Ralf has had a very exciting show career, having been admired by breed specialists and all rounders. He was a consistent winner from his debut as a 6 month old puppy and was not beaten in his class until he was 2 years old.
Ralf was top French Bulldog Puppy in 2005. He won BPIS at the Midland & Northern Counties French Bulldog Championship Show, and also at BUBA Group Championship show.
In 2006 Ralf gained his championship title - the same day he won his first utility group placing. Ralf also completed his Junior Warrant and Show Certificate of Merit.
2007 saw Ralf become Top French Bulldog in the UK, during that year he won a further 4 group places. With these wins he qualified to attend the Contest of Champions in April 2008, where 64 of the UK's Top Dogs compete. Ralf won through to the final round.
In May 2007 we drove onto the Continent and attended the Hollandse Bulldoggen Club Jubileum Clubmatch, where there were 405 French Bulldogs entered. Ralf was the only male entered from the UK. He was awarded second in the Male Champion class under judge Victor Raamsdonk. Ralf showed his socks off, and gained many admirers.
Ralf won 14 Challenge certificate and 10 Reserve Challenge Certificates during his career. In 2008 he attended the Midland & Northern Counties Golden Jubilee Special Champion event. He won Best Special Champion- and also voted the dog the audience would like to take home! That was special- Ralf was well liked among the breed.
Ralf has been a pleasure to campaign to all of his wins, he will always be my very special boy.
Ralf passed away 10th November 2015.
