Ditto Bulldoghistorian. V.J. was doing well the last time I spoke with him a few months back. Need to give him a check up call though. V.J. is no longer active and has a handful of dogs. Believe a younger Mexican dog man has some of his stock left. Uses some of what was left of those dogs crossed to some of his own choice of dogs.

V.J. and our best time in the dogs were in the 70's. The 70's and 80's were the better years for most serious dog men back then. He was active to a point into the 80's and 90's,some in the 2000 years, after moving back to Texas.

I always felt our dogs needed a good infusion of the original Colby bloodline. Found out a few years back that V.J. knew and had one of the Colby families descendants that still had some of those Colby dogs. Living not far from where he lived. Wished he had at least bred one of his best bitch dogs to one of those Colby stud dogs.

I was working on a blend of Carver/Creel/ Coplin/Boudreaux/Ed Crenshaw dogs blend of descended dogs. My brood Bitches were old,a hateful dog man killing some of my main dogs and I was getting old. Time and the will just gave out. LOL

Overtime with no safe access to a good veterinarian/medications and strict federal/State laws. I was getting close to a very nice retirement package so cashed it all in.

No doubt this incredible breed of dogs are so addictive. No one really ever gets it out of their system. If one ever held a game dog between their legs,feel the lean of the dog into your arms and that tail whipping your back legs. When release your dogs is sounded,there is a adrenal rush that no drug can duplicate to the mind or body.

I have seen some deep game to dead game dogs that would raise the hair on your neck and make you want to weep. I was not able to go.V.J. said that Ozzie's Homer dog was so incredibly game in the JeepxHomer match. That on Homer's last scratch he felt the hair stand up on his neck and arms. Cheers
