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:

CARVERS BLACK GIRL (Grand
Grand mother of Mr.
Ronnie) |

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".

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.
Maurice Carver´s yard, the CRADLE of the essence
and quality purified of the APBT,
coming from TUDOR´S "DIBO".
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).
Frank Fitzwater and Maurice Carver.
“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 of
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".

This two APBT to borned
in Villa Liberty Kennels, that they could well had
passed through as two APBT to breed by Maurice Carver.
Same children of ART´S MISSY: WOOD'S SNOOTY, CARVER'S DIAMOND, CARVER'S
JIM BOB, CARVER'S BUCK WIDOW, BEASLEY'S TY , CARVER'S FLINT (PITRE'S), INDIAN PISTOL, HUDSON'S TEX , BOUDREAUX PUSHROD A.K.A (KEMMER'S MACHO, HOLT'S JEREMIAH, JACKSON'S BOCEFUSS , LOPOSAY'S BUSTER , RAMSEY'S ARTY , CARVER´S
(TRENT & SEXTON) JERRY , CARVER'S LITTLE MISSY , CARVER'S BELLE, etc. 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 of the best APBT of all the times and the same like
reproducer. Too the favourite of Maurice.
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.
Maurice Carver feeding his dogs in his
Yard. To his back, we can appreciate to Carver´s Miss Spike eating of her plate.
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.

the best studs dogs of 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.

pair had in
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.
Maurice Carver with
Mike Kerns' "MICKEY".
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.

Carver's "ORPHAN
ANNY" (Klaus "ZEKE" out

Villa
Liberty 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.

Maurice passed away by an attack cardiac the 11 of November of
1979 in San Antonio,
Maurice Carver
with Carver´s “Ironhead”.
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.

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
peacefully
The Silver Fox
Maurice
Carver very young with Carver´s Black Girl, daugter of Tudor´s “Dibo”. Carver´s “Black Girl”, is the
grand grand mother of “Mr.
Ronnie”.
My humble personal opinion and summarizing, Maurice Carver is 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.
