Finkle Winkle interview


When you get involved with these dogs?

When I bought a crossbred bullterrier/pitbull way back in 1977. Soon after that I got the pitbull fever and bought some real pits, in 1980 I started up serious.


Which dogman influenced you the most?

Bobby Hall and Danny Burton they gave me super advice, also I liked Don Mayfield a lot.


Which dogman you admired most?

The above gentlemen, Havana Boys, Bellon Club and all others who like to play it fair and honest.


You had quit some enemy's too,how came?

If you've succes there are always folks who gonna dislike you for that, that's the way it is.


Your toughest opponent?

Peter Parker with GR CH Rasta Girl, I lost an grueling hard fight into him in 1h08 with my Mask,

Rasta became Ch in this battle, ( Mask = Hall's Joker x F.W.K. & Hall's Jail 1xw )

there were other hard bouts but this was one who came up as first in my mind hahaha.


Your best win?

All wins are great but I guess when Dollyson (Roberto & F.W.K.'s Ch.Ginger EP x F.W.K.'s Dolly EP)

became Champion over a son of DSK's Redman in 36 min.


Your best dog?

Hard question since I'd more then one good dog, thanks God

ofcourse my main broodbitch Dolly EP, Delta 2xw/2xl, Brindle Chief 2xw/1xl, Joop 2xw, Jail 1xw and a bunch more.


What dogs of others you liked best?

B&W's Carrie, B&W's Ch Joker, Limey's Ch Alligator, Wardt's Ch Thunder, N.E.C.'s Amigo

and I guess a few more I can't come up with.


Which bloodlines you like most?

The ones which will produce the dogs who will bring home the bacon.


Your friend Samart got killed by another dogman, what you wanna tell about that?

When he was murdered cowardly together with Danny ''Tattoo'' Powell I broke down in half,

it took almost all the fun out of the game for me, for sure I miss my old friend dearly.


You are out of the dogs nowadays, how come?

Poor health, I was hit by an sickness you don't wanna give to your worse enemy,

I recovered but it was a long hard road which lasted 3 years.

While sick I realised that I'd missed a lot of things in life while doing 24/7 dogs for near 30 years,

I decided that if I survivled my illness I should do things different which I did by getting rid of the dogs soon I was better.


You miss the dogs?

I sure do, it's a bit like being heartbroken after a relation is on the rocks I guess,

but I'm better of without them, I'm happy that there are still a few good ones around which I bred.

With or without me, the game will never die, I'm glad I played a part in it in the good old days.


You have any advice for the newbies?

Stay honest, be a gentlemen, wear a breakingstick, keep them on a leash, don't walk them in public,

be dedicated all the way and don't roll them to pieces or worser and avoid the rif raf.


Thanks Mr.Finkle Winkle!!

No problem stay safe.
