This is about a little black of 40 pounds named shotsie. Shotsie is out of Garner's Frisco and Payne's Lee Ling. She was always a people oriented dog and was not intimidated by anything. She was slow to start and was only rolled 2 or 3 times in short fashion before she was hooked for number one. Her first opponent was Kent&Medley's Pinky [SDJ-November 1994 pg.30] a first time out dog from Dwight P's bloodline. Pinky started the affair by coming over and meeting Shotsie in her corner to start things off. But it was Shotsie all the way, and at 26 minutes a turn was called on Shotsie. I never saw a turn, but the judge allowed it and a handle was made and Shotsie was ready for more, as she flew across the square. Another handle at 27 and Pinky's time to scratch and she takes the count off her feet. Shotsie's second time out [SDJ 1995 Match #355] she is the noted underdog going into a highly regarded odds on a favorite named Miss Brownie from Viet Nam kennels. The talk was Shotsie would not last 20 minutes with Miss Brownie and plenty of bets were going that way. Well Shotsie lasted 21 minutes, because that is when Red Man picked up Miss Brownie. Now came time for the championship and it was match number three as Shotsie went into the well known two time winner, Razor. Razor was matched by Fred Bowling for her first two and sold after that. Razor, a red brindle out of a RedBoy Tramp bloodline, and the betting is 2 to 1 against Shotsie. The odds changed in five minutes after the dogs were released. An out of hold count at 25 minutes with Razor on the bottom, a handle and Razor time up to go. And she takes the count. I think I will change her name to underdog...........More to come later on her last two. I hope you enjoyed this story.. |
