Back in time: Club Show 1970, a piece of Bull Terrier history

On Sunday, March 1st, 1970, a special club show took place at the iconic Krasnapolsky Hotel in Amsterdam, organized by the Dutch Bull Terrier Club. Thanks to the film footage provided by Mr. Eddy van Waelderen (Skylark’s) we are able to relive this historic moment. Special thanks go to Bjorn Coussement (Skylark’s) for providing this unique recording.

The judge of the day was none other than Miss L. Graham Weall uit het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Best of Breed that day was Starhills Master Robert, owned by Mrs. Engel-Muller. Fun fact: two Miniatures were also sold that day.ur Bull Terriers shown, a rarity in those days!

The film shows, among others:Dr. Cohen, Mr. Oude Elferink, Mrs. Engel-Muller, Mr. R. Hofman, Mr. J. Bouma, Mr. N. Heitkamp with Judyandrea of Lenster, Mr. P. Trags with Court Herald of Lenster, Mr. R. de Haan with Dahrel PaintedWarriorand of course the judge Miss L. Graham Weall
