Name: Buck

Age: about 3 1/2 (well, that's when his neice and nephew are born anyways. Also when Fly Boy makes his appearence...)

Gender: male

Breed: Doberman

Mate: nope. He wants to be a stud dog(and in fact has mated with several unknown females before), but his master thinks that the ladies would be too distracting for his prized fighter. He has a huge thing for one of John's friends, a saucy girl named Cheyenne.

Pups: who knows? He does have two with Litonya, but she doesn't take care of em. Buck lets em live on the street near his house and brings them scraps and stuff. He probably wouldn't bother if they were girls....

Personality: Unlike his sensible, good-natured brother, Buck is a demanding, egotistical tyrant. He gets angry very quickly, and is quick to physically fight anyone. He is a brash talker and thinker, always having something utterly rude or disgusting to say. His secret life keeps him pretty busy though(much to everyone's relief), but even out of the dog ring he picks fights often and doesn't stop until he wins. He doesn't try to sugar-coat his intentions with females--sleep with him or don't. Otherwise(like his father), he could care less about their well-being, or anyone else. He has a soft-spot for his brother, but doesn't like his nephew Toby, thinking of him as a weak sissy. He's a bit 'kinder' to his sassy niece ,Iris, though.

Likes: Females; his brother; Cheyenne and being around, about, and with her; fighting other dogs(in the ring or out); winning; his master; showing of his muscular physique 

Dislikes: Fly Boy; his brother(love-hate relationship); losing under any circumstances; Toby(its more like 'I'm so embarrased I'm related to you'); males. Competition.

Fears: He's too thick-headed for any real fears, though Fly Boy taking Cheyenne away from him would rank high up there...

History: Buck was born in a very large litter- 8 dobbies! Their mother and subsequent father were both part of the breeding black market. His father had several more litters and then died in the ring. His mother was beaten to death for biting the kennel owners when they tried to take her babies from her, making her a 'worthless investment'. Buck's brother, John, and himself were bought together to be used as fighting dogs. However, the men in charge only wanted Buck, whose red eyes were constant with that of a true, aggressive, fighting Doberman. John's blue baby eyes did not go over well with the ring handlers, so he was sent along with the other rejected puppies to a shop-keeper who was in on the scandal and and promptly sold the pups. 

Buck was bought by a rich man who ran a fishing company. He is very proud of Buck and decides to keep him as a house-dog as well as a (secret)champion fighting dog. Buck sees his brother often as the junkyard John works at is only a few blocks away from Buck's house. They are quite close, but they go through rifts depending on Buck's mood.

One afternoon, while John mistakingly brought one of his new friend's over to the junkyard, Buck happened to be stopping by for a visit. He recognized her immediatly; she was owned by a man who worked for Buck's master. Not waiting for introductions, he immediatly began dropping hints to her. Horrified, John tried coaxing her out and back to her house, but she stood her ground, and snapped back. The novelty of her wit surprised and excited Buck. Before leaving(he truly felt that she would move to bite him), he told her that they would meet again. And  they did...over...and over...and over again, much to her, Cheyenne's, discomfort.

Buck was still pursuing her gradually every time their masters met. Nothing changed much until her owner almost drowned from a fishing boat...a search and rescue dog restored him back to Cheyenne, and she started following the dog around, speaking gibberish and acting very ditzy all of the sudden. Buck was instintaniously jealous of the new dog, Fly Boy(c)Rush Hour. The quietly sarconic female had never acted like that around Buck before, and now, here she was acting like a love-struck dove around this total stranger. Buck vowed a silent oath against the male, deciding to make him his sworn enemy.
