As a young man
in the early 70’s
there were guys in
my area a lot older
than I was out fight-
ing dogs, but at the
time none if them
had pitbulls, they
just had any kind of
dog that was will-
ing to fight. I knew
about pitbulls, as
there were people
in my family that
had them. One day
I asked my dad if I
could get one and he
said to me “as long
as you can keep the

t is really a shame that so many
great animals did not get the
chance to show themselves in
the lime light. We had monsters off
of Invicto and were not able to match
them due to the minimal amount of
dogmen and Conventions at the time.
How frustrating could be to know

that you have such great animals, but
are not able to do much with them?
This was mostly the case in the early
to late 90’s, ergo the reason I say that
it wouldn’t be fair to judge Invicto’s
production record, considering that
while at his best years of youth and
health, Invicto’s best offsprings were
wasting away at the end of a chain be-
cause of the lack of competition.
The sport in Peru started to move

at a faster pace toward the end of the

This is just a taste of the many

great animals Invicto left behind.
Each one of the animals mentioned
above played an important role within
this family. Some were great per-
formers and some became excel-
lent producers. The real kicker here
would be comparing the ratio be-
tween animals produced, the amount
of shows and the amount of dogmen
in this area, to other studs who came
directly off of Pat’s yard, but who lived
in countries like the USA, which have
a huge amount of shows per year
and a greater amount of dogmen per
capita. Using this criteria will evi-
dently and without a question prove
that Invicto was the most important
producer that came directly off of
Pat’s yard ever, but since in the sport
of gamedogs the “what if” is left out
for dreamers and “wannabees”, then Patrick’s INVICTO - February 2005
we will never know. Real numbers is
what counts and only real numbers
get printed in the history books.
Now, when I talk about the In-

victo’s legacy, this doesn’t mean that
we have reached an ending point and
there is no more, absolutely not. In
fact, the best is yet to come.
Fortunately Invicto continued to

produce up until a very old age, thus
giving us two last litters, one at 13
years old and one at 14 years old.
These litters were; Invicto bred to Pi-
mienta and Invicto bred to Miss Red-
neck. We still have 2 living offsprings
off of the Invicto to Pimienta litter and
3 off of the Invicto to Miss Redneck lit-
ter. They are:
• Imperios Kennel’s Invicto II Impreios Knls’ INVICTO II

• Imperios Kennel’s Mr. Redneck The main Stud at Imperios Kennels. He is one of only 3 males alive off of the ol’man Invicto. Imperi-

though they are, they have already

Invicto II, Tuffy and Mr. Redneck

Knowing this blood like the back

of my hand and considering that I own
the last 3 living sons off of Invicto, I
can say with certainty and with true
authority, that Invicto II is THE heir
and successor of the old man Invicto.
Invicto II possesses all the quali-
ties to be acknowledged and recog-
nized as one of the best sons the old
man Invicto ever produced. Unfortu-
nately, circumstances got in the mid-
dle of Invicto II becoming a contract

We continued to have his weight

open for months after collecting the
last forfeit but we had no takers, until
it was finally decided to retire him.
Many would think this idea to be

crazy, risking one of the last 3 liv-

cially one of such caliber, but that is
not why Invicto II wasn’t shown. We
knew we had a bulldog, we wanted to

just a lot of convincing rolls and chain

fights. After Buck had aged bob pur-
chased a Colby dog named Billy. Billy
turned out to be an extremely game
dog. Billy was matched and won sev-
en conditioned contests against lo-
cal dogmen of the area. Bob used to
smile after impressing you with the
first part of Billy’s story, and would
remark “After Billy’s 7th win I be-
came over-enthused with the old boy.
I matched Billy into what was one of
the toughest pit dogmen I ever faced
with a dog, which was Jim McKen-
zie from Jackson, Tennessee”. After
one hour & four minutes, Bob had
picked up a game but beaten Billy,
with Bob being somewhat puzzled
as to what went wrong. Bob was so
puzzled he rematched the same dog
a few months later! It was a replay of
the first, with Bob picking up a game

a great deal bigger, Bob believed the
red was a rank cur. The match took

In late 1946 at the age of 51, Ne-

blett moved from Detroit, Michigan
to Neosho, Missouri. It was there he
purchased some land, set up a busi-
ness and built his kennels. Bob didn’t
do anymore matches for one reason
or another, although he did handle
a dog in a fight once for fun against
a well known dogman from Kansas
City. The fight took place in Missis-
sippi and the duration was a little over
the hour mark. The dog Bob handled

Earl Skaggs. Bob felt if he had worked
the dog himself of if the Skaggs dog
was in a little better shape, he would
have won with no problem.
Neblett’s BRADDOCK JR Unlike many men, Bob Neblett

always placed pit bulldogs in his life
as a “hobby”, because “business”
was something you either conducted
or had to take care of, not something
that you loved. A feeling that Bob had
which he voiced with pride was that
he couldn’t own any other breed of
dog and probably would never had
owned a dog if it weren’t for the
game, fighting pit dog. This statement
was true in Bob’s life through his con-
tinuous dedication he showed to the
breed. The evidence of Bob’s dedica-
tion came in the quality of bulldogs
he bred along with the visual purity
of Neblett breeding in pedigrees. Few
men claim to have bred dogs 40 or 50
years can hand you a pedigree with
75% of the dogs in that pedigree hav-
ing the same prefix or their last name
on them. Bob was a man who could!
On June 4th of 1980, early in the

morning while mowing his lawn, Bob
Neblett had a heart attack and passed
on to glory a few hours later at the
age of 85.

Here’s a fine example of what the

pure Neblett strain, crossed over had
produced. Maloney’s CH Strider was
born out west in the yard of Jim Bur-
ton. He was given to a young boy as
a birthday present as a pup. Strider
was aptly named not only for his
running ability, but also for the fact
that ‘The Strider’ (of the Hobbit sto-
ry book) meant the ‘Protector’, and
Strider was just that. He was raised
with children as a loyal house pet.
Strider simply loved Butterfinger
candy bars, and was both treated and
behaved as if he was one of the kids.
Even when it came time to line up due
to misbehaviour, he took his place in
the line with his head bowed as they Neblett’s DUDE McCOY
all received a stern calling down.
As Strider grew into adulthood, he

was left at home more and more often
by the children, because as one small
fry termed it “he can’t hold his tem-
per”. He was adopted by a New Mexi-
can dogman who later traded him to
Don Maloney, under whose direction
he earned his Championship. He was
so loved that there wasn’t a dry eye
evident when Strider peacefully died
at 11 years of age. Bob Neblett, Bert Tudor, Earl Tudor, C.M. Marshall
