    I didn't know Zinc's pedigree until I saw it already up. Same with the original Robert T. It was already up on PedsOnline (the Old Man didn't know it).
    Ok, that name just isn't that common.
    When I saw the post I thought of this Doolie http://www.thepitbullbible.com/forum...p?dog_id=41883

    I saw that Ch Dooley on here (and on PedsOnline), but I am not sure that's the same dog.

    The old man told me the Dooley he ran into Melonhead was an 8xW. If you look at the story on Melonhead, the Dooley in there was said to have only won 2 fights, and then lost to Melonhead in 2:40. That is the right match and right owner of the dog. The Old Man told me that Dooley fought a perfect fight, and was one of the best dogs he ever had, but that Melonhead was beyond a perfect dog. His Dooley dog did nothing wrong, fought with everything he had, yet just could not overcome THE TOTAL PACKAGE WALL that Melonhead was. When I asked if he knew about Melonhead's later defeat, he said he didn't see the deal, but he felt someone had to rub/cheat in some way to be able to beat Melonhead. He didn't think it was possible for that dog to lose (and he's been around many of the best dogs in the history of the sport).

    Anyway, he never personally reported any match, to any magazine, ever, so I don't know what to say about the "2xW" comment in the mag.
    I doubt The Old Man was mistaken on his dog's # of wins.
    Either the writer of the mag got it wrong, or The Old Man (who was known to con people at pit side to get the money in his favor) said he only won 2 at pitside, I don't know.

    But he told me Dooley was an 8xW but lost to Melonhead in close to 3 hours, 100% DG.

    I also think this was before Little John's time, so I don't think it would be a son of Little John either.

    Maybe someone will chime in who has contributing info.

    Frosty may know more about S&K'S Doolie, and can eliminate him from that thought process totally.

    Thanks for sharing Jack!

    Sure thing, and yeah maybe Frosty would know if it's the same dog.

    Hi Dan, and welcome aboard

    Maybe you could scan some of the photos you've accumulated over the years and help us update some of the pedigrees we have on a lot of these dogs

    Hats off to you!!

    You are motivating me to go through the rest of my expansive pile of photos and start scanning them in myself.

    Had a 15-hr day yesterday, and didn't have time to do much, but maybe this weekend I will roll-up my sleeves and join you in a photo-load effort.

    I agree, all pedigrees "come to life" with photos, and I wish everyone would pitch-in and realize this.

    I'm getting an itch of motivation from you two also. Bill Carr has a boat load of pics he said I could take and copy. Lots of them are pit side! Also many that need developed, that will be interesting. lol

    I intend on sharing many of them here. Jack the fact that you own the server is very appealing to me, and it is comforting because it is known. I hope this site can continue on for ever and be a permanent source for the history of our bulldogs.
