CH Sloans Turbo
Bst1, CD

 

Its a great trill to  not only  learn about Turbo threw his profile  but to share his story Turbo was  own by Alan Sloan, Turbo is one of those fun dogs that  never embarrass you or  leave you asking for more always willing to please , possessed great ability had  ton of fight , solids nerves,  great confirmation  and a great companion to boot ,     he was a awesome specimen big box dog  with   awesome  movement his  spirit to compete and great  fight  drive always put him on top of the competition . 
 I first learn about Turbo  when I join  Tom Riches Posse ( So Cal  training club) at the time most bulldogs being worked at that club were of Turbo  descendants  and a few from Rattler , Souza and Mikie  lines ,  but at the time one Rattler dog Taz and three  Turbo dogs  were the main attraction at the club  one being, Snope's  Bronco , Erfurst Lil and Sam  Elread's  Buck  the rest were just fair dogs or good prospect .
Buck was a young dog but  was an impressive   dog  already  a few of us   stood after the main group was gone to watch Tom work him with Josh ,  after the work out Tom would  go on and rave about how impress he was with  Buck  , Buck was Turbo bred to a Niko  daughter,  we were so impress that  as soon as Tom said they are doing that breeding   again the Zaporolis and Myself ordered dogs  out of that litter ,  Tom raved about  the  Turbo dogs  in general  than  he   go onto  rant stories about   Turbo it was an  awesome experience   .
Turbo came to Tom for training as  both he and Al Banuelos offered to train him  being so impress with him after working  him,   Alan sent   Turbo to California and   acquired a Bst1  under Toms handling and training , Tom says he put turbo  on many  decoys and all wanted him off seconds  into the first bite   ,  Tom's says Turbo's   biggest asset was   his temperament that Turbo  could go threw windows ,  cars buildings any thing  you ask him  to go threw  he would do it  full blast nothing  would spook him  , Tom goes on to  say  Turbo's   grips  were  silent but deadly ,  no growling just steady solid compression .
 Turbo  produced two   Sch three  title dogs Snope Bronco  and a phenomenal female  in Erfurst LIl Rascal a sch3  bulldog that competed against top level GS and mal's  and beat many of them , Turbo  has many Bst  dogs as well  and several second generation working dogs , his ability to produce good working dogs  was  a very  predictable  asset .   
 I saw Turbo only once in Butler Il he was and older dog already but his commitment to the bite was still evident   what impress me the most  was his movement  specially for a big dog , this  movement and commitment for the bite  is also very evident in his off spring  I  see it allot  in my dog Harvey  saw it on Lil and many Turbo dogs they are quick and fast to the bite  ,  Alan could not found a better name for  this dog as Turbo's  on / off switch  and burst of power was like of an  actual turbine .

I like to thank Alan Sloan for sharing his dog' s story and Also Tom Riche for introducing me to this great dog  and for sharing so many positive stories about Turbo .
