I'm real sorry, I had not seen your question. I don't have plenty time during the week and lately even the weekends are
way too short...(I need/have to call a cpl of ppl for the mills) I will, please bare with me.

As for the quote, it's from a poem from Mackay (English)
Lovely set of words, I'm happy you enjoyed them as well.

As for Tornado's show it was a Giroux bloodline (Via Ti Mousse, Corvino bloodline itself) that was
placed in the box with her. Andre had been dead at that time for over a dozen yrs.
In fact it got so weird in the end, someone actually had Allen stop madness (Tornado) picked up to stop the match so she wouldn't die in the end.
The match was more or less finished (a handle had been done) but a wager was placed that Kenny Allen did not really think much about it.
Which was, Tornado couldn't finish her in the box, so he figured it was as good as done... With a little time.
What he did not take into account was his dog was not used the weather we have up here in the winter, late fall as it was.
At the rate she was going to finish her,, she would have burnt herself out so much, she (they were hoping) would have started to get too cold, with using stored energy being used up hypothermia starts to set in and eventually die from the cold, not the show. It did not help the condition she was in after that battle as well. To me, she showed that night to all that thought she might not be able to take what she dishes out. She sure showed everyone that night, she was as game as any and better than most
Finally (Good dogman) said enough of this bullshyt, either pick up your dog or its over.
We will get a handle and is your turn to scratch, do you want to see if your dog is really Deadgame or prefer a loss, game. Picked up.
Made no difference to me, because after they picked their dog I believe they succeeded with what they wanted to do.
I never got anyone to tell me what happened to Tornado after that match... They said she died a few months later, but I think maybe sooner and they just never said anything about that.
Again this is just my thoughts,i can not prove it, no matter the dogmen up here at the time really believed they succeeded.

Long story short, she was an awesome dog, and after seeing her, I can't imagine her losing to any other female her weight.
Now that's a bold statement as there were some great bitches during her reign and some just before that.2 that come to mind Shady Lady, Q of H's (weight will vary) but quality of bitches ? Extraordinaire
