I DISCOVERED THE CA DE BOU BACK IN 1999; MY LOVE OF MOLOSSER BREEDS AND THEIR HISTORY ESPECIALLY THE DOGUE DE BORDEAUX , LED ME TO THE MALLORCA MASTIFF, CA DE BOU, AS THEY WERE HIGHLY REGARDED BY DDB BREEDERS BACK IN THE BEGINNING OF THE 20 CENTURY. AT THE TIME THERE WAS LITTLE INFO.
IN 2003 WE AQUIRED OUR FIRST CDBs' , THE STOCK WAS FROM EURO AND WORLD CHAMPIONS AND NOT SPANISH CHAMPIONS, THEY WERE AWFULL, TOO UNDERSHOT OR OVERSHOT, COULDNT STAND THE HEAT, WE GAVE THEM AWAY.
I CONTINUED MY SEARCH FOR GOOD SPECIMENS AND MANAGED TO CONTACT JAVIER ESTRUCH, I WENT TO HIS KENNELS (WHICH WERE CLOSE TO WHERE MY GRANDMOTHER LIVES IN ALICANTE) WHERE I WAS LUCKY TO MEET CH.AITOR AND CH.CASTELL DE CAN ESTRUCH. I HAD SEEN REAL CA DE BOUS, JUST LIKE IN THE OLD PHOTOS, SO MUCH MORE IMPRESSIVE THAN THE ONES I HAD SEEN IN NORTHERN EUROPE.
ON MY RETURN I MADE CONTACT WITH A PUERTO RICAN OTTO BRITO, BOTH OUR LOVES FOR HISTORY OF PERRO DE PRESAS, ALANOS MADE US CLOSE FRIENDS. HE HELPED FILL THE GAPS.
WE AQUIRED A PUP OF ESTRUCH, ELDA SHE IS THE DAUGHTER OF BILMA ROMPEHUSOS AND NUFI A VERY OLD IMPRESSIVE CDB. FROM THAT MOMENT WE SOUGHT TO PROMOTE THE TRUE HISTORICAL CA DE BOU.
IN MAY 2004 WE ATTENDED A SEMINAR IN MAJORCA ON THE CA DE BOU ASWELL AS ATTENDED THE MONOGRAPHIA AND HAVE BEEN EVERY YEAR SINCE.
WE ARE MEMBERS AND ACTIVE DELEGUE OF THE CLUB ESPANOL DEL CA DE BOU.
WE LIVE BETWEEN CATALUNIA, SPAIN AND THE UK. HAVING LITTERS IN BOTH COUNTRIES.
