IRUS debuted in October 2005
versus PVM’s KOSHA (1xW, 1xD
more than 2 hours). It was the
son of a famous Champion HOOCH.
Victor from SD Kennels put the keep
on Virus for the match. VIRUS began
to attack the chest and shoulders very
hard. At 0:40 he made a favorite hold
in the armpit and worked the hold
for the next 10 minutes with Kosha
screaming in pain. He was picked up
at 0:53 and courtesy scratched.
In March 2006, it was Virus versus
Chuk & Gek’s LEKHA (2xW). Lekha
killed two opponents in less than an
hour, but this day was picked up at
0:34 and courtesy scratched.
The Championship match was in
July 2006. The opponent was Dubrovin’s PETYA a son of PVM’s GR CH
RED LIGHT. The battle began with both
dogs swapping it out in the shoulders
and head. At 0:30 Virus broke through
Petya’s defenses and won after another half hour.
Virus had the title of Champion
for 9 months, after 4 months of rest
he was again open. While we waited
we kept hearing about two dogs, Wolchiha’s SANTIAGO (2xW) from the
Urals Mountain and Kaluga’s MONGOL (1xW) a son of great warrior GR

VIRUS was born on the yard of Mustang Kennels in Ukraine. His
father was the famous Mustang’s IKE (POR), who showed deep
game. Ike carried blood of Dragan Radonic’s dogs and Country
Boys dogs. He bred Ike (POR) to Rhonda (POR) from Patrick’s
bloodline. This bitch was not a fighter of high quality but Mustang Kennels wanted very much to have puppies from IKE, the
puppies born in October 2003. Soon, there was an enteritis outbreak in the kennels. A red male with a big head was the first
who caught the virus and for this he received the nickname VIRUS. The enteritis was mild, and all the puppies survived.

sire - feared that a defeated SANTIAGO would prevent him from selling his
“Alligator” dogs. So in order to avoid
a meeting with Virus he made unrealistic demands and with long talks
deadlocked the match could never be
made. In the spring of 2007, BR Kennels from Moscow bought Champion
VIRUS. They teamed up with SD Kennels (coach and handler of VIRUS) and
performed under the name SDBR.
DECEMBER 2010
In autumn 2007, VIRUS was
matched in Moscow with MONGOL.
After 35 minutes Mongol received a
severe injury and was picked up, but
he showed the gameness to continue the fight.
The 5th match VIRUS was released in Chisinau (capital of Moldova Republic) versus Julbars’ KOSOY (1xW). This bulldog was from
Greece and the son of the famous
destroyer Julbars’ GR CH KITCHA.
Kosoy was a tough dog with bad
muzzle fighting style. Kosoy quickly and easily killed the Bulgarian
champion in their first match, and
some dogman experts were not giving Virus a chance to win. But Virus
The Deep Game Mustang’s Ike, Sire Of Gr Ch Virus
broke Kosoy down by the 20th minute. At 0:40 Kosoy was picked up
and runs the courtesy scratch to the
applause of spectators. Virus has
become a Grand Champion, and he
was retired after earning his title.
Meanwhile, SANTIAGO became
a champion. On the fourth match
he goes against the Big Snake
Combine’s CH WINSTON (Dog of
Year - 2008). WINSTON in one year
won four tough and long matches.
Four months after that, he went up
against the Champion SANTIAGO.
WINSTON was down after 10 minutes of battle. No one had seen
him in such bad shape and Winston
lost. He was sold in Kyuveyt. After a
year of rest, he easily won his sixth
against two-time winner from Serbia.
In 5th match SANTIAGO’s opponent was Juris’ LUCKY (2xW).
In the first 20 minutes Lucky gave
Santiago a good thrashing. Santiago hadn’t seen such problems
yet. He was in defense and did a lot

of strange movements and turns.
But Lucky was an old dog and had
heart problems. This has an effect
in the match and Santiago turned
the tide of battle. Lucky was picked
up at 0:58. Santiago became Grand
Champion and “Dog of Year – 2009”.
Who was stronger? This question about VIRUS or SANTIAGO interested all Dogmen. And VIRUS returned after 2 years of vacation just
to meet with Santiago. In the history
of the Russian dog-game this was
the first match between two grand
champions. This historic battle took
place in late spring 2010. Virus got

I discovered that there were images

that our APBTs do that looked just
like our modern dogs. If that was
the case, why was any cross needed?

Other dogs are in the painting, too,
but they were probably used for finding, trailing, and slowing down the
boar, and they consist of Greyhound
types and spaniels. I was impressed
that these other breeds even existed
that long ago. Obviously, the people
of Shakespeare’s time had already
learned something about selective
breeding and keeping the different
types distinct from one another.
The fact is that there is evidence
of Greyhound-type dogs even in
Egyptian times (from artistic depictions) and of a robust battle-type of

dogs. Most of these dogs seemed to

have to defend doing so. They should
explain why such a cross was necessary. Why did depictions of dogs doing the same type of thing for which
our dogs are so renowned look just

were our dogs referred to as “Bulldogs” in casual conversation among
those who had the closest connection to the old time breed? Why is it
still used today?

Hi folks, in following up on one of my previous articles touching
on the Importance of Water Management in our sporting dogs
how often don’t we read the references by very experienced dog
men about the supplement GLYCEROL only to hear the phrase,
”If you know how to use it”, without them revealing as to how
to use it and what it actually does. TOP SECRET! Well, here you
go! One of the biggest Myths nowadays is matching a dog as dry
as possible. The rationale behind all this is that of course an
overly WET dog will heat up too soon which is definitely true but
in my humble opinion it’s even worse to match a dog too DRY!
Where’s the bite and stamina our dog showed in his rolls when
happily hydrated and or slightly over weight? Irresponsible use
of DEX and LASIX and all to get a dog on its proper (?) weight is
usually the culprit here so now a full explanation on its characteristics and its uses .
Most (65%) of the total body water
(TBW) resides within the individual
cells of the dog’s body. This water is
the solvent in which all reactions of
the cell take place. It thus facilitates
the generation of energy, the synthesis of new cell materials, the storage
of products, and the detoxification of
wastes. Intracellular water is also the
medium of transport for all materials
within the cells.
The extracellular water is divided
up between three spaces.1 The interstitial space (20% TBW) is the second

The dog’s inability to sweat from
the rest of its skin probably stems
from its large surface area to volume
ratio. Water loss from such a large
surface area would put the animal at
constant risk of dehydration if it perspired from its entire skin surface. In
larger animals like humans and horses, a relatively small surface area and
large volume inhibits heat dissipation. Dehydration due to sweating is
less of a risk than heat accumulation
in these larger animals. Most of the
water a dog loses each day leaves its
body through urine, feces, respiratory
vapor, and saliva.
The contributions of each of these
factors depend greatly upon the dog’s

match dogs I can’t ever remember
seeing them lose. Saddler was a man
that could bring in a dog in at his bottom weight & keep him strong as a

tops when it came to working a dog,
bar none. He was also one of the best

George was very high on walking a dog, when you felt that you had
walked him enough, his motto was
“walk him some more” ! I can’t ever
remember Saddler being over weight

say “everyone knew the weight before
we got here” & their was no match.
George was a sharp dresser & a real

It is hard for me to imagine the kind of
person who could do what Mr Guffey
did with the Parkers and Ed Faron.
Inserting yourself into a family, being the benefactor of their ongoing
hospitality and then sacrificing them
for monetary gain requires a mindset
that I can’t fathom. This guy is pure
sociopath. He serves no one but himself, with zero regard for the pain he
inflicts. To perform his job he must
be devoid of feelings and caring for
people and animals. Contrary to the
propaganda promoted by the Animal
Rights groups, I believe most people
who own our great dogs are good, law
abiding Americans, with a moral code
and a love of family and country. Guffey
has been instrumental in causing the
deaths of hundreds of dogs and destroying dozens of lives of dog owners.
He deserves justice. Justice, for him,
was being recognized by Mr Faron and
losing his high paying job. He thought
he was above ever being made in his
job. He was wrong. Now he might actually have to work for a living. Anyone
who is fantasizing about retribution
against Mr Guffey to avenge the harm
he has done should get this nonsense
Thomas Guffy who is known in the dog world as JAKE Guffy is
the snitch who is soley responsible for the raid at WSK’S. Jake
resides in VA where he works for The Human Society making a
yearly salary of 50,000.00. Plus he gets an additional 10,000.00
per bust and conviction of dogmen. Jake is approximately in
his mid 30’s. Jake reports directly to John Goodwin. Jake has
two residences in VA. One is a dog yard and trailer that he uses
to fool fellow dogmen. The other residence is his true home. A
luxury home with a beautiful inground pool. This is where he is
Thomas Guffy the family man. Jake is responsible and involved
in every raid ranging from Floyd, The Patricks, to Bailey. Jake
is approximately 6’ 2” and is in very fit shape. He is known to
ROLL dogs and attend shows. This man is/was the most dangerous and covert snitch to date. Guffy was identified by WSK
himself from a photograph. WSK stated that Guffy indeed was
the snitch who was accompied by an undercover Sheriff wearing a wire.

out of their mind. This is the absolute worst thing that could happen.
If any harm should come to Mr. Jake
Guffey, it would only serve to affirm
the AR claims that pit bull owners are
a bunch of criminals. Now, as always,
our directive is to be good, law-abiding
citizens, take top care of our animals
and let Karma take care of the Jake
Guffeys of the world. Take satisfaction
that many witch hunts against innocent people may well be terminated
because Jake has being identified. Let
him now go find a job flipping burgers
for a living. We need to always take the
high moral road in our dealing with
people like him. Expose him for what
he is but then leave it alone.
