred CH Saloon breeding. He is a very well conformed dog and his owner’s house dog.
He won easily over Mamba, a 2x winner that was the best prospect at that stage, an above average dog. Even after 4 wins to his credit, many people still said he had it too easy and that his gameness was never really tested, only after Chilli Baba you could see what a great dog he is. He died after the match only to be revived by his crew, and the 5th he was tested further, for nigger caused a lot more damage in one match than all the other combined. In my opinion it takes a great dog to make a comeback from such a beating and still win under 40min. On his Last scratch he nearly scratched nigger and company out of the box. He is currently one of the all-time greats in South Africa, in all classes, especially yellow class. He is retired and did us proud becoming a GR CH after his sire GR CH sir Thomas 7xW POR and also producing 2 xGRCH’s himself, GRCH Talouse 6xw and GRCH Countdown 7xw. Now if that’s not the making of a true game dog then what is?
Gritlers blood line was imported from the United States in 1987 by Brainy Smurff, the dog Tant’s David POR was later sold to K. Botha for he did not like the dog as a pup. K. Botha later made a brother-sister mating which did not work well, but when crossed with caver/saloon dogs, now that seems to hit the spot. They performed so well that one cannot actually believe that these match dogs could come from such mediocre parents and also produce champions in return. Maybe this highly inbred strain just wanted an outcross to show its hybrid vigour? Good luck to this well established bloodline may Gritler and his blood’s legacy live on forever. (By Sunnyboy)
