History was made on many many occasions throughout 2007-2008 not only for our breed with Enferno but the huge success our bloodlines have had throughout the UK and Europe made history on many occasions too. To make "breed" History is an amazing feeling but Enferno made it possible for us to make history for the UK too " all breeds" when he won Best in Show at Gent International Show in Belgium.

Enferno, "The History Maker" His achievements these last 2 years have blown us away and we are proud to have had the chance to share this boy with his breeders Bart and Cressy (our dear friends). He has done so much for the Dogue De Bordeaux breed not only in the UK but world wide. He has won Best of Breed at every champ show exhibited through 2008, he has won BEST IN SHOW at every breed club show in Europe in 2008 he attended, Hungarian, French, Belgian and Dutch club shows in 2007 & 2008 and both times at the UK club Shows in 2007.

For the first time ever we decided to really try and hit the championship show scene in the UK as much as we could,  where the entries sometimes exceed 80 dogs, with the hope of him becoming TOP DOG 2008.  We would have loved to exhibit Enferno at more UK shows but due to our commitment to the European shows we couldnt make them all But every time he did attend he took Best of Breed and was placed in the group 3 times (still to date the only DDB to do this in the UK) He was also the very first Best of Breed winner at the highest level in the UK (Champ Shows). We have to say we are overjoyed to hear the news that Enferno did it! TOP UK DOGUE DE BORDEAX 2008 with his daughter becoming Top Puppy in the UK!

The last shows in 2008 was a 2 shows weekend, first the "LKA" Ch show in the UK and Genk International Show in Belgium where Enferno took Best of Breed at both but went onto win the Group and the Res Best In Show at Genk, What a way to end the year!

4x Best in Show "International all breeds"

3x Res Best in Show "all breeds"

2x Group 2 "International" 

3x Group 4 "UK Championship shows"

Making him the most titled dog EVER in the UK and is the only dog in the history of the breed who has come close to winning as many prestigeous titles as this.

What more can we say?

Except he is for sure the most successful Dogue De Bordeaux in the history of the breed!  We wait in anticipation to see what Enferno does in 2009 but we know it doesn't get any better than this!

Tito, Although a little in Enferno's shadow we are so proud of our achievements with his younger brother. Although Tito has only been lighty shown through out 2007-2008 and only in Europe, he has certainly done us proud. In 2007 taking Best Youth at both French and Dutch clubmatch's and the following year taking reserve Best male to Enferno at the Belgian and Dutch Clubmatch. He has took many reserve best male's to Enferno but in 2008 made us very proud when he took Best of Breed at the prestigious Winners Show and then went on to win 2nd in the group. At Douai International in 2007 he also won big against other breeds when he took Reserve Best Junior in Show. We are also very proud that he became Youth European and Youth Croatian Champion in 2007 and picked up his final point for Dutch Champion in 2008. Our Bloodlines have certainly made us proud in 2007-2008. I dont think any kennel/bloodline have been this prolific at the top shows in Europe like we have in 2008.

A huge tribute to our boy Apollo and his mum Anya.....
