Rancherita’s Little Gator ROM was born on August 14th 1985. He was sired by Garner’s GR CH Spike bred to an inbred female named Miss Molly. Her father was Abernathy’s CH Boy (littermate brother to Garner’s CH Chinaman ROM) and her dam was Abernathy’s Molly (mother of Garner’s CH Chinaman ROM). In this litter there were some good ones like Harris’ Buddy Boy (that produced Garner’s CH Lee Haney, Buddy Boy II 1xW and Valerie ROM), Dead Zone’s Doc Holiday (a dog considered an ace by many that won 5 unreported and 2 contracted matches of which one went over 2 hours into Mayfield’s Leon, a brother to Coy’s CH Leon) and Crum’s China Boy 2xW (that produced well for Crum and Hammonds).

GR CH GARNER'S SPIKE (5XW) ROM

Little Gator ROM was purchased by Jerry Wiseman for breeding. And in short time he became Wiseman’s number one stud dog. Little Gator ROM sired more winners on the West Coast than any other dog alive. The breeding that started the Little Gator Fame was when Jerry first bred his shortwinded but game little Colby/Corvino female named Wiseman’s Dolly Varden to Little Gator known then as a “Spike Dog”. In this first litter he produced the first winner from Little Gator and the best dog VBK has ever seen: B.I.V.’s CH Angel 4xW, an ACE at 43 pounds who beat Mr.K’s CH Merle for his fouth and collected a forfeit from Gr.Ch.Gabe for his 5th. In this same litter there was also Dr. Rojas’ Chairo 2xW who won in 1:50 and 2:18 over two of the best known mexican dogmen of that time: E. Vasquez and L. Medina. Viera’s Negrita 2xW was also from this litter; she was an incredibile talented female who beat two well known dogmen in 39 min. and 1hr, she produced well too for VBK. Little Gator later produced many great ones including BMW’s Cuervo, a great 2xW who beat Ch.Mickey. Cuervo would later show that he also could produce well himself, VBK’s CH Red 4xW who won over Roughneck’s CH Crazy for his fourth and the best 44 pound dogs around the west coast, BMW’s CH Black Angel 4xW. Other winners are CH VBK’s Cyclone, CH BMW’s Kimbo 3xW 1xL, BMW’s Missy 2xW, Eli 2xw 1xl, Arrow 2xw and the list goes on!!!

Keep your eyes open for the offspring of a double bred Little Gator ROM, double bred Smith’s Annie 2xw ROM dog named Zorro who’s top is Cuervo 2xw bred to Smith’s Annie 2xw ROM and bottom is BMW’s Arrow 2xw bred to a Chinaman bitch. SM is one of few who have what probably is the best Little Gator dogs of our day. High quality powerfull bulldogs. 

BMW’s CH Black Angel 4xW that was an ace dog but his stud career wasn’t so long since he got killed in a kennel accident by his daughter Buffy . He produced some good dogs and many of them are still campaining and have also produced well for their owners. Some of these dogs are BMW’s CH Bullet 4xW (actually one of the most requested little gator stud dogs alive),BMW’s & SM’s Chaquiro 2xw, 1xlg, BMW’s Kerker, Yoshi, Superman 1xW, SM’s Mala (promising dogs that we will hear good words about in the near future),SM’s Lupe (the only littermate to BMW’s Kerker and a hard tested hard biting game bitch), SM’s Angela a very game hard mouthed female off Black Angel and Lil Flower, Sm’s Leon (a hard biting game littermate brother to Ch.Bullet), BMW’s Joe Black 1xW (a very game dog), BMW’s Angelica 2xW (First in 43 min at 39pd beating a 2xW and second in 58 min at 39pd beating another 2xW; a game and talented bitch with an extremely hard mouth that is still producing) and Kelly’s Amy Lou born from the breeding with Rancherita’s Lil Flower, a Jeep/Boudreaux/Zebo cross that produced CH Sonora, BMW’s Thor 1xW and some other winners when bred to BMW’s Ickis 2xW.

BMW'S JOE BLACK (1XW-BIS) POR

Viera’s Negrita 2xW that produced, when bred to Ed’s Moko Loko (a bolio dog), CH VBK’s Smokey. The breeding with Rancherita’s Little Gator ROM produced a good bitch for VBK: Viera’s Pokita, dam of CH Viera’s Blacky, BMW’s aka VBK’s Moreno 2xW and SM’s Jeko 2xw, a requested stud dog that is producing hot offsprings for SM. Other winners off of Negrita were Negrito 2xW, Al Gator 1xW, Little Negrita 1xW and Eightball 1xL Deadgame. 

CH VIERA'S BLACKY

SM'S JEKO (2XW)

CH V.B.K.'S SMOKEY 3XW 1XL

Golden State Bulldog’s Tattoo 1xW that produced :Indo-Canadian’s Big Boy 2xW (GSB’s Tattoo x GSB’s Luna), SM’s Elmo 1xW (GSB’s Tattoo x SM’s Chinadoll) best In show winner, Golden State Bulldog’s Chavez 2xw (GSB’s Tattoo x GSB’s Spider) best in show winner, Golden State Bulldog’s Fat Boy 2xw (GSB's Tattoo x GSB's Matilda), Golden State Bulldog’s Bam Bam 1xw, GSB's Smokey 1xw, Lite em up’s Dyna 2xw, Blackout’s Creeper 2xw and some other good ones. Many of his offspring are still young but they look very promising. BMW's (SIC's)Ch.Paco is and has produced his share of high quality winners. BMW’s Joe Black is a great 1xW in 2:47 and Best Of Show winner. He was bred at that time by Ramon of BMW and was an inbred brother/sister breeding of CH Black Angel to his sister Missy 2xW. Both were great dogs and this proves that when you inbred and only use the very best dogs, then the results are most time real good. Joe Black is now retired at stud and has been sold to a spanish dogman.I would like to spend some words about a dog that i think is one of the best representative of the little gator strain actually alive: BMW’s Ickis 2xW. 

WETWORKS 5'S ICKIS (2XW)(2XLG)

Ickis came from the breeding of BMW’s aka VBK’s Moreno 2xw (CH Viera’s Harvey Wallbanger 3xW, 1xL X Viera’s Willie Girl) and BMW’s Xena 2xW (BMW’s Cuervo 2xW ROM x BMW’s Panterita): he is basically linebred on Little Gator Rom with a touch of Jeep/Honeybouch/Boudreux blood from CH Harvey. 

He won 2 taking Best In show Winner going over 2 hours and who have seen him go said that he is a really good and game pitdog. 

Ickis' first 2 outings were very hard by any man's standards (his opponents didn't make it); after that and without proper recovering he went and lost his first, that was his worst performance ever, still never stopped. He also won 2x otc. Not many dogs could have made the cut after being schooled with CH Black Angel, CH TJ and CH Kimbo. The best part is that he is producing a lot of dogs that are better than him. 

This is what he produced: Ch Sonora 3xW, CH Sombra 3xW, Thor 1xW, Brindle 1xL, Misfit 1xW (RIP), Rasha 1xW coming out soon, the other two that were ready to take on one their own weight was SM’s Tank and Speed, both very good, Tank could not overcome the attack of over one hundred bee stings and passed while the other one was stolen. The rest are starting their schooling and doing great. Let's note that BMW's & SM's Vanessa is producing just as well as her littermate brother Ickis. So as we can see, the genetic contribution of Little Gator blood is still strong in his ancestors and this do not happen in many other good producers. This mean that Little Gator blood put good basis on his offsprings and if you make the right selection you will have a yard full of dogs that can have it all: gameness, ability, stamina, mouth and intelligence. 

Most important of all is that all these dogs, when bred right, and given a fair chance to mature, really know how to win!!!

RANCHERITA'S LITTLE GATOR (ROM)

CH COOPER'S OPIE

http://www.apbt.online-pedigrees.com/modules.php?name=Public&file=printPedigree&dog_id=2466

In April of '92, PR Joe had a gyp named Gunny, off of Ch. Coco and a bitch named Sarah, who was a very promising prospect. He was looking to get a male to breed to her in the future and heard about a litter of pups out of Ch. Coco and a double daughter of Cates' Nigerino, named Bathsheeba. Since PR Joe was pleased with Gunny and kept hearing good things about the Nigerino dogs, he decided he had to have a pup from this breeding.

CH M&K'S COCO

He and his son drove out to the breeder's house and spent several hours observing the pups before he finally decided which pup to bring home. Opie caught his eye, because he was very sure of himself and just sat and watched the rest of the pups like a male lion watching over his pride. They then drove home and let Opie out in the yard to play. He had such a good feeling about him, that he called the owner of Ch. Coco and told him he felt Opie was something special and knew Opie would be a steamroller.

The first time Opie was looked at was when he was 11 months old. In 2 minutes, Opie broke the other dog's foot, at the ankle, and the roll was stopped after 5 minutes. Opie screamed and carried on in the corner like no other dog owned by PR Joe. PR Joe left very happy, Opie was started and he liked what he saw.

When Opie was 16 months old, PR Joe was looking for another roll for him and found out Props Up Kennel was looking to test a match dog they were considering purchasing. He agreed to leave Opie down for 15 minutes and they arranged to have a second dog ready to finish the test. However, a second dog wasn't necessary, because Opie took the dog apart and stopped him in 15 minutes.

Four months later PR Joe decided it was time to find out if Opie was match quality, so he arranged to put him down with a dog that ws 19lbs. bigger than him. This dog went right to Opies's head, near his left ear, and stayed there for 15 minutes, throwing Opie all over the place. The dog then took Opie right off his feet and slammed him on his back. At this point Opie reached up and bit the big dog hard in the throat. Shortly after, we handled the dogs and the other owner told me he thought his dog's heart was no longer into the roll. He felt the bite to the throat had taken the fight out of him and he was right, the dog quit 2 minutes later.

The time had come to match Opie, so his partner Machiavelli hooked him into the Jersey Combine and their dog Charlie. Charlie was off of St. Benedict's Raleigh and was reputed to be a very game dog. Machiavelli conditioned Opie and Mr. Bill did the handling. The match started and immediately Opie was back-peddling. He'd never done this before and he just didn't seem to be himself. At about 15 minute mark, Charlie had a hold on the side of Opie's head and was pushing him in a circle. Steve B. called a turn on Opie and Clamdigger, who was the referee, agreed. Opie wasn't really turning, but regardless, the scratching was started and so was the beginning of the end for Charlie. A handle was made and in the corner Opie finally came to life. He scratched hard into Charlie, who reared up leaving his chest wide open and Opie took full advantage punishing Charlie severely. When he came out of there, Charlie looked as though he'd been blasted with a shotgun. It was pretty much all Opie after that, although at one point, Charlie did get into Opie's stifle. Opie took him out by the muzzle and popped two cutters out of Charlie's mouth in the process. Charlie was picked up game in :28 minutes.

Next, with some help from POW, Opie was hooked into the Duke Boys and their dog Flatliner. Machiavelli conditioned Opie and PR Joe handled him. This was the first time PR Joe handled in a match, so he was pretty much hyped-up. The dogs were released and Flatliner began working Opie's front legs near the ankles. Opie didn't appear to know what to do and the bets were flying from the Duke Boys' side. Finally, Opie took him out by the face and the dogs stayed there for awhile. Opie then began to punish Flatliner's chest and shoulders and the other side quieted considerably. The first handle was made at :20 and Flatliner came across fast. But now Opie was really cranked up and soon Flatliner was fading. At :43, after two hard scratches by Opie and a game stumbling scratch by Flatliner a handle was made. It was Flatliner's turn to scratch and he took two steps out of his corner and fell forward onto his head. Flatliner never took his eyes off Opie and he continued to try to get up, but he couldn't and he was counted out in :44. Opie was then tail scratched for his courtesy and he was obviously eager for more.

Opie's third was into Rocketman and his dog Magic, who was out of Captain America's Gr. Ch. King Arthur and Rocketman's Go Go Girl. 

GR CH C.A.K.'S KING ARTHUR (5XW)

Magic had won one in over an hour and PR Joe and Machiavelli felt he would be a real challenge for Opie. Opie was sent to Machiavelli's friend 1C to be conditioned and waited there 'til showtime. 10 weeks later, Joe headed north to meet Machiavelli and 1C. When the dogs were released, they met mouth to mouth and Joe was delighted because he knew what Opie could do to another dog's mouth. They switched to swapping shoulder and shest holds, but it was obvious Opie was stronger and a harder biter. At :19 both dogs took a breather and a after a ten second out of hold count a handle was made. Magic made a good scratch, but Opie was really cranking now and Magic was taking a beating. Joe was standing over the dogs and heard Magic let out a whimper, so he started sending Opie in and he responded. Magic began singing, so everybody could hear and at :27 he took the count. Opie made a hard courtesy scratch. After the match Rocketman gave Opie a very good compliment saying "Opie beat a dog I thought was really good and made him look stupid in the process."

In closing, Ch. Opie did whatever was asked of him and looked damn impressive doing it. His litter mate brother was Yankee Greg's Deadend, who won one and lost his second time out in 3:01 to Captain America's OO Buck.

CH KRAZYSIDE'S NINO (4XW)

http://www.apbt.online-pedigrees.com/modules.php?name=Public&file=printPedigree&dog_id=2129

It was 1997 when I was invited by Hidden Hollow Kennels to attend their five dog show in North Carolina. I was interested in buying a good dog, so I felt this was the perfect opportunity to hopefully come across one. I decided to drive down and spend a few days in the Carolina Hills and thought this would be a perfect time to meet T. Garner and E. Faron, who I had become acquainted with over the last couple of years over the phone. It was after meeting E. Faron that I was introduced to a man who would later become one of my best friends, Billye Roberts. I met a few new people and even bought a couple of dogs, however I still wasn't satisfied. A few days later I decided to hook up with Billye to see his yard. I asked Billye if he knew where I could find a good small male between 35-40 pounds. Billye thought for a minute and said, "Oh yes, there's a dog down the street that's killing everything in the neighborhood." I said, "Lets go", and off we were to see this dog. As we were driving up to the house, one black dog came into focus tied up on a chain in the back yard. Getting out of the car I said to Billye, "That is one Big Dog." I asked the owner why he wanted to sell him, he stated that he was going to college and wouldn't be able to care for him. Word travels quick in his neighborhood and before I knew it, several of his friends had come over trying to convince him not to sell this dog. I knew then I wanted to buy him. I was a little low on cash since buying two other dogs so I turned to my brother-in-law, who made the trip with me, and asked him if he was willing to invest in this dogs with me. The guy was only asking $600 for the dog and I couldn't pass this opportunity up. We had met a couple of guys earlier that day and they were willing to loan us the cash. It turned out to be the best $600 dollars I've ever spent.

The day had come to see the show we had been invited to. The first match was Greasy Corner Kid's Ch. Spanky and Garner's Ch. Simba, winner Greasy Corner's Ch. Spanky. After all the matches were over, we decided to see a couple of minutes out of this dog we had just purchased. Hidden Hollow Kennels had lost with their male and allowed us to bump into him for a few minutes. 

GR CH GREASY CORNER KID'S SPANKY (6XW)

As I watch him go to work, I wasn't extremely impressed as I shrugged him off as an average dog. My brother-in-law, however, saw something different, he said, "Eljaye, this dog is special." After about 15 minutes we picked him up and headed back to Oklahoma. This black dog, whose name by the way is Nino, got a chain spot and sat on the yard untouched for a couple of months. One afternoon, a couple of friends of mine came by the yard and wanted to roll some dogs, I figured it was about time to see more of him. To make a short story even shorter, he stopped their dog in 15 minutes. I put him back on the chain for a couple more months. I later realized that Nino was turning 4 years old, I decided to see one more roll out of him as I was wanted to bring him out. I called up a very good friend of mine, who unfortunately passed away this year, and asked if he had anything for Nino. Again, to make it short, he killed his dog in 22 min, pushing 10 lbs. up hill. Nino was ready. I called out his weight at 46 1/2, a couple days later, Grinderman & Co. replied with a 2XW named Hall Boy. We set the date and joined a show hosted by SAGASA Kennels. We traveled to Arkansas and had two dogs going in that show, a bitch on Friday, and Nino on Saturday. It was show time, Saturday night, both dogs weighed in at 461/2, we washed them got in the box and released with Hall Boy on the head. It was even until Nino finds the chest. At the 27 minute mark, Hall Boy is picked up. 

In the months to follow we healed Nino up and bred him to a couple of our bitches. We didn't have any immediate intentions on bringing him out until Red Man Kennels called us wanting to hook into him with a dog named Bolo. We accepted the challenge and agreed on a weight of 45 pounds this time. My brother/partner worked Nino for me, while I was on the road. I have to admit, I was nervous since I hadn't worked him myself. The match was only a few days away and I returned home for the match. Nino looked great and his weight was on the money. Once again, we weighed, washed and dropped in the pit. Both dogs hit hard in the middle with Nino again finding the chest and Bolo began to cur. Redman Kennels picked him up making Nino the winner in 6 min. 

CH ELLIOTT'S(MOTT'S) RED DEVIL (2XW)

Nino was feeling good and we were looking for a Champion to go into. A month or so passed when we got word that we were allegedly dodging a dog called APK & Elliott's Ch. Red Devil. A couple of phone calls and the match with Red Devil was set at 45 lbs. We traveled to Kansas joining the Rocky Ridge Convention. Nino again was conditioned by my brother and his team. Nino was right on 45 while the other dog came in a pound light. Once in the box, we released with Red Devil on the nose and Nino again finding the chest. Nino was on a down dog when Ch Red Devil is picked up declaring Nino the Champion in 18 minutes. Nino also won Best of Show. 

After some time we were unable to get Ch Nino hooked up so I had decided to retire him. A few more months had passed when I received a call from Brickhouse Kennels. They had a 46 male called Ch Benny Blanco. We immediately jumped on the challenge and agreed to travel to their backyard and also let them choose the judge. I called Vietnam Kennels and asked them to send me their War Keep, they told me if I want to win, I'll use it. I took their advice and Nino's conditioning began. I worked Nino the first 4 weeks, when my job took me on the road again. I turned to my brother again for the remaining 4 weeks of Nino's keep. I never doubted his ability to condition him nor his ability to follow the keep to very last detail. I knew Nino had to be ready and my brother was never available for my phone calls, instead his constant focus was on Nino. 

CH BRICKHOUSE'S BENNY BLANCO (3XW - 1XLG)

I was completely at east until 12 days out from the match I got a phone call that Nino got 12 stitches in his leg from doing roadwork. The days began winding down and as the match date got closer, Nino was strongest at 45. We decided to give up a pound rather than bring him in sluggish. The match would take place in NY. I was already there when my brother, the team and Nino arrived a week prior to the show. It was a 23-hour trip and we wanted Nino to rest after travelling so far. As the show got closer, Nino began to Peak out. We were relaxing in the hotel room allowing Nino to roam freely out of his kennel one day before the show. Suddenly there was knock at the door, some friends from Wichita, Kansas had arrived, meanwhile Hidden Hollow Kennels staying in a room down the hall was walking his bitch who was matching on the same night as Nino. Nino shot out the open door and hit the 2XW in the hallway. After about a minute we got them apart. Neither dog was seriously injured instead, they were hungry for more. The day came and Nino was feeling good, another 45 minute drive to the location and we entered the spot where both dogs were weighed and washed. Blanco was dead on 46 and Nino as expected at 45. We released both dogs and before Nino really got out of the corner, Blanco caught him by the front leg, shook and popped a serious bleeder. Within the first 30 seconds Blanco snapped Nino's ankle. I must admit, I began to worry a little and Nino began to peal him off by the nose. 

Nino and I both knew that he had to keep Blanco off of him or he could be seriously hurt. It was even for the first 40 minutes, however Nino showing to be the stronger dog. At 45 a turn is called on Nino, with Nino making a hard 3-legged scratch. By the hour mark, we made a handle and Blanco makes a hard scratch. Nino starts to take control of the match as he was biting hard on the head. At the 1:30 mark Nino began to make Blanco sing. I really began to cheer Nino on after 4 scratches each. At 1:48 Ch Blanco is picked up and makes a slow courtesy scratch. Champion Nino is declared the winner. Ch. Nino has proven to us his ability to finish a dog quickly, his intelligence to adapt to his opponent and his gameness in staying in it for the long haul without the use of Steroids. Nino's road to victory has not been an easy journey. He's had all odds against him, travelling, weight, environment and still came out the victor when no one but us believed he could. Nino is being retired due to complications with his leg injury. I would like to thank my team, my brother/partner Teddy, my brother-in-law E-Love. Vietnam Kennels, Black and Blue Kennels, Eric (my yard man) and most of all my wife and the Lord for making this possible.
