milo

I also read he suffered from a slipping patella and was retired from stud services after that.

 

think the dog with a bad leg was Pilot. he was a son of milo.
broke his leg jumping from a truck window when young.

 

A good dog has 1000 differnt stories a bad dog is unknown.

The story is true about pilot, heard with is bad leg he stil was a good dog better then some famous ones.

 

Yes,B2 was a very good female by all account.
Not sure if it was the leg problem or the owners problem on him being retired.
He did pass something good on several other offspring including PIlot & at least two other sons.
His owner thought a fair bit of him & he is a straight enough lad.

 

as you say jonnim thats your opinion and i have mine.

 

How you doin redbill...cant remember where i read it was an article by Milos owner said he had sufferd with a bad leg from a youngster which was made worse by 7 mile daily walks ended with him havin an operation...aricle also said he loved to work with the ferrets...sounded like an owner that genuinly enjoyed putting the hours in with the dogs

 

no Nash thats not correct

 

the owner did think a lot of him........

 

so right Skipper,thats the thing with these dogs,especially 20 odd years since i saw him last,my memory isnt what it used to be or should be !! i have some photo's some where of him and red,ill try and find them and stick them up here,they are in the loft with so much other dog bits and a collection of books that i might sell or dust off.......

 

saying that does any one remember the bulldog the owner of milo had,another show dog,name of dog was kruger,think he sold him......was 20 years ago so i might have same second name.

 

Remember him well. Think that new owner kept irish bred staffords too. Cropped ears come to mind on Kruger,but then again my memory is similar to yours. Although he was nothing of note,he did sire several good offspring in one litter i knew of. Very good female & an even better male. I done a breeding between the two,but she devoured them as soon as they dropped. Never did get a living pup out of her.....

 

thats him Finito,cropped ears for sure,i got picks of him some where...thanks

 

big old dog he was, milo's owner did end up selling the dog.

 

cheers sunbeam !! think he also had a big white dog called ice

 

Yes,your right on Ice. White & 2 eye patches ?
Billy's litter sister was another ok bulldog.
In fact the owner's kept the two breeds at the same time.
Very much away from them type of dogs for many a year,but his eye's still light up when you talk on the stafford or he see's one.
If i remember right,he had the Rickey dog & never thought much of him.
Jocko,RJ3,Belcher etc were other staffords owned at one time or other by that yard.

 

No problem mate.

 

cheers finito,sunbeam good to have a chat on things bygone with out folk getting hysterical on here.

@Nash no worries mate
