I first got involved with bull terriers in 1978 when I purchased a bitch puppy from bill Morgan (Meardy) there have been few times since then that a bull terrier was not somewhere in my life, the first interest I had in miniatures was 2004  after going to WELKS I was somewhat impressed with some of the dogs I saw that day and decided to do some research on breeders , it took two years to finally get my first miniature from a  Mrs. G Nicholls who had just had her first litter I believe, and from that day I have been smitten ,

Now the pup I bought was Black Mountains Bow, was that my lucky day or what, to pick a future champion , and future Crufts Best Of Breed ,out of the seven pups that were left!

Now I don't really like showing dogs ,and bow was bought as a pet. but sometimes you come across a nice one and it is nice to show them off ,  all that said I was glad after getting her crown I could get away from showing , (I really don't like how crooked dog showing is )

But I again made the mistake of watching another breed I have admired in the past

Lakeland terriers , so again I watched them at shows for about a year , and was introduced to

John Averis from the famous Saredon kennel , after a long chat they let me have a bitch puppy (Saredon Midnight In Blue)

Now  this bitch had a real quality about her , she went over to the USA for a year to learn the finer points of being a show dog ,  (because if you see my handling skills) you would understand what she was up against , she made champion there .,handled and living with Tracy Zsaras (Delzar) kennels ,she then returned here in August 2011

So she will be out at shows this year 2012  to strut her stuff, handled and prepared by Warren Bradley

I would like to thank Saredon kennels for trusting me with their breeding

I would also like to thank Vanessa Hearne (Warbonnet) for giving a newbee a helping hand and showing Black Mountains Bow to her crown at Crufts.  Thanks Minto ☺
