![]() Our fowl passed the experimental stage and have characteristics bred into them. For the last six years I have been out of the game and breeding, but my son Chris has had the honor of carrying on the breeding and fighting the Black Water fowl, and may I say he has done a wonderful job. I don’t claim to have originated the best strain of pit fowls in the world or even in Alabama, but the fact that Black Water fowl have won the majority of their fights in hard competition and have kept pace with the best of the cocking people for the last 15 – 20 years under all rules and lengths of gaffs and knives in the Philippines and Mexico is very gratifying. The days of a monopoly in the cocking game has passed away because of money and brains in the cocking game. There are many of both in class “A” and when you go to a derby nowadays for real money, you are sure to meet both of them. It’s my opinion that there is no “one best strain fowl” and not one best feeder either. ![]() I have bred, fought, fed, bought, healed and handled cocks of many different strains and crosses and have done (probably) as much breeding experimenting as many man my age. Now I am 60 years old and still, I love game fowl as much or more than I ever have. The story starts about 49 years ago when I first fell in love with the game fowl. While complying with the request of my friends in the Philippines, Mexico and here at home, I would like to give some history of the Sweater strain of gamefowl since they came into my possession.
