His sixth match was against the highly regarded 2X Winner Nanny’s Hank.
Match four was against Lewis’ Python, this dog quit cold in :39. Match five was against the North Central Texas Boys’ Goldie and went much the same as his fourth, as Goldie quit in :23. Melon went right through him and made it look easy when they picked up at 1:15 making Melonhead a 3X Winner and a Champion. The owners of Hathaway’s Uzi were contacted for Melonhead’s third show. He was picked up at 1:00 and made a good courtesy scratch. Shankbone brought a dog named Maxwell that was truly game. Shank is one tough competitor and Melonhead had a job ahead of him. His second fight was a little better of a contest with the match being made with Shankbone. Rocky was a cur and with his defeat Melon is awarded his first contract victory. His first fight was against Lawrence’s Rocky. Melon won this fight easily by curring Rocky out in the short time of :25. Well, two years later, and after a total of nine wins GR CH Melonhead has indeed silenced his critics. His critics claimed that the first time he gets in trouble he will quit. You see, from the people I spoke to, Melon was a very good “hold out” artist.
Melonhead had won three matches, but in my mind he was not getting the respect he deserved. When I was just starting out in the game a few years ago, I was criticized for thinking this way about a dog called Melonhead. When you are a beginner in the dog game every dog you hear about winning a few matches is considered a great dog, especially if the dog is from the bloodline of your choice.
