Kimsey Woods.........

You do have a point but maybe carver would not of done those breedings that Dr Wood done. So he did do his own thing. Also it was his decision to go to carvers yard to get those dogs. He could of got dogs from elsewhere but he didn't. The guy sounds like a doer to me. He deserves at least as much recognition as that write up gives, if not more...

 

Dr. Kimsey Wood introduced me to the bulldogs in 1972 and I remained a friend until his death a few years back. If we had more men like him in the dog business we probably would be much better off, he was a good man with vast knowledge.

 

did you own molly ?

 

No, my brother owned molly, she was as fine of bitch as you could find anywhere! I owned trouble for a while, got him from Kimsey and also used a couple of dogs off that breeding.

 

So you owned Ch Chinaman then?

 

Nope, brother got chinaman back from a non-bulldog family so Kimsey could send him to the guys in California who were not happy with a dog Kimsey had sold, they liked Chinaman, lol. I had Chinamans littermate onyx lady, and also used the dog, boy, that my brother kept from that same breeding.

 

i seen a lot of that stuff and i liked it .

 

Thanks, me too. That's why I just got back rom Tom Garner, getting some old blood. I was just on on of these sites reading that snooty was a cur, that's funny! It was a while back but I gotta find it so I can post.

 

what did you think about hargrove's spanky ?

 

Both Hargroves and spanky were great in my opinion, of course Mr. Hargroves proved himself a true dogman, that's gone further than most for this wonderful breed.

 

Please tell us some stories about Boy, I always wanted to know what he looked like and how he
compared to his litter

 

Boy was a black dog, not as muscular as chinaman, but Randall put a harder test on him than I would have, and that's not criticizing, that's just Randall, he had to know to his satisfaction! I took boy somewhere into strong competition on a dog going for its championship, it didn't make it. But, it was a good dog, the problem was that boy could bite! It's been years ago but if my memory serves me correctly the atheletic dog was on top for about 30 mins or so finally boy did his damage from underneath came to top and it ended in about 20 mins more. Boy had good air and bite and he was game. Molly was hard and put it in her offspring, trouble was game and put it in his offspring.
