Kearney Whitehackle Gamefowl

Bloodline History

Breeders who Swear by the Whitehackle

Jesse Horta, a very smart gamefowl breeder, said that in order to win in today’s competition, you should have bloodlines that can kill Sweaters.  The current reigning champion of the pit throughout the Philippines is the Sweater, its swarming attack always overwhelming all comers after the last infusion by Carol Nesmith enabled a bird that once lost steam in a long fight due to its relentless attacks to sustain a fight until its opponent gave up the ghost.  Because of this, almost all cockers in the country have Sweaters as part of their broodstock.  Jesse

To make his Sweater Killers ( Jesse christened them as his White-Legged Sweater ), he  crossed a Kearny Whitehackle and Junior Belt’s Cowan Roundhead together at a 3/4 Kearny Whitehackle x 1/4 Cowan Roundhead ratio.

Curt Langston, another cocker who was lucky to get original stock from Floyd Gurley himself in the 90s, before the old man retired.  Both exchanged ideas on how to cross and raise the Whitehackle for better fighters.  Mr. Langston chose to breed with Oriental fowl, and the outcome helped him win 13 straight fights in long knife in his outing with the Whitehackle hybrid crosses years ago and recently he won 4-cock derby using the same Kearney Whitehackle cross.

Most other Gamefarms in the Philippines that had the precious opportunity to acquire Floyd Gurley bred Kearney Whitehackles to cross with their own broodstocks, like RED GAMEFARM have had very good fight records against othewr local top cockers.

The Kearney Whitehackle is always bred as pure stock and are often crossed with the Sweaters and Roundheads for a modern pit fighter that can go head to head with any rooster.
