Loposay's Buster
From the breeding of Walling's Bullyson to Art's Missy there came alitter of well known dogs: Hudson's Tex, Holt's Jeremiah, Davis' WhiteBull, H. L.'s Rojo, Kemmer's Macho, Gomez' Toot, Giroux' Black Pinky,Ramsey's Arty, Reddick's Tootsie Roll, Petronelli's Fox, Lott's Dr.Pepper, Carver's Belle, Carver's Black Missy, Carver's White Bull,Art's Big Boy, Bickett's Boze, Hudes' Spade, Carson's Spook, J.Carver's Nassan, Perry's Big Missy, Perry's White Missy, and Loposay'sBuster to name a few.
I believe it was 1973 when Mr. Loposay purchased Buster from Maurice Carver.
Mr.Loposay's friend John Shivar of Fla. worked for an airline, and hecould fly to Tx and pick up Buster for free. Shivar agreed to do thisas long as he could use Buster for a short time as he had a couple ofhis best bitches coming in season. The agreement was made and Mr.Shivar brought Buster to his home in Fla. and was bred to a couple ofhis best. Not a month had passed before Mr. Shivar had passed away.J.R. Loposay made the trip to Fla. and brought Buster back to Sanford,NC. One month later Mr. Loposay passed away.
Most all the famous breedings of Buster were made by Mrs. Loposay and their daughter untill Buster passed on in 81.
Through the years in fast company the talk around the campfire was that Buster was really a Colby dog.
In1978 the late Andre Giroux reported a match he had just won with a sonof Davis' Gr. Ch. Boomerang that he called Paddy (Trulock's Ch. Spikein some peds thanks to the G-Man). This was Paddy's third win and Andrealso wanted to register him as a Champion. During the course of theconversation Andre was bemoaning the fact he didn't have a thing tobreed Paddy to, that is nothing that he thought would cross well withPaddy. Andre was reminded that he did have a FEMALE that would look realgood bred to Paddy. The FEMALE was called Black Pinky and was one of the30 or so odd dogs that was registered as being sired by Bullyson out ofArt's Missy. Andre never liked that old FEMALE, he claimed she was asugly as any FEMALE he had ever seen. Someone had cut off her ears andher tail and she was scared from head to toe. Andre had matched her onetime and had to pick her up in nine minutes with a bad bleeder(actually she jumped the rail and ran for the hills). Andre had farmedher out after she lost and as he thought about it, he did admit thatthe FEMALE was as ugly as sin. At last Andre agreed that the breedinglooked like a good one and then he said, "I'll make the breeding and ifthey have pups, I'll send you a couple odd male pups."
Some timelater Andre called again and said that Black Pinky had whelped five inthat litter, three male pups and would I mind if he just sent me onepup instead of the two he promised. He sent me a little black pup,chunky built and undershot that even at his early age, he looked likehe was in charge of everything around him. Andre registered the dogwith ADBA and named him Black Flash.
Irish Tom purchased a sonof Buster he named Justice. Rebel Kennel's had a belly brother toJustice named Son Dance, on some peds Sundance. Justice was registeredas Morgan's Toro as these dogs were bred by the late Vern Morgan.
Hudson'sTex was highly touted in his match career, so much so that it wasplanned for him to go into Ch. Greaser. As luck, or fate, or whateveryou desire to call it goes, Tex got hurt in a chain fight and Hudsonwas going to have to pay the forfeit. Rather than give away money, hecalled and asked if Adams would take over the match with Zebo. Zeboeventually went on to win this legenary match. Tex was later matchedinto D. Devine (Coleman's) Ace (Cassius Clay breeding). Tex was allover Ace, but not doing much damage, while Ace was. At :17 a turn wascalled on Ace. At the :55 min mark, after 14 scratches each, Tex wasahead, but Ace did alot of damage from the bottom, and took over thefight. Tex made his last six scratches game, stumbling ones. Ace won in1:17, Tex lost dead game when attempting his last scratch he took a fewsteps forward and collapsed. He died shortly after the fight.
