Tudor didn't ever tell me he imported any dogs. I lived and was raised 10 miles from him. I think I know about as much as anyone about his dogs. There were lots of Henry dogs around for Earl to get from people in the USA. He liked dogs that had been tried. He didn't care how they were bred as long as he could win with them. He constantly took in new bloodlines. He was always adding new stuff to his bloodlines. There is a Amstaff called Ipso Facto added around 1965 to his dogs. He also got a dog in the early days from A Black man at Fox Oklahoma. The dogs name was Dillinger he bred the snot out of him. He was stolen from armitage. Armatage speaks of this dog in his book and the black man but not Earl. I don't believe Earl ever got the papers on that dog. In the late 50's around 59 they fixed it where you could buy liquior in Oklahoma. That killed Earls bootleg business. You don't see him fighting any dogs shortly after that or buying many dogs. Mayfield called his the purest of the purest but they had lots of bloodlines in them. I know. I was at some fights and tudor was setting by a friend of mine and his wife. Tudor kept staring at my friends wife's straddle. All Of a sudden he took his hand and rubbed her between the legs. She got as red as a beet and whispered something to her husband. He got up and moved her on the other side of him away from Earl. Earl went back to watching the fight just like nothing happened. I thought what an idiot. Yet he was drunk. I wouldn't have done that drunk in front of 150 people. He had lots of different bloodlines up to the dibo stuff including that Colby-Dibo cross called Lucky toward the end. Lucky sireds some good dogs. Lots of old timers are not normal. Bill De Cordova was the best most honest dog man I ever met. Jim Williams a lawman was not straight up with me. He robbed me bad once.
