He was 11 or 12 in that picture. He was old and sickly because he had an incredibly hard life the first 6-8 years. I can't vouch for 17 but he did win once over one of the Gaston Buck bred dogs in a short order RIP and then again over a G-Force Virgil/Clemmons Maverick/Sixbits bred dog. Both of those were RIP shows. He was extremely intense with a tremendous amount of mouth and he throat checked dogs early. The Gaston Buck bred dog was a one hold show. They were released and his first hold was a deep full grip in the throat and he never came out. Seems like it took 15-20 minutes to make a handle but it was over before that.

This is a female I had some time ago. Her littermate brother ended up a lot like the Ritz dog. It sounds odd to say, but their fatal character flaw was simply they would not quit. They lived in a less than ideal place where they were pulled off the chain every time someone wanted to see two dog's fight. Ramera de Negra's littermate brother went over an hour four-five-six Saturdays in a row. The fifth and sixth were done on top of injuries from #1 that were never healed and barely treated. There is no telling how many dogs he stopped by just not stopping himself. Average mouth, average ability but rough and durable, with enough heart for ten dogs.
Ritz fell into a similar situation early on. EWO
