Rest in Peace to Mr. Gaston who passed away 5:20 am this morning. My condolences to his wife, daughter and family. It was a pleasure meeting him and speaking with him on his influence with the Hollingsworth/ Buck line of dogs.

RIP Mr. Gaston, and condolences to his family.
We're losing a lot of the older dogmen this year.... Very sad as their knowledge is lost forever.

Rest in peace Mr. Gaston. Condolences to his family and friends. This year really starts with some very bad news as he now is the third in a row of the older dog men that passed away in the first two months of 2014. Sad that none of the ones which passed recently summarised their knowledge in a book for the younger generation of dog men.
May anyone can tell some more about Undertaker Kennels? Maybe any interviews, stories, etc., to share? I have seen the name in many pedigrees but didn't find any other information on Undertaker Kennels. To what extend was he/they involved in Tom Ratliff's Ch. Butkus R.O.M.?

I'm interested to know more about him and it would be nice when you could tell us a bit of what he told you regarding his involvement with the Hollingsworth/Buck dogs.

Gaston owned Ch Butkus' sister Miss Leaky ROM ... believe he bred her to Truman's brother Bodine ... had a lot of Buck/Hollingsworth dogs and others.

I'll try to write a few lines in the next issue about Gaston's dogs and Charles Floyd as well...

Bred up Gaston's Ch. 357 who is the father of Gr. Ch. Machobuck. So yes, the old man left his mark in the game. .. And in my legacy as well.

One of my true regrets as a breeder is not doing this breeding (http://www.thepitbullbible.com/forum/bulldog_testbreeding.php?sire_id=665&dam_id=3) of Missy to her cousin Ch Boy ...
.
That would have been a good breeding Jack!!!

How did you choose him. What did you see? Why choose him and machobucks mom. Did you have an idea that the breeding would work like that or is it just taking chances putting good dogs together.
