About Us

 

 

 

It all started with Basset Hound in 1972 and in 1975 we had our first litter. During these year it we were very active both in the showring and in tracking tests (blood-scent trials)

I was proud of Bar-B´s Four Flusher Coktail who became NordUCH and having passed tracking tests she could now add the IntUCH to her other titles. She, as well as moust of my dogs, has even passed working dog trials.

My top winning dog was SUCH NUCH NV-90 NV-91 Bar-B´s Jonny Walker, owner Kennel Linrow, Norway. He was awarded several BOG and BIS at Swedish Kennel Club and Norwegian Kennel Club shows and he was BEST IN SHOW at The Basset Hound Specialty Show both in Sweden and Norway.

 

Between 1975 and1987 we bred 10 Basset Hound litters.

 

1986 saw the arrival of my first Bullmastiff , Doggmas Miss Ruddy Reddy. She became IntUCH NordUCH and passed working dog trials. From her first litter, SUCH Bar-B`s Barossa Valley became the first dog of this breed to be approved for military service by the Swedish Army, which goes to show that it is possible to combine beauty with funktion.

All the puppies in her second litter became champions. Among them were IntUCH SUCH NUCH SW-89-90-91-92  NW-90 Bar-B´s Cordon Negro "Viktor", owner Kennel Boston Lady,Norway, and his sister IntUCH, SUCH  NUCH Bar-B´s Cordon Rouge "Eva" who stayed in the kennel. Eve and Viktor became BOB and BOS 1990 in the Norwegian Bullmastiff Cup and Viktor became BEST IN SHOW in the Bullmastiff Specialty Show in 1994.

I was one of the first to use AI in 1991 and this resulted in a litter of seven beutiful boys.

In  1995 Issabella the Cob arrived from kennel Old Manila in Norway. She became SUCH and was my first brindle. In 1998 I acquired the fourteen mounth old Luwabull´s King Charles from Switzerland via Denmark. Charlie soon became Int UCH, Nord UCH, SW-99, NW-99 KBHW-00. In the swedish Bullmastiff Specialty Show in 2003 Charlie was BEST IN SHOW and his doughter SUCH Skrynklans Silvriga Silvia, BOS.

At the Specialty Show in 2004 Charlie was BEST IN SHOW - Veteran and was the sire of the BEST BREEDING GROUP. He also became THE BULLMASTIFF OF THE YEAR in 2004. A son of Charlie, Vintergatans Baloo, was awarded the title in the 2005.

In May 2008 Charlie left us at the ripe age of 11 years. Charlie was a fantastically sound and healthy dog, his visits to the vet were mearly a matter of going through the motions, getting shots and being issued with a healthy certificate.

At the moment there is only one Bullmastiff at home,SUCH DKUCH NUCH NW-08 Bar- B´s A Red Beauty Box "Lea". Lea had her first litter by Charlie in the autumn of 2009, producing 8 fantastic puppies. Technology has made some progress, then!

 

Up till now we have had 12 Bullmastiff litters.

 

At last, I was able to acquire my first French Bulldog in 2009. Her name is Jade´s Maywood of Magna Carta or    "Moa". She is a lemon pied little girl who has charmed all and everyone and Lea adores her new baby sister.
