    Dec 1980: Ten match convention in Tijuana, taken down coming back into S Diego. South county animal shelter confiscated 11 Pitbulls. Long storey short I was active duty SEALs I had a pipehitter friend of mine help me go into the SC animal shelter and I got Sorrells Johnny Walker Red liberated. Gave him back too Bert. He was a Two x winner at this point. From that point on Bert and I were fast friends. I soon left the SEALs and went back home too Fl. Fast forward to 1988. Mad&Skip were steady doing what dogmen love too do. Breed, handle condition, and, prove the blood that we had. Bert at this time was feeling the heat from the west, and decided too move to Mad&Skips and join forces. Keep in mind mad&Skip were feeding better than 70 bulldogs all down from proven stock. Joe Testiment was a ch. UncleBud was a 1xw, his brother Crazy Horse was a 1xwinner, Johnny Walker Red, a 4xw. (Got him from back from Bert some year or so after leaving SanDiego) did him 1xw now chJWR, never got the credit. Bert and Joanie moved into a yard full of proven dogs. We were no doubt in the fast lane BEFORE Bert ever showed up in Fl. The biggest mistake Mad&Skip made is we trusted Bert, too much. I hold no animosity toward bert, in fact I still talk too him regularly. I have a high regard for bert, no doubt a dogman that did his homework. Great respect for him; However, I guess the thing that bothers me the most is fromeverything behind Joe Testiment, Uncle Bud, JWR, Raisin, Sailor, Franny, Tex, (Carvers Tex) little Tex Little tee, Crazy Cameo, Crazy Blondie 2, Matty The Mouth, should be showing owned and bred by Mad&Skip. Bert was close too The Greenwoods, and when we had our parting, He changed our name on the peds, and put Sorrells on our dogs. Hey Mad&Skip were too busy doing what dogmen love too do. You no what! As all things go I'm good with all of it. As I said before I still talk to Bert and call him a friend. He only did what Maurice taught him to do. Yours in sport, Mad

    On a side note, there was a rumor last week that Bert had died. I called him and his wife answered, she said he was still sleeping. So I assume she's telling me true. Bert is very weak and it is hard too talk to him on the ph. Anyway as far as last week he was still here. I don't talk to him more than maybe once every several months. M

    Great info....it's amazing how many dogmen that are idolized by the fraternity were guilty of the most shady shit.enough of the romantisizing already lol....in my opinion there's only one way to judge a dogman and thats by the wins and losses
     
  11. This is true! I owned a daughter of Ch. Blue Monday back in the late 80's. I started out with Bert's dogs after finding out his foundation came from Bishop. But most of the west coast guys knew that. Bert knew what he was doing.
     
  12. That's the truth. If ppl really studied. They could figure it out. I always thought honeybunch was a double cracker dog. But s older gentleman day almost convinced major may have been her sire. Think stu major an cracker was the buckskin side of carver an sack Reno an widow was the blk side.

    Mad and Skip top notch dogmen for sure. They conditioned ,handled and bred many dogs for Bert behind the scenes .Never got the credit they deserved .
