RIP Allegra of Laelaps

We knew it was coming, but we hadn’t thought it would come so suddenly. This morning she was fine, but a few moments after 10 o’clock she had a seizure or stroke. She was clearly in pain and couldn’t walk anymore. Sadly, we had to let her go.

We are heartbroken to say the least.
She was the sweetest, most gentle bullterrier we ever had!

Allegra of Laelaps 15.11.2009 – 25.01.2025

Judging B.T.C.B. Young Dog day

Today I had the honour of judging the Young Dog day for Bull Terrier Club Belgium.

It was a very nice day and being able to see the potential for the future of bullterriers was a real joy.

Judging Clubmatch Bullmastiff Vereniging Nederland

On this day I was invited together with Sophie de Beer to judge the Clubmatch for the Bullmastiff Vereniging Nederland in Benschop (Utrecht).

I was honored to be judging the bitches during the morning and then allowed to discuss the overall winners with my collegue in the afternoon.

Dr. Cohen Memorial Trophy show

Today two of our dogs competed in the Dr. Cohen Memorial Trophy show organised by N.B.T.C.
They both qualified for this show by winning multiple CACs during the previous 12 months.

Sadly neither won any prizes, but we were happy to show them off to the public once again.

Congratulations to the winners.

Egmond aan Zee // Country Competition

This weekend all of the biggest Bull Terrier lovers in the world were present in Egmond aan Zee (as far as Covid would enable them to be there).

This was to be the new location of the Country Competition, organised by the NBTC, which was organised in Leiden in recent years.

The Netherlands had really great results this year, winning 3 out of 4 classes.
Our bitch, Iphigenia of Laelaps, was reserve for the Dutch team in the class bitches under 2 years.
