[font=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]Tiger Jim, whose photo is reproduced herewith, was one of the best dogs of his day and was an inmate of the Bourbon Kennels of Louisville, Ky., Mr. Rubel purchasing him when Jim was a puppy, from Mr. S. C. Meddick of Ovid, N. Y. Tiger Jim was a solid tiger-brind1e, handsome, well made from nose to stern, and about as game a dog as ever entered a pit. He was winner of several battles, the last one being at Cincinnati, Ohio, March 23 1908, when he killed Denny in one hour and fifty-four minutes Mr. L Bowser trained Jim for this battle and he says it was the fiercest fight he ever saw Jim died eight days after the battle. The Bourbon Kennels have contained some of the best pit dogs of the day, among them being old Champion [/font]

KING PADDY.


​

[font=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]King Paddy was bred and owned by L. A. Swineford of Ashland, Ohio. He was whelped April 16, 1909; weight on chain, 40 pounds; brindle in color. He is of the family of Delihant's Paddy, and won first prize at the Cleveland (Ohio) Fanciers' Club Show in 1913. The Pit Bull Terriers had no class, consequently he, together with his son Kelley and his half-sister Queen, all competed with English Bull Terriers. They each came out of the judging ring with a blue ribbon (first prize). Mr. Swineford says of Paddy: "King Paddy is an ideal dog for guard duty and is the best natured fellow in the world, but will invariably take hold of a dog if the opportunity presents. One of his most important engagements took place when he was two years old, when he stopped four dogs in an afternoon, and the four were Pit Bull Terriers of ability. He is the sire of many winners, both in the pit and show ring.

and Colby's Tige may be mentioned. The names of these dogs appearing in present day pedigrees are heralded as of exceptional value, and Pit Bull Terrier history will record their owner, John P. Colby, of Newburyport, Mass., as one of the leading and most successful breeders in America. Pincher was a 75-pound dog and said to be the best known catch-weight dog in New England, as well as one of the largest game dogs in America. Mr. Colby says Pincher killed or stopped over twenty dogs and never met a dog that could stay with him forty minutes. He was a close descendant of Turk, Pilot and Danger. T

champion 35-pound dog of America. His greatest battle was over the Connecticut dog, Captain, lasting three hours and twenty-seven minutes, near Hartford, Nov. 26, 1898, Tige being the winner. [/font][/font]
