Fox's Patterdale Terriers and dogfight History

Larry Warren and Myself
used to help a man with his dogs. Larry Warren Worked them for him and I handled them in the matches. 

George was probably genetically from one of the highest IQ type bloodlines or family trees of anyone human with fighting dogs.

His name was George Stage Hunsecker. Known in the dog crowd as fat George. George was a big heavy man and stout . His father 'Ralph Uriah Hunsecker' was a song writer for movies and Broadway plays. He wrote the song 'Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas', plus he had over 500 songs to his credit. Ralph his father went by the name Ralph Blane. Just type in Ralph Uriah Hunsecker in you search program and read all about him. George's mother was a college graduate and was named Emajoe Hunsecker and held a big position with a big oil company. George stayed at the Hunsecker home in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. The rest of the family was in New York  writing songs for Broadway plays so George guarded the home place. George kept his dogs at various other homes so no one would know about his hobby. I ran around like a blind dog in a meat market looking at all the expensive things that were accumulated in this fine home as George took me on the tour. Agnes Morehead was George's Godmother and Andy Williams was his Godfather. Their dining room housed a table about 35 feet long for guest. Various pictures of movie stars and singers and song writers were all over the walls.  The master bedroom had a 500 gallon bath that was marble with steps leading down into it. They had a water closet that had been imported and made no noise when flushed. I am a licensed Oklahoma Plumbing contractor and must have flushed that stool 20 times just trying to figure how it worked.  George played the piano and also knew music . He showed me on their piano that Willie Nelson only knew three cords. No matter what song of Willie's he played, his hands only had to change three times. He laughed and said his dad knew every cord and ever note known to man. His dad still would never make the money Willie made with his three cords. Yet his dad was extremely wealthy.  George was born November 5 ,1948 and died January 14, 2003. I will always remember him and I'm sure Larry Warren will to. He had several good winners including a half brother to my little Alvin dog that won several fights. I do not have a picture of George. If anyone has a picture of  George I'd like one. Please help.

although this was a part of George's life, at one time...later in his life he completely and utterly was against dog fighting and hated that he had ever been involved in it.  He was embarrassed about having ever been involved and donated monies towards the benefit of many animals in need.
