Interview with William What is your favourite food? Kentucky Fried Chicken!!! When I arrived on the airport in Johannesburg I felt very lonely and I was hungry and afraid after the long long travelling. My mom got me KFC! Best meal ever!! Who is your best friend? Belle (Thundaride Sophia of Minsk), most definitely! She looked after me from my first day at home, she plays with me, she loves me with her whole heart! I will do anything for her! Where is your favourite bed? Of course with Mom and Dad – I sleep between them. I love to lie tight with both of them. What is your main job, William? To look after Mom!! And also to make puppies for Mom. Do you have beautiful children? Yes, everyone says so! And Mom says my children are much more intelligent than other puppies she had. What makes you happy? When Mom laughs – especially when Dad comes home! Then she is happiest! What is your favourite snack? Droewors. And Dad always has droewors with him. So I follow him around whenever he is home! What is the best description of you? I am also called “Die Tove Hond”, and Mom always says I am a teddy bear. I think that is good!! How do you like to be touched? I like best to sit on Mom’s lap and be hugged. And I like equally to lie beside Dad on the couch because then he softly touches my ears. How do you like South Africa, William? I love the sunshine and it does not snow in winter. Our house has a lot of space to play, and it is very quiet like a farm. Would you like to say something to Tove? Of course! Tove, you were the first mom I loved and I am always delighted to hear that Mom talks to you! I hope I make you proud here in South Africa.

From the Editor After w well deserved break from the dog magazines I finally decided to take the step and re-launch the magaxine. I don’t think anyone realizes the amoiunt of work and effort that goes into producing a magazine of this nature. It remains the leading Buldog Magazine in the world and it has a huge base of supporters and breeders from literally every corner of the world. I would like to thank everyone for their support through difficult times but especially the designers who has no magazine to publish their ads. A reminder to respect everyone - there is a place in the magazine for all the designer’s work and for all breeders too. William is a fantastic Fremch Bulldog and I am happy to know William personally. Thank you to his owners Pieter and Maggie Swart for your support and friendship. Fantastic interview with William, Maggie! Its great to see the next generation of dogs coming through the ranks - If you have one of these stunning yoiung dogs coming through the ranks and would like him/her to be our covering dog, please get in contact with me. In order to keep the magazine sustainable its important that you pay the $10 per add we are asking for a publishing fee. This can be paid via Paypall. Its a minute contribution we are asking - please do not refrain from paying.
