I saw that Ch Dooley on here (and on PedsOnline), but I am not sure that's the same dog.
The old man told me the Dooley he ran into Melonhead was an 8xW. If you look at the story on Melonhead, the Dooley in there was said to have only won 2 fights, and then lost to Melonhead in 2:40. That is the right match and right owner of the dog. The Old Man told me that Dooley fought a perfect fight, and was one of the best dogs he ever had, but that Melonhead was beyond a perfect dog. His Dooley dog did nothing wrong, fought with everything he had, yet just could not overcome THE TOTAL PACKAGE WALL that Melonhead was. When I asked if he knew about Melonhead's later defeat, he said he didn't see the deal, but he felt someone had to rub/cheat in some way to be able to beat Melonhead. He didn't think it was possible for that dog to lose (and he's been around many of the best dogs in the history of the sport).
Anyway, he never personally reported any match, to any magazine, ever, so I don't know what to say about the "2xW" comment in the mag.
I doubt The Old Man was mistaken on his dog's # of wins.
Either the writer of the mag got it wrong, or The Old Man (who was known to con people at pit side to get the money in his favor) said he only won 2 at pitside, I don't know.
But he told me Dooley was an 8xW but lost to Melonhead in close to 3 hours, 100% DG.
I also think this was before Little John's time, so I don't think it would be a son of Little John either.
Maybe someone will chime in who has contributing info.
Frosty may know more about S&K'S Doolie, and can eliminate him from that thought process totally.
Thanks for sharing Jack!
Sure thing, and yeah maybe Frosty would know if it's the same dog.
I would like to thank ya'll for the good words about cecil.my dad and granddad introduced me into the dogs but cecil was the who taught me so much. in the early 70's and 80's I was a young one who just was a tag a long- I sure wish I had payed better attention and remembered better. thanks to him I got to see so may different folks. it's funny- when ya was the old shows ya meet so many and didn't realize who the heck they were.or what reps later years they would have.

Had a 15-hr day yesterday, and didn't have time to do much, but maybe this weekend I will roll-up my sleeves and join you in a photo-load effort.
I agree, all pedigrees "come to life" with photos, and I wish everyone would pitch-in and realize this.
:cheers:
I'm getting an itch of motivation from you two also. Bill Carr has a boat load of pics he said I could take and copy. Lots of them are pit side! :D Also many that need developed, that will be interesting. lol
I intend on sharing many of them here. Jack the fact that you own the server is very appealing to me, and it is comforting because it is known. I hope this site can continue on for ever and be a permanent source for the history of our bulldogs.

I think we as dogmen can take death better, since we're so used to losing our favorite dogs, again and again, that we develop a thicker skin about death than most people (who don't experience loss as often as we).
Silverback was the last thing I loved that I lost. It's not the same as a parent, but similar enough so that I don't like to think about it.
It will be hard to deal with when mine go ... that is one of the reasons I moved back to CA was to be close to my folks again, while they're still here.

Thank you :)Quote:

:appl:VERY NICE, I don't care what they say about you Jack, you make it pretty damn hard to hate! :hatsoff:
Ill say this last little.bit for my part .I keep the thought of my mother pushed back far enough to get me through each day , but at the same time you never let go or forget..Same way with your best dogs.
Bulldog Anonymous, I am very sorry to hear about your mother. That is always a hard loss. And Jack, I hope both your parents well be around a few more years. Time flies and we were all young once. Enjoy them while they are still here. Bamaman, sorry for your loss too.
Back to topic, here are a few old 19th century to early 20th century paintings of bulldogs that you all might enjoy seeing… The first one "Bill" is very small, the dog house one is medium size, and the brindle gyp is a huge painting, almost life size.
