His Step son is getting married this Sunday in Beaufort S.C. So V.J. and his wife are coming through. First time I have seem him face to face in 20 years.
I ask him if he had used his Shiloh bitch that night against Pool Hall Red. He told me no, that it was a good little carver bred bitch owned by Robert Swetman, named Gold Pudding. Gold Pudding and Shiloh looked a lot a like so being so many years ago. I named the wrong dog in that event. R. Swetman and H. Hargrove were good friends and had dogs of their own and together.
I was wanting to go back in that topic section and edit my remarks and correct. IF I make a mistake or misquote. I try to fix any wrong info. pronto.
I did not put in there all that could be told about that match due to hurting some of these younger dog men's confidence in their personal today dogs.
Gold Pudding was a vicious hard biting dog like Pool Hall Red. Red got in some serious early shots that told on Gold Pudding later in the game. Had not been for V.J.'s outstanding conditioning a lesser dog would have lost in the early stages of that match.
Gold Pudding took some vicious hard nose holds on Pool Hall's muzzle, we thought her muzzle was going to be torn off. Pool Hall was screaming for all she was worth, do not blame her, I would be too. LOL
At the end, Gold Pudding after deliberately stalled by the noisy crowd. Made a dead game scratch pushing with her back legs to a foot of Pool Hall Red. Got counted out. On the courtesy scratch when I. Jerry released Pool Hall Red. She would not cross the scratch line and went back behind Jerry's legs. Gold Pudding died not many minutes after leaving the pit.
When Pool Hall fought Mayfield's Easy. She had been taken to the well one time to many. Was never in the match and Jerry picked her up. Cheers
