From Dez Auld.
THE RESULTS are in and officially counted. The People have spoken. It was a pretty close-run thing between Banksy, Buck and Jack TBH. They were the pack out in front. BlackJack V had steady support as always without me casting a single vote for him. Grand Georgia Giant's "Call of The Wilds Buck"@ StoneHouse American Bulldogs had very strong individual votes.
But Keys Robyn Banks had the broadest support and came out On Top; actually, to my surprise as I was counting the votes. Buck featured strongest in the highest of preferences with many commenting similarly that they saw him as exemplary Johnson type. In the early counting he had what I thought was an insurmountable lead. But at the end of the day almost everyone featured Banksy in their Fav's and this is what put him across the line. He's the best dog I have seen from Sam Keys - and with Long Term Quality breeder "Nitro American Bulldogs" he competed in all 5 Irondog events and won Irondog Junior Champion 2024 & Irondog Show Champion (Family Protector) at the Nationals in 2025! The same show that saw Badlands JackKnife Johnny become Grand Champion and now former Topdog of 2025-26. Thank you Badlands.
Which means Robyn Banks is not just a pretty face, he can do it all. A very, well rounded Bulldog and deservedly "Topdog" for 26-27", remembering that it runs from financial year to financial year. So many commenting on his extreme good looks. Congratulations David and Hazel McGregor at Nitro. David selected Banksy as a lil pup, with a very keen eye for quality. These guys are at The Top of the Ten Best Studs in Australia out of around 40!

An interesting note, GGG Buck & GGG BlackJack V are litter brothers with Jimmy MacDonalds "Rock and Roll Wrestler"! This mirrors Nitro Bulldogs efforts in 2025 with 3 Bulldogs in the Top Ten Studs in Australia.
P.S Nitro's R***r, BDB's Eddie Junior@Keys Kennel and Asgards Rumble in the Bronx just missed the Top Ten.
