First off let me clear the air , Iron Mike is a wealth of info, rarely has there been someone who knew bloodlines like he has and mostly about the Corvino blood.Personally I dont think there are many left today that know as much about "Bulldogs" in the USA & CANADA as this man and his family do...I have nothing but praise for a man (Family) who have accomplished what they have in the dogs. It is only fitting to listen and learn from him, regardless if you agree with his "opinions" This game was not made up on opinions or views but actions and he has shown that his are but plentiful in the breed we love so much.

OK Here I go...

I believe he may have mixed up the Tom dog as stopping, it is Black Tom's Sire that stop 2 times in 2 matchs and once with Little Milou where Piston had been matched and collected a forfeit (Sat night) and was then sold and was "rolled" the next day against Little Milou as he also out weighed a hog fat Milou and was in shape too.
He was all over the old dog for about 40-45 mins and then Milou (who had been taken right out of his chain and not even walked to empty out) was between his owners leg to scratch and started to crap and run at the same when he was released, when he hit Piston a dog yelped out and there was confusement on who cried, the inexperience of his owner to take him to roll so fast let the younger dog handle him as he had to go (in more ways than one) but once he let go, he was all over the Piston dog, they then switched dogs (handles) as Milous owner wanted to see his dog scratch as he loved watching him "sail" just b4 hitting the dog, and when he had piston between his legs he saw that he was not going to go on that scratch (they had scratched them about 5 times ) Well he told the other guy to let Milou go and little milou came flying across and now Piston was really protesting, they went about another 5 minbs and his owner said stop it cause he wanted to return him and he did not want him really banged up to the point he would not be taken back but Little Milou's owner said he wanted to scratch them one more time just to see "the sail" lol so he let Piston go and he just turned to the right of his legs and wanted nothing more to do with the roll any more this is when Little Milou's owner just pushed him from the rear all the way across and told the other fellow to let Milou go cause he was so pissed off at the cur who would have killed little milou so long as the dog was holding back on his stool and could barely go straight and his owner was saying this is not right something is wrong with him and he kept leaving him down longer and longer he was lucky that stupid mistake did not cost the dog his life so when he saw that the Piston dog quit straight up he went bonkers lol and just shoved him in Little Milous face for a few mins more.
The funny part to all this the next day he was talking w/Jean Louis who had sold the dog (and his son Black Tom ) telling him he stopped but he just loved that dog so much he took him back, months later while breeding Little Milou at his place (which produced Shellby that was given as a gift to Kreklijic cousin (he was the one who got the dog for Komany originally, along with the Sale of Tom, Yellow) he had set up to Match Piston again and was told he will stop, long story short he stopped again.
Bosse's reason. "He ate a bone a half hr b4" his son supposedly fed him a bone and that is what caused the dog to stop...he did not feel well. Fast Fwd, he matched him again ...against the same dog to prove his reasoning, U know the outcome. lol
He stopped again ....but a few mins longer..both around 30 mins. He did stop his own son, The Black Tom during one his matches and only 1 he ever won, I never understood how they could call Black Tom a Gr Ch cause he had stopped and also I feel that the right dog did not come along to make him stop again. My belief is if they stop once they will stop again...

Hello Zoi,
Its been awhile.
It isn't to often you get mixed up on things like this.
I was a bit surprised. Your word has always been good for me.
I had to a little reseach amd as always, I find who is whom.
As I said before, I was offered the stock when Red Dawn was bred to him.
I didn't want it. There was still dogs around at the time off Dawn bred to Ch. Shack.

I watched the caliber of dogs brought over by the woman who married the late Steve Long from Yugo. Not one of them stayed. So I felt anfd still do to stick with what is here in the west that is known proven dogs.
