GR CH LOKI'S DEN LOKI 5XW [BIS] POR

http://www.apbt.online-pedigrees.com/modules.php?name=Public&file=printPedigree&dog_id=390937

Rock Z imported a direct offspring of GR. CH. Southern’s MAYDAY ROM and Southern’s Chabelis from VA himself and when she came to heat, she was bred to BWK’s SLICK 2xW. The breeding produced six pups. The two females were called ROGUE and JEDAH and the four males were named CHAOZ, JOURNEY, JEMAAH and LOKI. JEMAAH, JOURNEY and JEDAH originally went to Doc J and Rock kept the rest. But when Rock left for the US, he left LOKI, CHAOZ and ROUGE with his group mates. By then, LOKI was about five to six months old and had a different temperament- he did not want to leave his cage and would snap at anyone who tried to come near him.

LOKI was first rolled at eighteen months against a dog from GNB. As he had not started yet by then, his roll mate did all the biting while LOKI just stared at his opponent. Because of this, the roll was stopped. But when LOKI was about to be picked up, he snapped and bit his opponent, prompting the roll to be continued and LOKI seemed to enjoy what he was doing. When the dogs were parted and made to scratch, LOKI did so without hesitation.

LOKI was rolled again sometime later against a bigger dog from Baclaran. When the two dogs met, the bigger dog caught LOKI by the shoulder and popped a bleeder. Because of this, the roll was stopped. But LOKI was furious; he started screaming for more while his collar was being put on. Still, LOKI’s handlers decided he has had enough for the day.

When the boys from untold kennel came looking for a roll with HYPE, a son of LOKI, with their dog DUBLER (who at that time was not yet a winner),LOKI was brought out instead so that he may be tested as well. The roll was made on the street and when the much larger DUBLER charged, LOKI went on defense by riding the ear. This was the first time LOKI showed any defense. Minutes later, the dogs were parted and made to scratch. LOKI again crossed without any hesitation.

LOKI was first hooked for a match at two and a half years old with a dog from the XCC camp. LOKI did not take the conditioning well after the first month and BWK decided to replace him with his littermate JEMAAH in order to avoid paying forfeit. JEMAAH won that match held on July 2006 in an impressive fashion.

After months of rest and medication, LOKI was back in shape and ready for action. His weight was opened at 35 lbs. and an opponent was found with WARCRY KENNEL’s PUNKROCK, a grand son of CH.DSK’s CUJO (the littermate of 2xW SLICK).

1XW1XL WARCRY'S PUNKROCK

On the match day, both dogs came in at 35 lbs and LOKI’s demeanor changed the moment he was let out of his kennel box: he became alert, showed aggressiveness and his jaws shivered in anticipation.

PUNKROCK took the lead early on and had LOKI by the shoulder. LOKI was able to break free by taking the shoulder and took control of the game. When PUNKROCK took a breather, LOKI took the opportunity to swap holds and bury his fangs deep into PUNKROCK’s chest. In a matter minutes PUNKROCK was crying in pain. LOKI then took the shoulder and dished as much damage as he could and then break both of his opponent’s front end. The thirty-second out of hold count was completed when PUNKROCK was laid unmoving in the carpet and LOKI had the pause for a breather.

PUNKROCK was barely able to stand in his corner but was able to scratch back- showing his gameness by using his muzzle as balance in order to cross the carpet. But PUNKROCK stumbled halfway and LOKI was screaming for more. Before PUNKROCK could get up, LOKI was released and was upon the downed dog, ready to put him away. At the forty-six minute mark, PUNKROCK was picked up to save his life and LOKI was declared winner.

DT wanted to challenge JEMAAH, who then already a 2xW with CH. DGK’s PEDI 6xW, 1xL, But Doc J and JEMAAH was already contracted to go against CMK’s COUTURE. It was agreed that LOKI would take over the match and the two dogs were hooked at 35.5 lbs.

PEDI might have lost to HTK’s JENNY 2xW, who at that time had claimed his first win. But PEDI past winning streak and his prowess in the box could no be forgotten or ignored. May speculated that if LOKI could not stop PEDI by the half-hour mark, PEDI would bag his seventh win. BWK took this as a challenge and remained undaunted by the hype.

As the match began, PEDI was the crowd’s favorite. He got in the box ready for war, and so was LOKI. The two canine gladiators met in the middle of the pit and LOKI was able to manage an ea hold early on to control the game. Five minutes later, LOKI was able to get into PEDI’s stifle. Instead of trying to break free, PEDI also went for LOKI’s stifle and bury himself there. The crowd went wild and cheered for PEDI. It was as if the two dogs were trying to show who bit harder. But it was LOKI who proved himself to have the better mouth that night. When both dogs let up, PEDI had difficulty standing up and LOKI was able to push him around. When PEDI went down on the carpet, LOKI buried his fangs in the thoracic area of the champion. PEDI’s eyes rolled to turn blank and his body was unmoving, so his handler opted for a pick up, awarding the match to LOKI. At the same night, JEMAAH also won his championship over the CMK dog.

For his championship, LOKI was slated to go against Mang Nemi’s KAMOTE, a head dog that was said to have the fighting style that would stop LOKI. When both dogs collided in the middle of the box, KAMOTE went for LOKI’s face. LOKI tried to go for an ear hold, but KAMOTE would not let him. LOKI changed tactics and went for the neck and wrestled his opponent down. LOKI then proceeded to mop the carpet with KAMOTE. And as LOKI went for KAMOTE’s stomach, Mang Nemi picked up his dog to make LOKI a champion in just eighteen minutes.

LOKI was opened again for his fourth match at 35.5-36 lbs. Potch and his dog TORQUE took the challenge.

LOKI became dehydrated because of the travel but still came in at 36 lbs. TORQUE was rangier than LOKI and also made weight. And when the dogs met it was war as they swapped holds and exchanged vicious shakes after vicious shakes. At that point, it was hard to tell who had the upper hand. Eventually, LOKI managed to take TORQUE by the shoulder and slowed down his opponent. TORQUE made the mistake of lying flat on his back. LOKI was quick to take advantage of this and went for TORQUE’s belly. TORQUE was in hell as he could not defend himself, he kept crying in pain. 

When the scratching began, TORUQUE barely made it out of his corner by scratching slow when he was met by LOKI in the center of the pit for another lesson in pain. A few minutes later, Potch decides to pick up his dog and LOKI was a 4xW at 36 minutes.

For LOKI’s shot at the grand championship, the BWK camp made negotiations with Troy of HLK. But little did they know that they would not be going against any of Troy’s dog. Instead, Troy was only negotiating in behalf of STD and the dog LOKI would be up against wasSTD’s ELBERT 2xw, a direct son of GR.CH. STD’s BULLY BOY. STD’s ELBERT 2xW was making a name for himself after both of his opponent’s died shortly after the match.

GR CH SCRATCHTILLDEATH'S BULLY BOY 5XW

The match was schedule was in the morning for safety purposes. As LOKI was being washed, it seemed that he was not aware that he will be up against a reputed killer. He was calm and quiet, and so was the crowd because cheering was not allowed. But as they neared the box, he started to feel the excitement. He began making the high pitched cry again and he seemed eager to sink his teeth into something.

When released Elbert went straight to Loki’s neck but Loki let loose immediately. Loki bit Elbert’s face then shifted to his shoulder and pinned him down. It seemed Loki wanted to finish the match fast.

2 minutes: Elbert’s handler called for fang. The match continued. Elbert focused on Loki’s neck, while Loki bit the ear to control Elbert’s attack.

3 minutes: Loki shifted to Elbert’s shoulder and pinned him down again.

5 minutes: Elbert attacked Loki’s neck and was on top for a while, but Loki escaped and bit Elbert’s front leg.

5 minutes and 30 secs.: Second fang for Elbert was called; Elbert was in his back and Loki won’t let go of Elbert’s upper leg when we tried to separate them. After 3 minutes, his handler managed to defang Elbert. They swapped positions to get a bite.

9 minutes: Elbert looked stiff as he tried to get a better bite on Loki’s neck. As he charged, Loki caught his ear and Elbert seemed to get slower.

11 minutes and 30 secs.: Third fang for Elbert. As we tried to separate the two dogs, Loki would not let go of Elbert’s ear and kept on shaking it. After 2 minutes, we finally separated them and freed Elbert’s fang. I released Loki, he went straight to Elbert’s shoulder and Elbert still goes for the neck.

16 minutes: Elbert made a mistake by lying down. Loki attacked his shoulder/armpit area and pinned him on the side of the box then he mopped Elbert on the ground. When Loki finally let go, the damage was done. As Elbert stood up, his blood was dripping all over the carpet. Because of this Loki could push Elbert easily and went to his back. Jackson signals his handler for pick up, but the handler wanted more. Loki did not waste his time and finished Elbert on the ground. The handler finally gave up when Elbert could not fight and defend himself anymore. They picked up Elbert in 18 minutes. Loki was still screaming in his corner when they asked for courtesy scratch.

LOKI lost all his fangs because of a kennel accident and thus he was retired for stud. To date, he has produced SNOW 2xW, CHUBBY 1xW and TWISTAH 1xW,1xL when he was bred to a gyp called HAILE and CRAZY EYES 1xW and BAD SHOT 1xW when he was bred to BARBY 1xW.

P.S.

LOKI was campaigned under my former kennel – BROOD WAR KENNEL. No doubt that without BWK, LOKI would have not achieved his Gr. Ch. Status today. Thanks guys!!!

Due to my respect to GR. CH. LOKI, my good friends and I decided to create a kennel out of his name; we called it “LOKI’S DEN”. Our goal is to start campaigning LOKI’s succeeding generations by ourselves. Having our own rules. And preserving LOKI’s line as the sports continue and evolve. From, Marvin

GR CH SOUTHERN KENNEL'S MAYDAY ROM

http://www.apbt.online-pedigrees.com/modules.php?name=Public&file=printPedigree&dog_id=560

Mayday and his siblings were all impressive and well built but Mayday always stood out. He was BIG, CONFIRMED, and fearless, He walked out of the van as a puppy after the long drive, barked, and marked my kennel as HIS territory right when he hit the ground. He had a huge head, long ears and barked at the other dogs from the start. His head was always up high. He really thought he was the MAN. He was a happy and energetic pup. The first time we put him in the box, we did it with Ch. Leroy (heavy Paladin). Leroy was a HARD biter. He got a hold of Mayday's chest and bit hard. Finally, Mayday got a hold of the head and got him out. After that, Mayday was PISSED. For the next 5 minutes, he mopped the floor with Ch. Leroy. We had to stop it cause he was killing him. Of Course, Leroy was pushing 9 pounds, and it was not fair. BUT from that Moment on Mayday SCREAMED in the corner. He really was impressive.

We go into, SLK & Dennis Ls HI VOLTAGE (2X), at Catch Weight. This match was special to me because of the adverse circumstances.

A. - Mayday, (First time out)

B. - Choice, (First time out)

C. - Leroy (1X)

We arrived late Monday night in PR and we went with Choice and Leroy. Both of them won. Ch. Choice won in an impressive match against a HARD biting daughter of Garner's Frisco ROM. We arrived at 2 AM to the kennel and I knew something was wrong. Whenever Mayday heard my voice, he would SCREAM and bark, and go crazy cause he knew it was time to work. The problem was that it was SILENT. We took a flashlight into the kennel and to our surprise we find Mayday inside his cell but with another DEAD bulldog. The dog was a brother to Southern Kennels Xuxa. He had gotten loose and they fought fence to fence, but I think Mayday grabbed the fence and pulled it enough for the other dog to come through. It was no big deal that he killed a smaller dog but the match was that Saturday and he looked exhausted. We cleaned him up; we locked him in a totally dark room with all the food and water he could handle and on the next day's walk. He looked better; we did the same thing the next day. I was really worried that the accident might have tired his mouth. One b/c of making the hole in the fence, the other in killing the dog. At the time of the show, Mayday only had some scratches and swollen lips. hehe HI VOLTAGE; weighed 67Lbs, and was a monster, Mayday weighed 59 pounds. He looked Tiny next to High Voltage. But catch weight is catch weight. Finally, Mayday won in 35 minutes, He never showed tired, and after the 25-minute mark, he took control and finished.

Soulman & Plumb Dave BIG RED (2X), Southern Kennels had taken 5 dogs to PR and won 4. We lost one game to Stone CityKennels Ch. NICO (4x)(ROM) with a son of Ch. Rattler at 1:13. The time before, we took 3 dogs to PR and won ALL 3. People in Southern Florida said that Southern Kennels was only winning in Puerto Rico and they weren't quality wins. Especially Soul man he was really being vocal. He said Ch. Whitehead toughest match was against a pure Red Boy-Jocko dog. Southern Kennels had lost to BIG RED before with a different son of Ch. Rattler who stood the line at 1:05. After that, BIG RED had won his second match in 1:25, and now he was ready for his championship. I had lost to BIG RED before and wanted a piece of him with Mayday so after many calls, it was hooked. Mayday's pit weight at that time was 60 but we conceded to bring him at 58 to make it happen. I was crazy about beating BIG red to prove that the previous wins in PR were the real deals and that the dogs in PR were also the real deal. As much as we tried, Mayday only came in at 58.5. We paid the forfeit and they gave me an hour to lose .5 pounds. We did and the party started. It was Mayday's easiest fight. He used big red like a punching bag. He mopped the floor with him. People watching wanted to change his name to PAYDAY. Others were calling him KILLING MACHINE. Havana Tito was screaming. "It's Gr.Ch. Rodney. Gr.Ch. Rodney, Gr.Ch. Rodney reincarnated. Big Red stood the line at 37 minutes and it ended with Mayday SCREAMING in the corner. He was just getting started. He wanted another hour. It was an impressive victory. Later Soulman called me and said that his dogs were still better than the ones in Puerto Rico but only 2 minutes better.

After this 2nd win it was extremely difficult getting him hooked again. We had to change his name and so forth. He had won impressively and no one wanted any of Mayday. My GREAT friend Angel hooked him with the Gator Boys in NYC area against a supposed 4x winner. They ended up bringing Pete Jr. who was in my opinion half CROCODILE. This dog could BITE. He was more to the ground and thicker than Mayday. He looked like a typical Bullyson/Cowboy, but 60 pounds. hehe. That dog was a true killing machine. It was Mayday's toughest fight at that time. It was the shortest but the most SAVAGE. Mayday somehow knew that he had to kill this Croc before he got killed. He finished in 29 minutes BUT with TERRIBLE chest injuries. At about 2AM at the Vet's Mayday was cold and dying. The wound was only an inch from his lung. It was a miracle he lived. We worked on him long and hard and my friend Angel kept him for a few months. After that He was Southern Kennels Ch. Mayday.

For #4 we didn't have to look for anyone, they came looking for us. We didn't have to change names or nothing like that. We hooked into Big Dust's Ch.Budda, (6X); he had won 6 but only had reported the last three to the SDJ. This time it was 65 pounds. In the first 5 minutes, Budda BROKE Mayday's Leg. Budda was a rough dog, after that Mayday stay there with three legs, and still coming and coming, it was a classic match. After 30 minutes even, they both slow down and pace themselves. At the 45-minute mark, Mayday started to take control and I urged him to finish. I would yell, and Mayday shook violently. at 1:05. Buddah stood the line.!! Mayday once again SCREAMED in the corner. After this match I retired him for a year. This is when I first bred Xuxa to produce Gr. Ch. Lukane.

GR CH S.T.P.'S LUKANE (5XW) ROM

I never thought to match him again because he only walked on 3 legs after that. Then I met Cuban Missing Link who probably knows more than Vets do. He told me that Mayday walked on three legs only because he THOUGHT his leg was still hurt. I had seen the x rays and told him he was crazy. He replied that that break in the leg only made it stronger and that a pre-keep would fix the problem. I tried it and to my surprise, Missing Link was right. He not only fixed the leg, but Mayday looked 2 years younger again.

The best match was Gr.Ch.Mayday against Tant's Cody, not only because of how good Cody was, who later on showed to be DEAD GAME, but also because of all the circumstances surrounding the contest. It was almost impossible for Mayday to win this match. The odds were stacked 99% against us. Mr. Tant didn't know that he was going into Mayday. My good friend Angel hooked Mayday into Mr. Tant for us. We respect Mr. Tant like as a good breeder and dogman, but we had to show that Mayday could handle any Red Boy/Jocko dog as well. So, we went into the main source of Gr.Ch.Yellow blood, Mr. Tant.

 

Mayday before his Grand Championship

We conditioned Mayday in Fla, and flew into SC a few days before the contest. That match was hooked at 65 Lbs. We made a mistake on his last feed, and we were at 65.5 Lbs, just half pound over weight, so we had to pay the forfeit. Mr. Tant was OK with that and he still wanted to do it. At 65 Lbs, a half-pound would not make that big a difference. We paid it and started to wash Mayday. Toward the end of the wash, Mr. Tant started to look at Mayday, and he started saying "That is a nice looking dog, "He looks just like my Yellow dogs, "Is he who I´m thinking he is?????? ". At this point we were getting edgy. Then asked us directly, " Is this dog Ch.Mayday???? " Well, what could we say? We had to admit it. He was very UPSET. I couldn't blame him. He said, he didn't want to go into his dogs. I told him that "YES, Mayday is off of Gr. Ch. Yellow, BUT you weren't the breeder. The breeder was Mr. Hollingsworth who paid the stud fee. All you did was collect the money.

He is only 50% your bloodline. The other 50% is Hollingsworth's careful blend of Bolio-Tombstone. "Any ways, after he collected our forfeit, he ran out of the place with his dog, and left us there with Mayday all wet. We didn't even have a chance to finish washing him. We were very frustrated. I told myself that was the last time, I will condition Mayday!! It was extremely difficult finding any dog able to go into him. A few friends like Cuban Missing Link were there in car, and I ask him to just take him (Mayday) back to Miami in his car that same night. Of course we didn't feed Mayday that night, he was in the car all night long, until they arrived home in the morning. At that time, they just gave Mayday a cup of dog food. Everything was gone. We already lost the chance to make the match. That Sunday's morning on March 1996, when I wake up, I was very hyper and disappointed. I decided to call Mr. Tant and have a meeting with him. I wanted to renegotiate the situation and make that match possible, after a 2-hour conversation, we agreed to the following terms….

CH SOUTHERN KENNEL'S DRAGON LADY

A. We will do it Thursday night

B. Not 65Lbs but catch weight.

C. We will play only 1K, against Ch.Dragon Lady(Champion Dragon lady was well known as the best 47lber in the world and Mr. Tant wanted to snatch her from us.)

D. I had to take it or leave it, like that, so I took his offer.

Immediately I called my friends in Fla, and told them what I had decided to do. ALL OF THEM SCREAMED over the phone that I was crazy!! All of them told me that Mayday looked TERRIBLE. He was completely stressed, skinny, and under Pit Weight. ON TOP OF THAT I had to put him back on the airplane. My friends refused to send me my dog but I told them that he was MY DOG, and that I would take responsibility for him. I spoke to them firmly and they finally sent the dog. Dr. PEPE from the lab was the one who sent Mayday. After he shipped him he called and said Mayday was in terrible shape. He said he was very stressed, tired, and unrested, not to mention, way under pit weight. All my friends said I was crazy, and that all I was going to do was lose a great dog. They said it was impossible for me to win, especially against a seasoned dogman like Mr. Tant. When he arrived in SC for the second time HE WAS JUST BONES. I started to think that maybe my friends were right. The circumstances were too much for even the greatest dog of all time. He looked completely destroyed. I have a picture of him that day; He was a completely different Mayday. A package of Bones. My great friend Angel was the only friend I had left that was willing to help me in my task. He helped me try to recover Mayday in only 4 days. He stayed with me and worked alongside me. We had him on IV. Forget conditioning, forget the keep, all we were trying to do was recover Mayday from all the long hours of travel and malnutrition. Well, we arrived there Thursday night, and Mr. Tant brought Cody, at 72 Lbs, he was a horse.

That was a smart move He gave Cody all rest he needed and very good food. On top of that he let him gain 7 pounds. Now, we had to go into a bigger, stronger and completely rested dog, Things were looking bad. Mayday looked a lot of smaller than Cody, and was all stressed out from the travel back and forth. RELEASE YOUR DOGS and the party started. As was expected, Cody led the contest early pushing and punching very hard into Mayday for the first 35 minutes.

Mr. Tant

Mayday was just trying to keep that big strong dog out with defence. He held on to the nose, face and throat. A few times Mayday tried to go into the back-end but Cody was too strong and kept him out. Finally, Mayday understood that he was in front of a lot of stronger dog than he. So, he never tried to go into the back-end again. He just kept working up front...... nose, face and throat. After 35 - 45 minutes, Mayday started to show the lead a little bit!!! Mayday had got a good throat hold on Cody. He held that spot for a few minutes. At the 51-minute mark Mayday was on top of Cody and was really working his throat hold. Mr. Tant asked us to scratch to continue, Cody. Cody wasn't moving, wasn't breathing, or anything. He was like a dead dog. So we said OK. We didn't think there was any way possible Cody could scratch. Boy were we surprised when that CODY dog started to scream in the corner like a maniac. !!!!! We were in front of a DEAD GAME DOG!

Cody worked Mayday over really hard for a few more minutes. Then, Mayday caught him in the same throat hold again at the 1:03 mark!!!!! Tant asked us again to scratch Cody to continue, and we said NO!! " YOU EITHER PICK THAT DEAD GAME DOG UP OR MAYDAY WILL FINISH HIM RIGHT THERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BOX!!" Mr. Tant made the right decision and both boys made good hard courtesy scratches. Mayday was on fire!! He was screaming and pulling in the corner and looked like he was ready to party for another hour!! We were finally able to calm him down after about 15 minutes. This was his 5th match, and is also the greatest fight I have ever witnessed.
