Dempsey

First topic message reminder :

This is my new boy...............Dempsey aka Frachadem Thrilla in Manila!

Aw that's fantastic! Go on, enter, we'll all keep our fingers crossed for you and Dempsey

They have annual trophies, like best coloured dog or bitch, best mover, best white etc. Every year they choose a certain amount of dogs to compete for them. I don't know what the criteria are (is?) but they've invited Dempsey. He'll be eligible to compete for best coloured dog, best mover, best under-two-year-old. Don't know the others, but there may be some.

He won't win anything, but it's just nice to be invited.

He's gorgeousCaryll, I think he'd stand a good chance of winning something. I don't know much about ebt's, but from what I've read and seen of them, he looks like a very good example of the breed.

Wow what a good boy for not getting cranky with the GSD and listening to his mummy.. that must be stressful for you walking with the potential Despsey has.
How old was he when you got him? he looks big in the photos.
will you compete in the event?.. will be a challenge for Demps and the other dogs lol

He was 7 weeks old when we got him & I could lift him with one hand! I can't lift him at all, now! He's 21" to the shoulder, about 26 kilos & has a 32" chest. He's a little heavy for my liking, but until I stop showing him, I'll keep a little weight on him - they like it in the show ring. Adter the show in February (I probably will enter) I'll probably retire him from the show ring. He isn't good enough to win at the big shows & he was never bought for that anyway.

Here's a pic in the East Anglian Bull Terrier Club News bulletin of him winning his class last summer...........



The judge was Mr David Hall of Cwmdulais Bull Terriers (Wales), a well-known & respected judge. His opinion of Dempsey was as follows:
"Good sized red & white. Strong head, gentle profile, mouth correct, straight front, good topline & quarters. Moved close behind"

Go Dempsey! I'd be so proud if Logan did any of those things!! =D>

Dempsey is now 22" tall & weighs 31 kilos (nearly 5 stone!). Now I'm not showing him any more I'm going to get a bit of weight off him (he isn't fat by any means, but I'd like to see him a bit fitter!) and get him down to about 29 or 30 kilos. I doubt he'll grow any more now, he's 2 years old in April.

Blue is now 23Kgs. He doesn't understand when he is led on me for cuddles my feet and legs turn blue

lol! Dempsey climbs up my oh & drapes himself around his shoulders! Then he starts to try and eat his ears!

Dempsey would love me. I have hours of fun on the sides of my head

wow he looks so solid in those last few pics. what a poser !

He's getting really heavy now. He's been on a diet for about 2 weeks as I felt he needed to lose a couple of kilos. I thought he was starting to look quite slim so I weighed him - he's still 30 kilos!

The real problem I have now with his general body shape is his belly. He has a nice waist now & I can feel his ribs etc, but I just can't get rid of his belly! I've tried long walks, chasing his boomer ball, running up & down hills. Nothing works. I suppose he's just always going to have a beer belly.

I wonder if it has anything to do with the stomach operation he had?

Hmmm, me too! I could porobably make a fortune if I can come up with something cheap & easy to use!

well whatever it is.. he is a great spunky hunk of dog !

He is absolutly gorgoeus he's so stocky and looks really fit and healthy. He got a gorgeous expression as well.

He looks great

LOL! He looks like such a character. I wanted a BT really bad before i got Oliver but couldnt find one. Now I have Oli and Lola and spent my life savings to get them... I wonder if a BT would be too much to throw in the mix. 2 apbts and a bt

What a glutton for punishment!

I don't know what prices are like there, but here a pedigree BT pup from health tested parents will set you back £900!

£900 is like 200,000 dollars I think.
Oli and Lola cost me 4000 dollars for the both. I don't think i can afford another right now but I would love to have one. Maybe in 15 years.

Start saving!

Dempsey Is BEAUTIFUL =D
