Edward Anthony Faron (born November 9, 1947) is an American author and a breeder of pit bulls for dog fighting.[2] He is generally regarded in the United States as the Godfather of dog fighting.[3][4][5]

Ed Faron was born in Ohio and trained dogs after returning from serving in the Vietnam War in 1970.[6] He started breeding pit bull dogs in 1987. In 1995 he co-authored the book The Complete Gamedog: A Guide to Breeding and Raising the American Pit Bull Terrier.[7] In 1996 Ed Faron moved to Millers Creek, North Carolina to create Wildside Kennels.[6]

In 2008 Ed Faron was indicted for a running a dog fighting operation called Wildside Kennels, which was based in Wilkes County, North Carolina.[8] In 2009, he pleaded guilty to dog fighting and received a 10-month prison sentence plus probation time.[9][10][11] Faron had previously been convicted for dog fighting in 1989.[6]

127 pit bulls were seized in the 2008 raid, to be euthanized.[12]
