| TRAHAN'S "CH"RASCAL" |
| Trahan's Rascal (a.k.a. Clavelle's Pimple, Hanson's Pimple, and Boudreaux' Rascal) was bred by Joe Corvino of Chicago. Rascal, like Dibo, was by Hubbard's (Corvino's) Bounce, bred by Wiz Hubbard, and out of Corvino's Make-Up. Make-Up's sire was Corvino's Trump and her dam was Corvino's (Menefee's) Imp. Rascal was sent to Hanson by Corvino and later Rascal went to Pete Lormond, then to Clavelle and finally Rascal was traded to Floyd Boudreaux, where he and Gaboon Trahan collaborated on many of the breedings with Rascal. Like Dibo, Rascal wouldn't start as a young dog and as a matter of fact, he was also stolen, but because of the fact that he hadn't turned on, they turned him loose into the streets. It is believed that Rascal won approx. 6 matches at a weight of 57 lbs.. He was considered a game dog, who was a very rough ear dog. He sired: Trahan's Country Boy (a.k.a. Trahan's Peter (Pete) 3x @ 43 lbs., who sired Shires' Buster Trahan's Little Rascal Trahan's Marciano, who sired Carver's Blondy Trahan's Lou Trahan's Beauty, who whelped Orday's Pat Trahan's Boy, a game loser in 2:30 Womack's Chief, who sired Mayfield's Black Elias' Pistol, who sired Carver's Pistol and Carver's Red Girl Carver's Sherly, who whelped Carver's Blondy Boudreaux' Rascal Jr., who sired Boudreaux Kandee and Carver's Rascal III, the grandsire of Tom's Obnoxious Ox 4x Thibodeaux' Ruby, who whelped Cotton's Bullet 14x, who sired Crenshaw's Sad Sack Cajen 2x, who lost in 2:12 to Komosinski's Rocky II and many more. To reinforce the importance of the two dogs, Dibo and Rascal, in the history of today's American Pit Bull Terrier, it is very unlikely that you can trace the pedigree of any Pit Bull bred in the USA, and not find at least one of these two dogs in the pedigree. I believe the only strain of pit bulls that does not trace back to Dibo or Rascal would be the Colby bred dogs. But, they are being crossed with these strains to produce winners, i.e. Jeep / Red Boy, Red Boy / Jocko, Red Boy / Bolio and so on.. |
