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.
