    Mr. Willie Wills was the owner of Wills' Diamond Dick, who won in 1918 in Mexico..
    There is a picture of Mr. Wills in Lou Colby's book, handling a dog in a comformation show that took place in LongBeach, Ca. in 1939..

    That would be King Glover..

    I thought this post was about african american fanciers from the early days?.People are posting guys from not that long ago, like there arent and havent been any black people (men & women) in the dog game during the last 50 yrs..lol..
    If thats the case, what about the guy that had Andy Capp, or the breeder of Panthol,Hellcat, etc..What about the the guy with BlackPaz Jr, or the guy who bought Gabe?.

  16. Very good!!!! not exactly accurate but true in essence... Dibo was bred by a black man named W. Smith who was Ed Ritcheson's yard hand at that time. Ritcheson didn't like the Bambi bitch cuz she was cold but Smith liked her and bred her to Rithesons stud dog Bouncer. When Ed found out he hit the roof and sent Smith packing. Smith grabbed up the pup that would be Dibo and headed over to Heinzl's place for some help. Heinzl fixed things between Smith and Ritcheson, Smith went back to Ritcheson's yard and the pup that would be Dibo was left with Heinzl and later the Bambi bitch was also given to Heinzl since Ed didn't want any part of a cold dog.
    So the most influential dog in the history of the breed was bred by a black man to a bitch that would have been discarded and later that same bitch was bred to produce Arizona Pete, Minnie and Adolf. She was later bred to a fighting Staff and produced Gr Ch White Rock, Ch Frito and Ch Cry Baby,, the dam to Eli ;)

    from my experience 75% of the "good" dogmen I've met over the years were black.
    good men come in all colors, fools do too.
