Some
bred fans have asked my opinion on the work Gary Hammonds has done in breeding
American Pit Bull Terrier (APBT or Pit Bull), here is my humble RESPONSE:
Gary
Hammonds initially had a good dog named “BRUNO”, which didn't come from a pure
family line, “BRUNO” descended from several good families: Wallace, Lightner,
Corvino, Tudor, Colby, and even further back in his lineage, you can find some
of Henry's good, tough dogs; https://www.fiapbt.net/henry..html

Around
the same time that Gary Hammonds began working with the breed, he was inspired
by the breeding work of Reverend Howard Heinzl, with whom he later made contact
and acquired good Heinzl dogs, first Heinzl's
"TAFFY", then Heinzl's
"UNCLE BUD" and later Heinzl's
"DEMPSEY" with whom he made excellent breedings.

I
believe that although Gary Hammonds was happy with the various crosses of
Reverend Howard Heinzl's excellent dogs, which he had been using for years in
his breeding plan, something wasn't quite right for him, whether through
negligence, lack of passion, or whatever the reason, Gary Hammonds ultimately
lost these Reverend's genetics that he had been using in his breeding plan for
so long and I completely understand him, as I, as a breeder, experienced
something similar with my own breeding plan using the Reverend's dogs, but it
wasn't just with the Reverend's genetics; it also happened me with other
excellent Pit Bull genetics. This occurred precisely when I witnessed the full
extent of the genetic strength and charisma of the dogs descended from Tudor's
"DIBO" and subsequently crossed with the dogs of the "Silver
Fox," Maurice Carver—dogs shaped by his wisdom, his hard work, and his own
hands. Observing and learning about this last point, for Mar, my wife, and for
me, was the great fulfillment of personal satisfaction as breeders, a source full
of inspiration that increased even more when observing the results of our
specimens improving every day, all of them having in common their origin from
Maurice Carver and I believe that this was something similar to what happened
to the good Gary Hammonds, now I explain.
- Tudor´s “DIBO” FIAPBT Pedigree Online: https://www.fiapbtpedigree.com/imprimir_ficha.php?idm=en&criterio=9
Through
third parties, Gary Hammonds learned the stories of the legendary Maurice
Carver and his dogs, including “SATCH”, “STOMPANATO”, and especially “IRON
HEAD”, among others. Most of the information Hammonds received about Carver
came from enthusiasts who provided accurate and honest information about Carver
and his dogs. However, other "fans" offered him the opposite: old
wives' tales and gossip spread by envious, smooth-talking charlatans who, in
front of anyone, threw stones and all sorts of lies and filth at Carver with
malicious intent to discredit him. These two opposing versions about Maurice
Carver generated doubts and prejudices in Gary Hammonds regarding Maurice
Carver, creating a contradictory uncertainty, which was the reason for almost
making him discard Gary Hammonds from his breeding plan for Carver's dogs and,
therefore, making him lose what he was going to enjoy in the future with the
new genetics that he was going to introduce into his breeding plan, genetics
mostly coming from Carver's dogs.
- Carver´s (Hyde) “SATCH” FIAPBT Pedigree Online: https://www.fiapbtpedigree.com/imprimir_ficha.php?idm=en&criterio=1858
- Carver´s “STOMPANATO”
FIAPBT Pedigree Online: https://www.fiapbtpedigree.com/imprimir_ficha.php?idm=en&criterio=150
- Carver´s “IRON
HEAD” FIAPBT Pedigree Online: https://www.fiapbtpedigree.com/imprimir_ficha.php?idm=en&criterio=25124
The
catalyst that allowed Gary Hammonds to overcome his conflicting uncertainty and
delve more confidently into Carver's dogs was thanks to his close friend named
Jeff McManus. According to Hammonds himself, Jeff McManus had managed at that
time what few others had: to befriend Maurice Carver and gain access to his
inner circle. I believe that thanks to Jeff, Gary Hammonds was able to compare
the information he had received from various sources about Carver and his dogs,
discovering that the rumors and gossip against Maurice Carver were actually
lies spread out of envy, ill intent, or simply ignorance. This ignorance was
displayed by those fans who had heard false stories about Carver and hadn't
bothered to verify them, accepting them as true and spreading the rumors to
other fans in the same negative and false vein, creating a big an unfair
snowball of lies. Only with the passage of time has everyone been put in their
rightful place, Well by Carver and his dogs!
Thanks
to Jeff, Gary Hammonds was able to contact Maurice Carver to acquire some of
his dogs and receive, as invaluable gifts, his recommendations, advice, and
breeding guidelines—a true treasure trove of information about the breed.

I
believe the reason Gary Hammonds practically lost the Reverend's genetics and
other good genetics he had been using in his breeding for so long was due to
the enormous inspiration he received from the magical influence of the
legendary Maurice Carver. This influence stemmed from the breeding guidelines
he received directly from Carver after meeting him, as well as from his
extraordinary Carver dogs. But more importantly, and as happened with many
other good and renowned breeders in the breed history, it was due to the
immense satisfaction he derived from the magnificent results he achieved in his
own breeding plan over decades breeding these Carver dogs.
The
enormous genetic influence of the Carver dogs running through the veins of Gary
Hammonds' dogs, can be seen in his most renowned or most significant dogs as a
breeder, for example;
- Carver´s
(Hammonds) "MAURICE" FIAPBT Pedigree Online: https://www.fiapbtpedigree.com/imprimir_ficha.php?idm=en&criterio=5772 With 100% Carver dogs

- Hammonds' “PARK SON” FIAPBT Pedigree Online: https://www.fiapbtpedigree.com/imprimir_ficha.php?idm=en&criterio=5774 With 79% Carver dogs in
its genetic.
- Hammonds' “BRUTUS” AKA Anderson's “SIMBA” FIAPBT Pedigree Online: https://www.fiapbtpedigree.com/imprimir_ficha.php?idm=en&criterio=11405 With 92% Carver dogs in
its genetic.

From
the moment I met Gary Hammonds, he always struck me as a prudent, humble, and
exceptionally honest person. Like Maurice Carver, Gary Hammonds is from Texas,
USA.
I
think Gary Hammonds and I have some things in common, such as: We both
introduced Reverend Howard Heinzl's excellent dogs in our first stage as
breeders; After witnessing so much charlatanism and false stories discrediting
Maurice Carver's work and dogs, we both decided to investigate objectively and
with our own judgment until we discovered that Carver did indeed have two types
of followers: those who respected and admired him, the majority, a silent
majority; and those who envied him and slandered him with malicious gossip, the
minority, a vocal minority. When Carver died, for example, some of these same
people stole the dogs he kept in his yard that very day. They then passed them
off as their own, falsifying pedigrees, repeating the same false accusation
they had made against Carver for some time. They stole the dogs to trying to
gain the credibility and popularity as "breeders" they lacked among
the fans who so envied Carver. They stole all his dogs except for “STOMPANATO”,
who, luckily, was inside the house, as he belonged to Pat, Carver's wife.
I
believe it was in the task of neutrally and judiciously investigating the false
stories spread against Maurice Carver and his dogs that, after discovering
pleasant surprises, both Gary Hammonds and I, equal many other enthusiasts over
time, shared a common fascination by the Carver's wonderful work as a American
Pit Bull Terriers breeder, registering his dogs in the Canine Mother
internationally of the breed, the American Dog Breeders Association (ADBA), we both decided to go further,
to ignore the gossip of the ill-intentioned, and to incorporate Carver dogs as
much as possible into our respective breeding plans, enjoying it in various
ways for as many years as we could, and that's what we're still doing...
American
Dog Breeders Association (ADBA): https://www.fiapbt.net/officialpedigree.html
To
finish say, it's worth mentioning that there have been hundreds of excellent
American Pit Bull Terrier breeders in the planet throughout history, and Gary
Hammonds has undoubtedly been one of them. In my personal opinion, the six best
American Pit Bull Terrier breeders in the breed's history, in order, were:
- Maurice Carver.
- Earl Tudor.
- Floyd Boudreaux.
- John P.H. Colby.
- Frank G. Henry.
- Howard Heinzl.
Etc.,
etc.

breed for your information. We hope and we wish that you enjoy a lot with this information about the breed that we are
