About me :

About 10 years ago we bought our first Staffordshire Bull Terrier  from Adele & Louis of Larumo Kennels. This was Gabby ( Ch Sabod Power Potion of Larumo). Gabby was born on 4 March 2003, a very lovable, soft natured Stafford. I decided not to open my own kennel and Louis & Adele agreed to campaign my Stafford's,  as well as managing their breeding. Adele started showing  Gabby and soon made her up as champion. On occasions I went with Adele to the shows & liked the idea of showing Stafford's. Later Adele, Louis & I traveled all over the country to attend shows with Gabby.

Louis & Adele decided to mate Gabby, her first litter produced only one puppy, namely Brutus (Larumo One & Only of Boldwin). I decided to keep this puppy & Louis started showing Brutus and soon made him champion. Brutus was Larumo’s very first bred champion. Again Louis & Adele decided on a mating for Gabby & we agreed that they would take a female puppy from this litter.  This  litter produced 2 puppies, namely Ch Larumo Jagged Ice &  Larumo Mystic Ice of Boldwin. Ch Larumo Jagged Ice, (please visit www.larumo.co.za to see this most beautiful Stafford & her accomplishments), was Adele & Louis top bitch, she had a terrific show career & produced beautiful puppies, one, Larumo Queen Sarabi of Boldwin is in my kennel. Sadly Ch Larumo Jagged Ice passed away in December 2011. Ice, an once in a life time Stafford, will be missed dearly, I loved her as if she was my own.

Traveling to the shows with Adele & Louis was very exciting and I enjoyed sitting alongside the show ring, taking photo’s, cheering & clapping when Larumo won & made up champions. I then decided to try out handling & took Larumo Mystic Ice of Boldwin into the ring. This was not so easy as it looked but I really enjoyed showing my dogs. On occasion Louis & Adele had a few puppies of the same age and handing all of them between themselves at the shows seemed a problem. They allowed me to show one of their puppies,  Amber (Mirrabooka Amberley Sweet of Larumo). With their guidance & patience teaching me how to handle a show dog,  Amber even got so far as competing in Best Puppy in Show. Sadly Amber passed away before she could be made champion.  I loved this little bitch with all my heart! I will never forget you,  Sweet Amber.

Through the years I took on a few more of Larumo’s puppies, another is Beau (Larumo Beautie of Boldwin) who produced AJ (Ch Larumo Shark Attack). AJ was also showed and campaigned by Adele & made up champion in a very short period of time.

After showing & breeding with my Staffordshire Bull Terriers together with Louis & Adele for over 10 years I decided to open my own kennel, Boldwin Staffordshire Bull Terriers and I have transferred all my Stafford's to my kennel name.

I am now campaigning my 2  juniors, Zulu (Boldwin Shaka Zulu), dog born out of  Larumo Beautie of Boldwin & Larumo Sakima Leo and Abby (Larumo Aberlour of Boldwin), bitch born out of Ch Tengeenie Savannah Dawn of Larumo & Ch Yardstick Rob Roy of Larumo.

I love my Staffordshire Bull Terriers with all my heart & I can not see my life without them.  Living, breeding & showing with Staffordshire Bull Terriers are rewarding to one’s soul!
