N.B.T.C. Dr. Cohen Memorial Trophy Show

Today was a busy day.
N.B.T.C. organises the Dr. Cohen Memorial Trophy Show for all dogs who achieved a CAC during the previous 12 months.
Next to that, they organise a Young Dog Day and a Clubmatch at the same venue on the same day. Pixie was not eligible for the Trophy Show, but she did compete in the other two events.

Young Dog Day

Today our little Pixie competed in the Young Dog Day organised by N.B.T.C.

As the only entry in her class, she was declared the winner.
Sadly she wasn’t chosen as the best bitch of the day.

Clubmatch

With several entries in her class she didn’t catch the judge’s eye and was placed fourth. Obviously we are still very proud of how she performed throughout the day.

Dr. Cohen Memorial Trophy Show

Laura was asked to be the official Referee for this event, considering we wouldn’t have any dogs competing. She was called upon for the very last decision of the day, because the judges couldn’t decide for the overall winner of the Dr. Cohen Memorial Trophy.

Continental European Trophy Show

Skylark’s Young Laelaps, “Pixie”, (UKCH Kirkville Tokyo Jo X Skylark’s Until Crack Of Dawn), was placed first in Youth Class Bitches. (At 9 months old, with 11 entry’s!)

We are obviously very proud of this result and we hope she will continue to surprise us.

Visit Špindlerův Mlýn

For the first time in a long time we went on holidays with the dogs. We travelled through Czech Republic making many nice visits to friends and family all around.

A special treat for us was a visit to Špindlerův Mlýn where we could enjoy the hospitality of X and Y, who happened to have puppies at the time.

Dutch Bullterrier Weekend – Open Show

Today Skylark’s Young Laelaps, a.k.a. Pixie, competed in her first show at the Open Show during the Dutch International Bullterrier Weekend.

Sadly she wasn’t placed, but we were very happy with how she behaved in the ring. We are certain she will soon be getting nice results at local shows.

Pixie to the woods

With a new pup in our midst, we are once again taking longer walks. Obviously we had to show Pixie the forest that’s near our home.

She seemed to really enjoy the walk and immediately showed a great potential for becoming a Show Dog.

New Addition to the Of Laelaps Family

It is with great pride and joy that we announce the arrival of “Pixie”.

Skylark’s Young Laelaps, which is Pixie’s official kennel name, will be joining us in our home at the beginning of October 2025. Of course more pictures will follow!

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
