Andre Giroux Andre Giroux was a French Canadian who showed Americans that we did not have the monopoly on game bred American Bull Terriers. He is kown as, and definitly was, a top handler, conditioner, and match maker. I feel that his greatest talent was the ability to know which dogs to use for breeding and how to most effectively cross them. He was similar to one of his peers, Maurice...
Howard Heinzl, was born in Chicago, April 30, 1914. He was raised on the south side, where games of sand lot football filled his days. There were no referees around to blow the whistle every time there was a little “piling on” or someone received a good kick in the nose, and every game ended in a fight! Sure it was a little rough, but was considered a lot of...
Garner’s Scar ROM Not many dogmen know much about Brute. Most can only guess how this dog performed, produced and why he plays such a significant role in our breeding program.

Bass, he was rated one of the best. During the mid 1970’s and...
IMPERIOS KENNEL’S CH LA DENTISTA I took a first peek at her when she was about 14 months old. she started out as a little better than average in most areas, but i was always impressed with how smart she was and how great she moved around the pit. As schooling progressed she continued to improve very rapidly, her mouth went from average to some serious 9 or 10 and she began...
GEIST’S EASY Easy’s story for me began back in the summer of 1984 while browsing through the August 1982 issue of the Pit Bull Gazette. On page thirty-seven a breeder named Kent Reid had two litters of pups advertised for sale. For some reason the pedigree of the “Pups Soon” caught my eye. I guess what caught my eye, right then and there, and made me decide that I had to have one of these...
