WSK, my opinion is this. I knew Bob Finley. Myself along with V. Jackson had chats with him in person time to time. He never made mention that Bo was bred off the Bullet dog. If Loposay told someone that tale later on after the Jeep dogs got popular. He needed to have contacted Bob and Ralph Greenwood about this matter. Let Mr. Greenwood know he had falsified the papers on the Bo dog. I am sure Mr. Greenwood would have asked Loposay what other dog's breeding's did you falsify? No one never knew for sure how the Red boy dog was bred or the Bill Cotton's Bullet dog.
Don Mayfield even tried to smear the breeding on the V. Jackson Hank dog in a article he wrote in the SDJ or His magazine. IMHO I felt like the D. Mayfield's Cotton and Lightning I/II dog's blood lines were far better over all than his Sunshine dogs. I wished I could have gotten more of those dogs.
The V.Jackson Hank dog was taking some of the attention off his Pure Bred Tudor Sunshine dogs. LOL Along with a minor personnel problem of a puppy deal between him and Vernon. The V.J.'s Hank dog was one of the very best match and producing dogs to come off his yard. Hank was just as bad as the Pit General dog or badder. Don was cutting his nose off to spite his face. LOL
There is another hearsay pedigree bull story over on the onlines pedigree site. Said to have been stated by Lonzo Pratt about Jocko/Argo/Apples etc. litter. Claiming Mr. Chavis bought those dogs along with the Jim dog at the same time. Were all Pratt bred dogs.
I was sitting in with a chat session at Grady Cummings along with J. Spruill. Grady did mention to us about taking Mr. Chavis to Lonzo's yard. Of Mr. Chavis buying a puppy not puppies from Mr. Pratt. It was a known fact back then if you paid Lonzo the full asking price for a puppy. You would probably never get the registered papers on the dog. He would not spend the extra money to get the papers. Mr. Hughes and others would pay part of the money for the pups and the rest when they got their papers.
Mr. Chavis made his living as a carpenter and was never rolling in the money. I doubt he could have afforded to buy four dogs from Mr. Lonzo Pratt back then. A lot of the money put up on Jocko and his siblings was backed by M. Gainey and the twin Parker brothers that was kin to Mr. Gainey. One of the nick names of one of those Parker twins was Greasy. They also backed A. Howle and put up the main money on the Face bitch.
Jocko and his siblings got their stamina/ mouth and foul fightning styles from the V.J. Hank dog. Their powerful build, tensile strength and being big boned dogs at any given weight. Came from the Stidham/Decordova/Beal bloodlines that was in that Rast's Quennie bitch. Queenie was a strong and stout made up bitch. Cheers
