    The Blood Of A Champion

    He may be a large dog - may be small,
    He will fight one dog or fight them all.
    He will give you all he has to give,
    It's the only way he wants to live.

    He has earned the respect of poor men en kings,
    He has fought in the open, in pits and in rings.
    He has fought the wolverine, the bull and the bear,
    For his own life he has not a care.

    He will not cower, he will not cry,
    For to be called "Cur" he would rather die.
    A cur and a fighter are not the same,
    A cur is a quitter, but a fighter is game.

    We don't force him to fight, he can quit any time,
    But it's not a bulldog that stands the line.
    When men speak of bulldogs, the words that fit,
    Are those like courage, stamina and grit.

    In the pit he is powerful, fierce en wild,
    But at home, he will sleep with the smallest child.
    He knows not the meaning of a word called quit,
    He likes on a chain, but longs for the pit.

    The blood of the champion flows in his veins,
    He can stand the heat, he can stand the pain.
    If it comes to the scratch, he'll make the run,
    When he hears his master cry "Aww, son!".

    Farewell to the Game
    From Old Smuggler

    I have grown old
    In the game of life
    I will retire to the kennel
    For I have fought my last fight.
    But I have fought from Canada
    To the Mexico line
    And no dog has ever
    Heard me whine.
    When the fight was against me
    It can never be said
    That Smuggler backed off
    And hung his head.
    Yes, I am proud of my record,
    I am proud of my name
    And those who have known me
    Will say I was game.
    But now I am old
    I am feeble and grey
    My fighting days are over
    I have changed my way.
    I will take a long rest
    That I so badly need,
    And in the comforts of the kennel
    I will sow my seed.
    So my son's may carry on
    The name which I bear
    For no dog can say
    But what I fought fair.
    But I've fought my last fight
    I have hard my last gong.
    I've done some good,
    I've done some wrong.
    So now I bid you
    A kind goodnight
    From you old friend Smuggler,
    The Bull that would fight.

    From the past to the present.
    From the young to the old.
    Many things were going to unfold.


    Dogs will always be willing to give their best.
    For the big day of their test.
    Good ones become a champion.
    Great ones become a grand.
    And when they retire they become a R.O.M.

    Names that went unmentioned.
    Names that were forgot.
    Names like Joe Corvino never received the credit they should have got.


    What happened to the Dogmen?
    That had class and style?
    For when we read these books, they leave that chapter out.
    Now all we see are guys with California clout!

    Most of them have gone away.
    Leaving so few of us left.
    What happened to the Dogmen?
    For I knew they were the best.

    Names like Saddler and Gaboon. Clouse and Komosinski?
    Names like Teal and Cotton. Offer and Hernandez.
    Names like Tudor and Mayfield, Heinzl and Ferris?
    What about the 500 in one's backyard?
    My friends, his name was the Great Leo Kinard!

    Every direction on the map, all these Dogmen met:
    To the WEST in the HEAT.
    To the EAST in the RAIN.
    To the SOUTH in the SWAMPS.
    To the NORTH in the SNOW.
    They came from all over just to see their dogs "GO!"

    I was there, I seen them all.
    I seen Smith's Duggan make the gamest crawl.
    I seen Ferris' Apache, Mayfield's Sam and Jessie stop them all.
    I seen Strider in Pickens look for a hole in the wall
    I seen Ferris' Red Geraldine take the snap out of Carver's fighting machine!

    I seen things you don't know.
    I seen Hernandez's Nigger make Sir Reivus, Maurice and Leo quiver.
    I seen Teal's Tip work the ear and end Scout's career!
    I seen Walter cry when Hunt's Pete made Whitey say Good-bye!

    I made Playboy, Reno and others cry.
    But no big deal, men like Mayfield, Taylor and Fowler made mine die!
    So what if it took them half the night.
    I took mine there prepared to fight!!

    "Lullabies and Lies"? MAYBE....
    "Legends and Dreams"? COULD BE....
    "A part of reality"? SHOULD BE....
    But to me just plain ol' HISTORY!!!!

    "Betrayal"

    Today in the pit i did meet my match,
    but my legs are broken and i can't make the scratch.
    Please pick me up now so i can fight another day,
    but money and pride has got in the way.

    You know I can't win as I let out a battle cry,
    looks like this pit is where I will die.
    Look into my eyes did I not give my best?
    But you knew that allready when you did the game test.
    This is for all the game pitbulls that never gave up,
    your masters betrayed you for fear of losing a buck.

    "Betrayal" -- great word to put to it -- how the abhorrent practice should be thought of, no doubt.

    The dogman poem I was looking for is on my other computer but here is one i came across for the Petbull type people to learn from:

    A Day At The Park

    He is just like other dogs I would always say; He loves to go to
    the dog park to play every day

    Everyone loves him there, so it's ok; My dog won't fight--he
    wasn't raised that way

    But then one day, right before dark, A troubled young man
    came into the park

    He had by his side the biggest dog I'd ever seen, And
    unfortunately for us, both were quite mean

    We asked very nicely if they would just go; The dog answered
    with a snarl and the man with a harsh "NO!"

    Well his dog was a terror, threatening to all; Then he started a
    fight with a Lab over a ball

    They fought pretty hard and the man would not intervene;
    Then here comes my dog and pushes right in between

    He grabbed that big dog and thrashed him around; And with
    one quick jerk threw him down on the ground

    The Lab was able to escape; I heard everyone cheer; But my
    dog was now in a frenzy and would not let me near

    When he finally let go, what I saw stopped my heart; That big
    mean dog had been torn apart

    The authorities were called, the big dog was now dead; But
    they didn't take the big dog; they took my dog instead

    We all tried to explain that my dog saved the day; But because
    of his breed he was taken away

    You see my dog was a Pitbull and they don't get any breaks;
    One small incident is all that it takes

    A dog had died; And though he hadn't started the fight, My dog
    was held responsible for what happened that night

    He was deemed a danger to all and sentenced to death; And I
    hold him now as he takes his last breath

    It's my fault that my dog is being killed today; Please listen for
    a moment to what I am going to say

    Everyone warned me about his potential to fight; I said it won't
    happen, I am raising him right

    And now my dog is paying the ultimate price; Because I was
    stubborn and wouldn't take the advice

    He only did what he was bred to do; Learn from our story;
    don't let it happen to you.

    i agree, that's a really good one for all those petbull folks. I'm gonna keep this one with me for a little education tool when i talk to someone who doesnt know what they're doing (which unfortunately, is all the time)

    thanx
