Nigerino

Do match reports of any of Cates' Nigerino's 5 wins exist anywhere publicly or have they faded into obscurity?

 

good question. id like to know more about him also

 

Nigerino's first match took place in South Texas against Peace's Al Capone at 37 pounds, the referee was Granger. Nigerino worked the head and chest; Al Capone was picked up at 37 minutes. This match was part of a 5 match convention and Nigerino took Best in Show.

For his second match , he was conditioned and handled by Oklahoma Shorty. His opponent, Maddox' Louie, was a one time winner in over 2 hours. The referee was Bobby Smith. Louie does a good job of holding Nigerino out, but Nigerino gets ahead working the chest and stifle and Louie is counted out scratching at 1 hour 20. Nigerino was once again awarded Best in Show and recieved a trophy.

His third was at 36 pounds against another two hour winner, McMillian's Brindle. This match was refereed by Selso. Nigerino is ahead all the way and scratches to win in 37 minutes. Nigerino wins his champion title.

The fourth was against a group from Califronia who called themselves the 'Black Attack' the weight was 37 and the referee was Morgan. Nigerino's opponent, Guerro's Ranger, was counted out in his corner at 37 minutes. Nigerino's son Sampson (out of Miss Kitty) won the same night in less than 30 minutes.

Three years later, when Nigerino was 7 years old, he won his fifth match. The weight was 37 and the referee was DelGarza. The referee from the fourth match, Morgan, had a hard biting head dog called Rowdy he felt could beat Nigerino. Rowdy was a very talented one time winner out of Ch. Tonka/Bolio breeding and managed to hold Nigerino out for the first ten minutes, with Nigerino driving. Nigerino gets on Rowdy's nose, then into his chest, and then to the rear end several times and rowdy was singing by the thirty minute mark. Morgan picks Rowdy up at 37 minutes. Nigerino is a Grand Champion.
