GENETIC OF THE LEGEND TO CALLED:
AND TRIBUTE.
In 1927,
Maurice Carver being a young one already even showed considerably, notes of
Dogman.
VILLA LIBERTY´S "TUDOR DIBO" , To know like “Mr. “Ronnie”,
“Mr. Ronnie” was imported from
The
three more important breeders of the race of all the times,
had in common to Tudor´s "Dibo" but in
different concepts:
-
Howard Heinzl don´t were the breeder of Tudor´s "Dibo". (To
see the articulate in the Web Site of Villa Liberty " WHAT NOBODY TO WRITING STILL ABOUT THE BEST
APBT OF ALL TIMES, TUDOR´S “DIBO”. ")
-
Earl Tudor was the owner of "Dibo" when
Howard Heinzl to give Earl like gift and Earl
Registry him with his last name, Tudor´s.
-
Maurice Carver (Known like THE SILVER FOX) was the breeder that better knew to
take advantage of and to conserve through his breeding, the valuable genetic or
blood of Tudor´s "Dibo",
in
special, through the IRONHEAD and BULLYSON crossings. . The Legacy of the dogs of Maurice,
continuous nowadays intact through of the genetics of “Mr.
Ronnie”.
The best, APBT of all times, Tudor´s “Dibo”.
TUDOR'S
"DIBO", was the spine and the
pattern to follow in the breeding of Maurice Carver with
the APBT, the same that other good breeders like; Howard Heinzl,
Earl Tudor, John Fonseca, Leo Kinard, Ralf Greenwood,
George Saddler, Roonie Hyde, Don Maloney,
James Crenshaw, Mc. Cool, Enrique Morfín, Jim Twardowski (R-Gang´s), D. Stubbs, Ruben Valenzuela,
Gary Hammonds, Bert Sorrel, Floyd Boudreaux, William Lacefield,
Pat
Patrick, Indian Sonny, Scotty Nelson, Don Mayfield, etc.

Some
of the most important children of Tudor´s "Dibo" and
were bred by Maurice Carver:

Other
importants children of Tudor´s
"Dibo":
"Mr.
Ronnie" comes to the 100% from the Maurice Carver´s dogs; In
fact, “Mr. Ronnie” is the last APBT that
still is with life, being direct son of a dog breeding by Maurice Carver, his mother Carver´s “Miss Ronnie”, who, her last litter had it with
14 years old and of that litter "Mr.
Ronnie" was borned.
"Mr.
Ronnie" is a dog that has many
merits and curiosities all over his life and in several facets, he never let
astonish to us.
TRIBUTE
TO MAURICE CARVER IN VIDEO
Making reference to that, "Mr
Ronnie" is direct son of a female
breeding by Maurice Carver, I must say to
transmit of the commendable thing of this last, that excluding the descendants
of "Mr. Ronnie", solely there grandgrandsons of some dog breeding by Maurice Carver are left alive at the present time.
Observing sole this last data, the genetic or blood of "Mr.
Ronnie" is PATRIMONY and HERITAGE for the APBT of the present time.
Villa Liberty´s
“Tudor Dibo” (Mr. Ronnie) with 12 years old.
Peculiarly,
we can appreciate in the genealogy of "Mr.
Ronnie", the track of the past in the
genetic selection elaborated and worked by The
Silver Fox with the APBT. This was based in a heavy genetic load of his
more appraised dogs like for example; CARVER´S “SATCH”,
CARVER “BLOODY SUNDAY”, CARVER'S “IRONHEAD” , CARVER'S “MEANIE” WALLING'S “BULLYSON”, CARVER'S “MISS SPIKE”, ART'S “MISSY” (CARVER), TUDOR'S “SPIKE”, CARVER'S BLACK WIDOW, CARVERS BLACK GIRL and as no, the legendary
TUDOR'S “DIBO”.
Thanks to the whim of the
chances and the peculiarities of the life, after to have spent 28 years after
the death of Maurice Carver, great great breeder and where there are them, nowadays to the
doors of year 2007, surprising we found that "Mr.
Ronnie" is a son of one of those
dogs pertaining to the quarry of the very respectable breeder Mr. Maurice Carver.
Other
anecdotal data of many that “Mr. Ronnie” has, are that in fifth generation of his
genealogy, we can read the names of legendary dogs that
for many years, have been appearing not even in the eighth generation of the
alive APBT with the oldest genetics.
We
will name to some of these classic ones that appear in the fifth generation of “Mr. Ronnie”; Once to Tudor´s "Dibo", three times to Carver´s "Black Widow" (The best female of all times together with Carver´s Honeybunch and Carver´s “Black Girl”), one to Tudor´s "Spike" (The best son of Tudor´s "Dibo" together with Boudreaux´ "Blind Billy"), one to Boudreaux´ "Blind Billy", one to Trahan´s "Rascal" (Brother of father of "Dibo"), etc. etc.
BOUDREAUX' BLIND BILLY (100% of “Dibo”).
It
is important to mention that “Mr. Ronnie” besides to have once in fifth generation to Tudor´s "Dibo", also has four times more in sixth generation, 10 more in seventh, other
19 more in eighth and thus we can find very many repetitions of Tudor´s "Dibo" in his
genealogy, until arriving at his 16 generation. Given this great amount of
repetitions of Tudor´s "Dibo" within
the genealogy of “Mr. Ronnie”, it is the
explanation of because this magnify animal is
the one that greater percentage has of the genetics or blood of Tudor´s "Dibo", with
a 52´58% and enough difference to the other alive APBT, with the exception of
his descendants, of course.
Genetically
this 52´58%, come to be equivalent as if “Mr.
Ronnie” was direct son of Tudor´s "Dibo" and in
addition he also had him in his fifth generation. Simply impressive, considering that Tudor´s "Dibo" died half century ago. “Mr. Ronnie”, is without a doubt some a genetic
treasure, that thanks to the work and dedication of the Old
Silver Fox (M. Carver), to arrived to the
present time like a gift from the nature.
TRAHAN'S RASCAL (brother
of father of “Dibo”).
After
the study with thoroughness that has been made, referring to the best dogs of
all the times of this breed dog, the 95% of these,
presented/displayed a common denominator and was that all of them
presented/displayed a high percentage of Tudor´s "Dibo".
Indian (Carver) Bolio. Picture Pat
Patrick courtesy.
Pat Patrick considers to “Bolio”
after Tudor´s "Dibo",
the best APBT of all the times. "Bolio" was
bred by Maurice Carver. Patrick enjoyed much with this tribute to Maurice
Carver.
Indeed
this percentage and we do not think that it is by chance, was the indicator of which at the most high was the
percentage with respect to Tudor´s "Dibo",
greater QUALITY and recognition had the animal
at issue and not for to have these percentage, this was by the PURE QUALITY that the animal had. Of here one of the
reasons for the success in the dogs of Maurice,
since he based on his breeding a high percentage of the genetic or blood of Tudor´s "Dibo", getting
to be many of his dogs like the best ones of all the times.

With “Mr. Ronnie” and his sons “Blue Eye”, “Mr. Carver”, and “Carver 2”, with “RED DIBO” and with “TOP
SECRET”(STOMPANATO), nowadays in the present
time, Villa Liberty kennel reinforces the work
developed by the Carver legend, to maintain and
to conserve alive this genetic everything what we can and by the greater
numbers of years possible.
Maurice Carver
The genetic of “Mr. Ronnie” is very heavy in CARVER´S “SATCH” (HYDE) and CARVER “BLOODY SUNDAY” (HYDE), two of the best dogs to breed by Maurice
Carver, being these the parents of many of the best APBT recognized of the
last time, like for example: CARVER'S SUE,
HYDE'S BILLY
SUNDAY, HYDE'S FANCY, COX' CISCO, WILLIAMS 69, the parents of the parents of
SMITH &
WILLIAM'S REUBEN, CARVER´S MISS ROONIE (HYDE & CAPALDI) (This
female, is the mother of “Mr. Ronnie”), BOYD'S
MAURICE, HYDE'S SAMMY,
COX' STARCH, DOC. H'S
GEORGIA BEAUTY, JACKSON'S
PIKE, etc. etc.
Carver´s “Satch”, generate with other females very good dogs, like for example: CARVER'S PRINCE, CARVER'S MIDNIGHT COWGIRL, DIAMOND JIM'S LUTHER (HYDE'S), WILLIAMS' PALADIN, WOOD'S STORMY, R.SORRELLS PEACHES, CARVER'S PRINCE, etc. etc.
Of equal way, Carver "Bloody
Sunday" generate with others males
very good APBT, like for example; ; CARVER'S SUE, HYDE'S LEROY, HARGROVE'S SPANKY, HYDE'S SAMMY, J.CRENSHAW'S BEAU, WOOD'S BLACE, MEADOW'S MR BILLY SUNDAY, WOOD'S TONNY, etc. etc.

The grandmother of “Mr. Ronnie”, Carver´s "Bloody Sunday", was the mother of ABERNATHY'S “MOLLY”, and this as well, was the
mother of the well known “CHINAMAN”, however the mother of “Chinaman” and the mother of “Mr. Ronnie” are sisters of the same mother, “Bloody
Sunday”. “Bloody Sunday” is sister of the same mother of Carver´s “Rastus”.
“Mr. Ronnie” too, in his genetic is very heavy in CARVER'S “MISS
SPIKE”. Carver “Miss Spike”, was the
foundations in the breeding made by Maurice Carver
with the American Pit Bull Terrier.
“Miss Spike” was the mother of magnificent APBT, like for example; STEINBERG'S DIAMOND (CARVER), COOPER'S HONEY, DANIEL´S POKER (CARVER), HUNTER´S TANA (CARVER), HOOTEN´S SNAKE (CARVER) (Father of the WOOD SNOOTY
(CARVER)), ESTUDIANTE´S CHINA (CARVER), HARGROVE'S AMOS (CARVER), CARVER'S MEANIE (HYDE'S) (Grand grand mother of Mr. Ronnie).

“Miss Spike”, when was stud up with CARVER´S
“PISTOL”, also was the mother of the
exceptional brothers of the same litter; CARVER'S “NEL” (BROWN), CARVER'S FOX
(PETRONELLI), CARVER'S BOOMERANG (DAVIS) and CARVER'S MISSY (ART), the four are breeding of Maurice Carver.
Carver´s “Pistol”. This
dog was one the best dogs of M. Carver.
ART´S MISSY, BOOMERANG, and CARVER'S MEANIE (HYDE'S) (Grand grand
mother of Mr. Ronnie), were the columns of the
raising of Maurice Carver, more important that
they rose of the foundations of CARVER'S "MISS SPIKE".

etc.
Maurice Carver with Art´s “Missy”
Simply sensational the reproductive
repertoire of Art´s Missy, like her brothers, Boomerang and Carver´s Meanie (Great-grand mother of “Mr. Ronnie”) also were it.
CARVER'S
IRONHEAD (Grand grand father of “Mr. Ronnie”), and WALLING'S
BULLYSON (Grand grand
father of “Mr. Ronnie”), were the two best
reproducers of Maurice Carver and the two had
descendants with MISS SPIKE. The descendants of these litters, to purify
the quality of the dogs of Maurice Carver in
great way, like to the being crossed others magnify females of M. Carver. These two APBT, were the favorites or preffer stud dogs of
“The Silver Fox” within his Yard.
Carver´s “Ironhead”. This animal was one the best APBT of all the times and the same like
reproducer. The favourite of Maurice and many fanciers.
Maurice Carver, for his experience like
breeder, he had a great ability or a sixth sense, as we want to call it, to
connect meticulously and with much success of a way very suitably and with much
compatibility to the reproducers of the future litters, choosing them
meticulously to purify the quality of his dogs.

For to put an example of we
are saying previously, "Bullyson" when he was in the yard of Boby Hall, was stud with many females and giving like
result “regular” dogs. Nevertheless, when "Bullyson" was in the Yard of Maurice Carver, the 90% of his descendants, left
outside the normal thing in which to quality we talked about and this had
simply for the knowledge that Maurice Carver
had like teacher dogman.

all times, Walling´s Bullyson.
Some
of the better sons of "BULLYSON" being in the Yard of Maurice Carver were; Carver´s “Bloody Sunday”(Hyde), Carver´s “Midnight Cowboy” (Davis), Carver´s “Honeybunch” (Crenshaw), Carver´s “Chivo” (Davis), etc. etc.
Carver´s “Honeybunch” (Crenshaw)
In
order to make honor to the truth, I have to say that
one of the keys of the success of Maurice Carver
like breeder, was based in his partner and wife, Pat Carver and without her
contribution, the Maurice´s Yard had simultaneously
not been what was.
Pat Carver exercising to Bullyson in treadmill.
Pat Carver was an expert in all the senses with the American
Pit Bull Terrier and shared
together her husband during many
years, the work in the best kennel or yard of all
the times of this breed dog. Pat Carver made the saying good that “Behind a great man, there a great woman”.

Carver in his good times.
Excellent dogs of Pat Carver were: PAT CARVER'S BLACK SHINE, PAT CARVER'S STOMPANATO, PAT CARVER´S BIG RED, etc.
In this rare picture, we can observe in the left part to Pat and Maurice Carver, visiting to his very good
Mexican friends; Jesus Araiza, Ramiro Morales,
Gustavo Araiza, Miguel Hinojosa handling to Hercules, etc.

Although the colour of the hair
in this breed dog is something that does not have any importance, peculiarly the colours that have many
dogs descending of the genetic of Carver in Villa
Liberty kennel, expose their genetic roots,
since those patched white and black and white and brown colors,
are those that presented/displayed as well many of the best and mythical dogs
of Maurice Carver and that appear like
ascending near and quite direct of the APBT of the genetic
Carver in Villa Liberty kennel, like for example; CARVER “BLOODY SUNDAY” (HYDE), CARVER'S “MISS SPIKE”, “CARVER'S ONE EYE”, “ART'S MISSY” (CARVER), CARVER'S STOMPANATO, CARVER'S DIAMOND, CARVER´S (TRENT & SEXTON) JERRY, and much more.
Maurice Carver and Carver´s “Stompanato”.
The same happens with the colour eyes, something that
either it does not have no relevance and importance in this breed dog, since
all the colours are admitted in the Official standard of the breed dog and the
one that have the colour of eyes of one or another colour, does not go to contribute
to no quality or virtue to him to the animal at issue. Peculiarly,
the colors of eyes that present/display some dogs
descending of the Carver genetics in Villa liberty kennel, expose
their genetic roots again, since the blue color
of the eyes or different eyes (a blue eye and another one brown in the same
dog), were the colors that presented/displayed some
of the dogs of Maurice Carver, like for
example:
CARVER'S JOHNNY BLUE EYES, CARVER'S ONE EYE (this one, had the eyes of different colour), BANCROFT'S BLUE EYES, BLUE EYES, COOPER'S BLUE
EYE, GONZALEZ' OJO AZUL (AKA) TEXAS EXPRESS' OJO AZUL, HARRIS' SNOOTY BLUE EYES, WHITLEYS BONNIE BLUE EYES, PR STROUD'S BLUE EYES, NIEVE CON LOS OJOS AZULES, C.A.K'S GINA BLUE EYES, VILLA LIBERTY´S “BLUE EYE”, (this one, have the eyes of different
colour), VILLA LIBERTY´S “CARVER 2”, etc. etc.

All this of the colours of
the mantle (hair) or the colours of the eyes in the breed dog American Pit Bull Terrier, since we have said (stressed) previously does not have no
importance or relevance, but is a at least peculiar data, since after so many
years ago of the death of the dogs of Maurice Carver,
nowadays and in the Villa Liberty kennel, his
APBT are exactly equal to which had Maurice Carver in
his yard. It is as if it had been backed down in the time and some APBT
directly of the Maurice Carver´s
Yard had been acquired and us we had brought them to the times of the
present time.

Villa Liberty kennels made the import to Spain of
the Genetic PURE of the Maurice
Carver´s dogs, bringing to the APBT; “MR. RONNIE” (Satch X Bloody Sunday), “RED DIBO” (Midnight
Cowboy X Hand´s Candy), since Chicago – USA, and
to “TOP SECRET” (Stompanato
X Boomerang) since Texas – USA, because this so important genetic within
this breed dog and concretely the genetic or blood of the Maurice Carver dogs, was practically missing.
CARVER´S “MIDNIGHT COWBOY” (DAVIS)
In Villa
Liberty kennels, we continued the work developed by the Legend “CARVER” and we try to maintain and to
conserve alive the essence of
this
genetic everything what we pruned and by the greater number of years that are
possible to us, to PURIFY it day to day, since we understand that this genetic
or blood is PATRIMONY and HERITAGE of the breed dog American
Pit Bull Terrier and it would not have to disappear.
VILLA LIBERTY´S “BOUDREAUX” (BULLYSON)
The best dogs of Floyd Boudreaux
and the best genetic combinations within of his breeding during last the 35
years with this breed dog, come from the dogs of his friend Maurice Carver,
specially from CARVER´S
“MIDNIGHT COWBOY” (DAVIS),
Maurice Carver was born in November of 1916 in Texas,
Maurice Carver worked for the army USA like Marine, in where in just a short time and
thanks to his charisma, was respected by his companions. He was not walked with
roundups to say the things and what felt, he was sincere, direct and sharp,
something that brought many enemies to him and envy in the side of the dogs.
Maurice
Carver.
Maurice contracted marriage with Pat Carver and with the work and dedication of both,
they were able to elevate the quality of the dogs of his yard, to the best that has never existed in the history of this
breed dog.

away by an attack cardiac the 11 of November of 1979 in San Antonio,

The genetic legacy that
give us Maurice Carver to the fans of the American Pit Bull Terrier was impressive, having
selected, worked and specially PURIFIED in
the course of his life, the best genetics combinations of this breed
dog and that he self created since Tudor´s “Dibo”.
J. Crawford and Maurice Carver in the last period of Maurice´s life.
These genetics combinations
that created Maurice,
are the already distant foundations of most of the best genetics of this breed
dog of nowadays. The great disadvantage that we were in the times of the
present time, with respect to this subject, is to contemplate the very fast
thing that spends the time and with the passage of this, to see as the genetic legacy disappears that he offer to us the
old “Silver Fox”, since very few breeders
have known to conserve and much less to improve.
The Old “Silver
Fox”.
Maurice Carver
was
the breeder which better take advantage of the genetic Tudor´s "Dibo", to elaborate his own genetic ramifications with quite considerable genetic load
of “Dibo”.
When Maurice Carver passed away some people began with
detractive critical with influences within of the APBT,
that rather corresponded like opportunistic personages, cowardly and envious.
After the death of Maurice Carver and when no longer being able to
defend himself, it is the reason to these undesirable ones to distort same
things of events related to the APBT and
passed throughout his life, with the purpose of calling the attention of which
they shared time with Maurice Carver and of
that so bastard and cowardly way, to try to
obtain some privileges on the part of the deceived fans, like for example; That
one considers to them in the present times and to sell better his dogs, books,
or simply by protagonism.

“Red Neck”.
Even, these personages before the death of Maurice
Carver, approached doing to think to him that they were friends, for
this way obtaining a valuable information of the experiences of the Old “Silver Fox” with the APBT,
for later to making pass that information like theirs, but in aim.............. Must have of everything in this life.
Rest In
Peace
The Silver Fox
Maurice Carver very young.
My humble personal
opinion and summarizing, is that Maurice Carver
was the best
breeder of all old and modern times. I believe to Maurice Carver and in special I believe in his dogs and I do not believe in
those people who take advantage of the death of others, for own benefit.
