In Loving Memory

Sacro Romano Imperio Caius Julius Caesar "Santos"

24-04-2004

† 08-06-2009

I just can't find the correct words to say about Santos death right now and I wonder if I ever can... At this moment I just can say something about the 3 years we have spent together... He was my first dog, my best friend, my trainings partner, my big love, my pride... He was playfull, driven, funny, sweet, macho... He made me appreciate the breed American Staffordshire Terrier even more then I already did and he motivated me to start my kennel. Unfortunately I made the decision to replace him, because I thought this was best for him... It turned out in his way too early death at an age of just 5 years old... If I only knew this was going to happen... :(

Until we meet again...

Barry's Starting Over With KS "Bubba"

26-08-2005

† 24-05-2011

When we picked up Bubba in December 2010 in Hungary, his problems started to show slowly. It began with kennel cough, cystitis and bladder stones. He lost blood from his penis and his hair was falling out. He was on diverse medication and a special diet for all of this but the problems only got worse. After more research (x-rays and ultrasound) his prostate appeared enormous and was filled with cysts so we decided to neuter him. We hoped the problems would stay away after this but unfortunately that was not the case. He started to get depressed; only wanted to go out for very short walks and just slept for the rest of the time. His movement was visibly getting worse and he lost weight, so again he got a total check up (blood-/urine tests and x-rays) and multiple problems were noticed. A spinal deviation showed plus the thyroid wasn't working like it should. Again a bunch of medication and painkillers for this boy, which actually didn't really work. When he got daily diarrhoea and he finally ended up with a spinal tumor too, the time came to decide the best thing for Bubba, because this was not the life we wanted for him. He deserved a happy life after all he's been through and not a depressed life in pain. He couldn't even walk normally, he kept falling down in his last days and this happened at an age of just 5,5 years old... I want to thank Bubba's last owners Marjolein, Bas and little Mick - who was Bubba's best buddy. They took such good care for Bubba in his last months, they gave him so much love and I am happy that he could be a part of their family!

Until we meet again...

Blue Rising Star Collectors Item "Guarda"

29-09-2008

† 20-06-2011

This morning the very sad news arrived that our bred boy Blue Rising Star Collectors Item "Guarda" passed away at a way too young age. After being very sick from a heavy bacterial infection for some days, he was brought to the bloodbank in Nijverdal yesterday evening for a transfusion. Unfortunately Guarda was too weak to get the transfusion at that moment, so he had to stay there on an infusion last night, hoping he would get stronger. This morning he began to pass out and the doctors did try to reanimate him, but it was too late... We still can not believe it, it all went so fast and we want to wish Guarda's owners many strength with this great loss...

Until we meet again...

Our lost puppies...

No farewell words were spoken

No time to say goodbye

You were gone before we knew it

And only God knows why

Mystical "Nino"

I met this boy in 2005 and he made a great impression on me. Such amazing looks and what a strong temperament he had! Maybe too much character for some, but respected by many! Unfortunately he got a lung defect and passed away too soon at the age of only 8 years old... His owner Elwin still misses him every single day... Rest in Peace Nino!
