GR CH SWEAT PEA

This is a story about a little black 36-38 lb ace by the name of Sweet Pea. He never had to go over the 45 min mark, shutting his oppents down in short order. Sweet Pea was whelped in September of 1998. He is out of Clemmons’ Dick and Fat Bill’s Ripper. Ripper had produced such good dogs as Tri Valleys Bree, CH Arangadanga, Wicked and other good dogs and...

CAN-AM BOYS’ CH BEETLEJUICE

Ch Beetlejuice was whelped from a breeding between Can-Am Boy’s Ch Becky & WCC’s Rock. Rock was a very good son of Garrett’s Jeep bred back to his half sister, Crenshaw’s Dolly. Dolly was a littermate to Brabham’s Gr Ch Snake. Rock was a very good dog in his own right. As a young dog he was rolled with Ch Cobra (this was when they were both young dogs.) Both...

KIRKLAND’S GR CH TEXAS

Texas’ first match was against Villarreal, which he won easily. His second match was into Mayo’s 4-time winner Plug. It went 1:15 and Plug didn’t make it in the end.  Third match was into Black Faul’s Diamond. For this fight I raised Texas’ weight up to 40 lbs. and this hurt him bad, because in the first 15 minutes Diamond never got off of his back but Texas steamed up...

OLD MOUNTAIN MAN – Lester Hughes

It was December 1989. A few days earlier we had been married and we were now driving south on the Blue Ridge Parkway to visit with one of the most respected legends in the dog game. In spite of the unfamiliar geography, we had little trouble arriving at our destination. The road we were on ran parallel to a mountain creek, and on the other side of that creek we...

ZWETTLER’S GR CH MOSES ROM

Many great and well known dogs are combined inseparable with their breeder or owner, Zettler’s MOSES is probably the most known dog off of our breeding. He is from the breeding Raging Bull (Rushin) LITTLE ROCK x ZW DEBBIE. DEBBIE was off of CHINA’S first litter, when bred to Ch. SCALLYWAG. We sold her as a pup to a friend of us. DEBBIE was a calm, well balanced and hard...

Size-Up Kennel’s Ch Heffa

Like I always enjoy doing, we will start on this small tribute by pointing out some of the Bulldogs in the pedigree which made this game dog worthy of mentioning in the history books. We can start by looking at Von’s “Zachariah”, he comes from a long line of game dogs which can be found in many of our great dog’s pedigrees. Zacharaih was a son of Boyles Ch “Bolt Action” (ROM); who...
