    Geachiman was missing the top of his muzzle too. Not anything quite like Nazis though. That would be a tough thing to keep out of sight.

    S & W'S GRAND CHAMPION BADGER ... ROMEP
    This is a story about a dog that many people consider an ace! Yes a legend in his own time. Viewed by many as the best thirty-four pound male that ever lived. Many of us are still looking for that once in a lifetime ace. Bobby has been fortunate enough to'have had more than one in his lifetime! Bobby has owned the likes of Register of Merit Ruben, Champion Did Billy who is also a ROM along with Champion Tusk, Champion Tootsie Roll, Champion Fox, Champion Campesino and many other ace dogs. Out of all these the one closest to his heart is Grand Champion Badger.
    Grand Champion Badger is out of the very famous Smith and Waltons Ruben and Williams
    Mija litter, this was a tremendous litter of dogs. This breeding produced Champion Fox, Grand Champion Badger and the fabulous Taylor dog. Taylor was famous for his contest with Champion Bullshit, a contest that Taylor proved to be dead game. Ruben was a double grandson of Hyde's Satch and Bloody Sunday, the Mija bitch was a Hienzl / Carver cross, she was sired by the dead game Hienzl's Bummy. Well, enough said about these other dogs, I'll get on with the story of Badger
    Badger's first contest was into the School Boys who were using a good one from a -Hammonds / Patrick cross-named Ronnie. This was a very good show as both dogs swapped it out with all: hey had in the stifle. Soon it was evident with all that were there, that Badger was pulling ahead with his hard mouth. The School Boys had to pick Ronnie up at fifty-three minutes as Badger was just to rough for him to handle and minutes later it proved to be fatal for Ronnie.
    Diamond P's Waylon was Badger's victim for number two and this proved to be an extremely lopsided match. Badger dominated Waylon from start to finish, He worked the backend and the front end. In others worked he would-grab anything he could get to that looked good. Waylon's owner conceded at the thirty-five minute in an attempted to save him and Waylon proved to be the second dead game dog that Badger had faced.
    Championship was the goal of Bobby on this outing and wanted nothing, but to go into another first class unbeatable dog his name was Cox and Peek's Bloody Billy. Billy was also a two-time winner and in the words of the dogmen in Mississippi, Badger did not have a chance. Billy was also bred down from Hyde's Satch and Bob Cox was never easy to beat. The night these two met was a show to be remembered, it took place at a very active spot as there was seven other contests taking place making this quite some convention. Badger worked Billy's backend with everything he had going right through him and winning his Championship in 52 minutes. Bob Cox later approached Bobby Smith that night and said he was embarrassed as the way the match turned out. Later that night the judges of the eight-match show came to the decision that Champion Badger won best in show. At this show there were many good ones going including Sorrell's Champion Uncle Bud, but let me stress that when the votes were being totaled There was no doubt in the judges mind who was to take the coveted trophy for best in show, Champion Badger.
    Champion Badger's fourth match was against Benson's Dancing Fox from a Patrick / Benson bloodline. This was Badger's shortest outing lasting only three minutes. Champion Badger severed a femoral artery immediately and was going down last. Benson showed great sportsmanship by picking up Fox at three minutes, the judge for this event was the author, of three books on our dogs and said that Champion Badger was one of the best dogs he had ever seen. He told me this when I interviewed him recently for THE TIMES he also said that Badger was the roughest, most punishing and hard biting dog that he had the, pleasure of seeing. To me, that was an impressive statement to make!
    Champion Badger's fifth fight for his Grand Championship was against Mr. Nice Gay and Mad Mike's Billy Balls. At this show there was a bitch in heat at the sight and the scent was rampant to the dogs. This is the reason for the way Champion Badger acted the first forty minutes, as he humped the air, but Badger got tired of being bit and started doing what he was famous for! Champion Badger got on Billy's stifle and just started eating away. Billy Balls was a Chris Wilkerson bred dog; sired by Wilkerson's Clainy out of Wilkerson's Tipsy. Well once Champion Badger got started there was no stopping him and Billy Balls was history. They picked him up at 1:22 to save him, Billy Balls made a good courtesy scratch! With this fifth win Badger became an official Grand Champion !!!
    Grand Champion Badger has also proved to be quite a good stud as he has already produced one champion. This Champion is known as Champion Gloves. He also has one two time winner and numerous one-time winners. He was sold to some fanciers in Ireland who plan on breeding him quite extensively. Shortly before Bobby sent the dog to Dublin he took him to a sperm bank and has got enough sperm for twenty-five litters of
    pups.
    In summation without the proper dog man behind him Grand Champion Badger might not have become a famous dog. All the credit for Grand Champion Badger and his littermates should go to Bobby and his partner Willis, for without their foresight to make this breeding we would never have known a dog named Grand Champion Badger.

    Daly's (Smith & Walton's)
    GR. CH. BADGER ROMEP

    TL Williams of California bred "BADGER" in 1983. He won 5 matches at 34 to 35 lbs and had a name for being one of the best at his weight in the USA. He was three quarter Ronnie Hyde (Carver) bloodline and one quarter Howard Heinzl bloodline.
    In his litter there were other well-known dogs, such as William's "TAYLOR", a brindle 1 x winner, 1 x loser. I lost in a great battle with Steve's CH. "BULLSHIT". Another brother was Smith & William's CH "FOX", a brindle 3 x winner at 39 lbs. A sister was William's "LUMPY", a 1 x winner at 34 lbs, a red and white bitch that looked like "BADGER". Also a 1 x looser was Padilla's "MOLLY", who proved to be very game. "BADGER" produced three Champions in the USA, Crazy Canuct's CH. "JUANTEZ", LA Dream Team's CH. "LITTLE HEN" and Power House Kennel's CH. "LARGE MARGE". Some others produced in the USA are Smith & Walton's "WHITTER", a 1 x winner. Smith & Walton's "JOSIE", to 1 x winner. Smith & Walton's "BLAKE", a 2 x winner. Buffalo's "OZZIE" to 2 x winner.
    "BADGER" came to Ireland and got himself a new owner in the way of Bo Daly. I have retired "BADGER" as a stud dog. Here are some dogs that won in Ireland and England; Nailer's CH. "BOB", a black 4 x winner, 2 x looser. K & K's "JESSE", a 1 x winner, red and white female at 311bs. Ricky B's "TIMBER", a 1 x winner, red 45 1/2 lbs. Codd & Quinn's "RADAR", a 1 x winner and 1 x looser, red 48 lbs. T. Jordan's "PARVO", a 1 x winner and 1 x looser, red 34 lbs. Others that lost that were sired by "BADGER" proved very game and some did not; GOB's "CHERRY" 1 x looser female. K & K's "FERRET", at 1 x looser, red female at 32lbs. Sloane's "TOKER", at 1 x looser male at 35 1/2 lbs. Nailers "BLOSSOM" a 1 x looser, black female lost to GR. CH. "JENNY." Byrne's "GREMLIN", a 2 x looser at 31 lbs lost and proved very game to CH. "CULCHIE".
    Nailer's CH. "BOB" was bred to RFC's (K & K's) FERRET, and produced the dog known as "GIMP", at 32 lb. dog, who lost his first match, but returned to defeat the same dog at a later date. I won 2 matches in total. His brother RFC's "SOCKS" beat two dogs, one in Ireland and the other in England. Another brother RFC's "JOHN
    JOE" won one match and lost one match. The "GIMP" dog was bred to Miley's "LOU", a sister to RFC's GR. CH. "JENNY", to produce a deep game dog called RFC.'s "TYSON", who defeated the well known dog, Jordan's "VINCENT", in 2 hours and 49 minutes. "TYSON" went on to produce RFC's "NORMAN", who defeated Ricky B & McCallum's "RINGO"
    Codd's "ZULU" a brother to "NORMAN" is still alive and at stud. GR. CH. "BADGER" appears 5 times, up close on his pedigree.
    Another son of GR. CH. "BADGER" called Elwood's "BARNEY" (a brother to Nailers "BOB") was bred into the Farmer Boy's strain, in one litter to Farmer Boy's "ONE EYED FLOSSY". They produced Farmer Boy's "BLACK SPIDER", a 1 x winner and 1 x looser black dog at 42 lbs, Farmer Boy's "BLACK TARA" a black 33 lb female, and Ricky B's CH. "CULCHIE" a black 30 - 31 lb female who won three matches and lost one at 32 1/2 lbs, which was too much weight to give away.
    CH. "CULCHIE" was bred to Farmer Boy's CH. "SKATEBOARD" to produce three males, two of which won some matches. Farmer Boy's "SEANSEAN" was a 1 x winner at 33 lbs, and Bulldog Sanctuary & Belfast Boy's "HAGLER" who killed his opponent in less than 30 minutes. And in another great match he proved to be deep game against RFC's "JABBS" a son of CH. "CURSTOPPER."
    In the GAME DOG, there was talk of the mating between GR. CH. "BADGER" and GR. CH. "SHELLY", I forgot how many pups were born, but there was doubt as to "BADGER" siring the litter as one of the pups was hairy like a Lurcher. None of the pups turned out good or were bred from. "BADGER" was bred ten times. He never sired many pups and didn't have a huge impact on the dogs of Ireland, but there are dogs like CH. "CULCHIE", Codd's "ZULU" and others that will keep his blood in the country.

    Forever-So REAL Quintuple Grand Champion

    Megabyte`s CH Raul 4xw

    Sire: SCORPIO'S T-TOP 1xW,1xL
    Dam: NEW ONE'S MIKAYLA
    Sex: male
    Chain Weight: 17.5 kg-18 kg. (38.58 pound)
    Titles: CH 4xW
    The Southerner once told me, “I will never own one like him ever again”. That was soon after he lost CH. Diamond Dan. It was not until the very same thing happened to me that I fully understood the extend of his words. CH. Raul 4xw lost his life doing what he did best on Sunday night, 5 September 2004. Let me reflect on the life of an exceptional dog that was over in 3years 3mnths. There was an uncharacteristic urgency from Megabyte to pit this dog against the best Cape Town had to offer. Even his two breeding were done with a haste that pre-empted his speedy exit from this world. He was bred the last time the day after his second match. Seven of his offspring are on the ground to try and emulate their father. He found no other bitches worthy carriers of his sperm, only a daughter of CH. Joshua and another daughter of CH. Thunder were privileged enough to bear his offspring.

    Nothing in his pedigree suggested anything to get excited about. I was told to roll him but not to expect much, and not to even consider breeding to him as he was so scatter-bred that nothing good could come from it. As it turned out both predictions were wrong. CH. Raul defied the wisdom of some experienced dogmen. I think it was for this reason why everybody always expected him to loose. After every match the words always were, “Congratulations, but I don’t think he will win the next one” For his forth match Sandman, Hudson Hawk kennels and Coastline Kennels combined resources to challenge him. Their inbred Bolio was the hottest thing since chili, but cried like a baby when the Bullyson got hold of him. Zombi is now affectionately called Grombie. As all exceptional dogs, RAUL made his opponents look like chickenfeed. There was always a question about the quality of his opponents even though some of them later won matches against other dogs. Even 20G Jasper did not escape the wrath of CH. Raul, and he is a better than average dog, in my humble opinion. A novice handler ruined his teeth in unnecessary schooling. By the time his career started he had to adapt his style to make up for his shortcoming. In his four matches he displayed four different styles. It was almost like he had a different style for every dog. You could not select a dog to combat his style, as he would change it on the night. His matches were usually made while he was fighting, because everybody was convinced that they had a dog for him. Nobody liked him either because his parents were curs, or because he killed their charges or his fighting style were not convincing to them. Even after winning his fourth match I had three potential opponents phoning me to match into the Champion. What arrogance!!! Don’t they know that is exactly why great dogs like GR.CH.Yellow became an 8xwinner? Well, for CH. Raul it was not to be. Two weeks after his fourth time out the BOUNCER started conditioning his next opponent, although the date was only set for 7mnths later. Such was the fear that gripped the hearts of his opponents. Nobody wanted to loose into a dog that had no fangs. Raul was still recovering from hunting when a son of GR.CH.Gritler got off the chain and did what a son of GR.CH.Lukane could not do. It was like the Grand Champions conspired against CH. Raul to get to the title of GRAND CHAMPION. Raul was driven backwards into a fence where his collar got stuck. Roy Jones then took out the shoulders of a defenseless opponent who choked to death. The novice escaped with minor wounds to the jaws. Even if I never own one like him again, I will count myself among the chosen few who were fortunate enough to own an ACE… Many thanks to Freddy, Lawcy, Bunny, my friends in Kimberley and everybody else who supported CH.RAUL. We know Cape Town can sleep peacefully again, now that the champ is gone. Go well great little warrior, you have kicked more butts in 1year3mths (4matches) than many, in a full lifetime.

    THE MEGABYTE

    1.Raul vs. ACE ( 2003)

    Raul (Eli, Redboy, Bolio) Ace (Triple Junior)

    Time: 36mins

    Weight: 18kg

    Raul proofed to be the complete package. No out of holds, or turns. Ace is picked up and scratched “game”

    2. Raul vs. Chico (2003)

    Chico (Snooty line)

    Time: 13mins

    Weight: 17.5kg

    Chico cannot handle the Bullyson and is picked up “game”.

    3. Raul vs. Lazlo (2xw) (2004)

    Lazlo (Son of CH. Diamond Dan)

    Time: 1hr.05

    Weight: 18kg

    Raul’s mouth (minus 1 and .5 fangs) is too much for “The Lazz” It is all over by 50mins. The more experienced dog men are too embarrassed to pick up. Their dog is sent to Bulldog heaven while in the box. Raul is declared Champion at 1hr05 when Lazlo collapsed in the corner while trying to scratch.

    ANDRE GIROUX..GREAT DOGMAN!!!
    Andre Giroux was a French Canadian who showed Americans that we did not have the monopoly on game bred American Bull Terriers. He is kown as, and definitly was, a top handler, conditioner, and match maker. I feel that his greatest talent was the ability to know which dogs to use for breeding and how to most effectively cross them. He was similar to one of his peers, Maurice Carver, in the respect of producing some of the best American Gamedogs of his time, although Andre lived in Montreal, Canada his entire life. Andre found good dogs where he could, was extremely selective on individuals, but he never became overly focused on one bloodline.

    Andre culed or lost testing what most dogmen would have used for a foundation. He owned some of the best, then defeated the rest. While I was still a novice, Andre versed me on how in order to be successful in the dog game that I must learn to keep my heart in my wallet. He versed me on other ideologies regarding the dog game during our many conversations about the breeding, schooling, and training of American Gamedogs, and as to the importance of tending to a dog’s mental well being.

    Those bits of advice still carry the same impact as I continue to learn as I go along. The reason that most of his lineage has not continued as most had expected is that many people were mating a pair solely because the name Giroux appeared on the pedigree. Giroux was clever enough not to limit his focus on an ego tunnel, but instead on a realistic objective promoting world wide success amid one of the most enigmatic of sports. Such is a practice that Andre almost never allowed himself to slip into, but one of his instincts did directly backfire on a large scale. The exception was when Andre stopped a brother to Brousseau’s Ch.Ben named Gunner Jr., which was sired by Ch.GunnerROM, and out of Giroux’ Bonnie in a roll while not fully matured but matched him anyway because of his punishing mouth.

    Ch.Gunner Jr. won 4 and then was used for stud by many Canadian enthusiasts only to find that he was throwing mostly hard mouthed curs. Gunner Jr. was the dog Andre rolled against his recently purchased aging, retired stud from Patrick, GrCh.Hank. After 20 minutes with Jr., Hank was for sale again and was fortunately purchased by Captain America to be used with much success, just as the Californians were enjoying with the Hank blood through Ch.Little BootsROM and GrCh.Double Trouble. Captain America reached the pinnacle of his breeding program when a son of Hanks named Sir Douglas was put over his Alexis bitch, resulting with Captain America’s GrCh.King Arther that won his final outing as game as the game ones come by winning a war over PSK of NY’s Assassin at 41.5lbs.

    Danny “Tattoo” Powell was a protege of Giroux and he seemed to be the only man beside of Alan Waldman, Louis Vinagro, James Crenshaw and Camp who knew how to successfully continue to propagate the Giroux lineage by keeping a mixture of the old Trahan’s Ch.Rascal and Carver’s Black Widow blood through Ch.Gunner over the Tudor stock through either Maloney’s Davis or GrCh.Hank. Danny Powell purchased one of the best sons of Giroux’ Trip, named Ch.Rocky that was a dog winning 2 mathces in one night, back to back, though the 2nd was not counted as a legitimate win. The other Ace Tattoo aquiredfrom Giroux’ wife, Lise, was Ch. Our Gal Sunday, one of the hardest bitches of modern times as she won all of her matches while never passing the 21 minute mark.

    Andre phoned me a few times over the years to fill me in on the progress of his dogs and to ask about mine. Once was when Andre unfolded a story about how the old Bear dog which he purchased from Joe Orday came up missing. Andre told me that he found out who had stolen his old stud, and took a drive to see if what he had heard was true. After looking in the man’s backyard he walked to the front door and politely knocked. As the man opened the door asking “Yeah, what do you want?” Andre answered with 3 spent .38 caliber cartridges. He then calmly walked into the backyard again to get his dog, and went back home. Serious charges were pending an investigation, but Andre justly walked away from that mess with out doing any time.

    Although Andre lived in the city, in an apartment building with virtually no yard to speak of, he never had a dog stoeln from him gain. In fact when people moved into his apartment building, he would farm out a pup to them as he had with his other tenants so they could raise it for him. Imagine if that man owned acreage. We may still be reading and talking of his dogs today.
