• BUGENE HAS BEEN OUR REGISTERED AFFIX SINCE 1994.
• IN 1995 BOUGHT A FEMALE PUPPY CALLED LOUISA-GERONE AND AWAITED FOR ANOTHER FEMALE  PUP FROM THE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN(FRANCE)  AS WE WANTED TO BRING 2 IN AT ONCE TO QUARANTINE THE 2ND PUPPY WAS TO BE MOLLY DE L ETANG DE MIRLOUP.EVEN THOUGH THE BREED WASN,T RECOGNISED IN THE U.K AND ONLY A HANDFUL IN THE COUNTRY WE WENT AHEAD AS WE FELL IN LOVE WITH THE  DOGUE DE BORDEAUX AND HOPED IN THE FUTURE ONE DAY THE BREED WOULD BE OFFICIALLY RECOGNISED.
• WE HAD OUR FIRST LITTER FROM LOUISA IN 1997 AND MOLLY HAD HER FIRST LITTER IN 1998
• BOTH PEDIGREES FROM OUR FOUNDATION LITTERS CAN BE SEEN ON THE "DOGS WE BRED PAGE".
• WE HAVE HAD SOME QUALITY DOGUE DE BORDEAUXS BORN FROM OUR FOUNDATION DOGUES AND MOST OF THEM REACHED THEIR 8 AND 9 TH YEARS RESPECTIVELY,WE ARE VERY HAPPY ABOUT THEM BEING CONSISTENTLY SOME OF THE LONGEST LIVED LINES, AND CONSISTENTLY LOW HIPSCORES AND SHOW WINS UNDER U.K ALLROUNDERS OR OVERSEAS BREED SPECIALISTS.  
• ON BOTH FEMALES WE USED DESCENDANTS OF 1 OF THE FIRST U.K IMPORTS G' MANILITO DES SEIGNEURIE DES CHATRONS. (OLD ARNOLD)
• MOLLY'S 1ST LITTER WAS SIRED BY A BEAUTIFUL MALE CALLED CONAN LA BARBARE OUT OF 2 FRENCH IMPORTS,THIS WAS HIS FIRST AND ONLY LITTER IN THE U.K.
• WHEN THE BREED WAS EVENTUALLY RECOGNISED BY THE U.K KENNEL CLUB IT WAS CONAN'S LITTER AND  THE 2 IMPORTS THAT WAS OFFICIALLY THE FIRST  REGISTERED AND LITTER BORN IN THE UK, THEN ALL THE DESCENDANTS COULD BE REGISTERED.
• MOLLY AND CONAN'S PUPS WERE A QUALITY LITTER THAT WENT ON TO WIN BEST OF BREEDS AND BEST IN BREED CLUB SHOWS AND THE U.KS TOP WINNING BORDEAUX.
• ONE OF MOLLY'S SONS BUGENE DEVILS ADVOCATE(known to many as Bair) HAS FEATURED IN MANY DOGUE DE BORDEAUX BREED FEATURES OVER THE YEARS IN DOG MAGAZINES/PAPERS ON FRONT OF THE DOGUE DE BORDEAUX CLUB OF IRELANDS FIRST CLUB MAGAZINE and used as an example for many breed features.
• 2 of  Bugene bred pups featured on the front cover of the u.k dog mag when it was the first feature for the breed to appear for the re-introduction to the U.K  breed written by the late Harry Baxter.   
• DOGS WE HAVE BRED HAVE  REPRESENTED THE BREED AT DISCOVER DOGS AND  AT CRUFTS THE FIRST TIME A DOGUE HAD SET FOOT AT A K.C EVENT FOR 99 YEARS was another Bugene bred Dogue called Bugene French Connection(Bridget) .
• THE BOSTON AND DISTRICT SOCIETY FOR THE FIRST TIME HELD A MOLOSSER SPECIALITY SHOW JUDGED BY MRS ZENA THORN ANDREWS A SON OF OUR MOLLY DE L ETANG DE MIRLOUP CALLED BUGENE BARABAS(CANE) WON BEST OF BREED AND BEST IMPORT REGISTER WITH OVER 99 DOGS COMPETING . WAS DESCRIBED AS WORLD CLASS
• WE HAVE BRED OR OWNED BEST IN SHOWS AT THE U.K DOGUE DE BORDEAUX BREED CLUB MATCHES
•  
• WE HAVE IMPORTED A FEW OVER THE YEARS FRANCE , HOLLAND, SPAIN AND BELGUIM ALL  FROM WORLD CLASS SHOW KENNELS.
• BUGENE FLOWER GIRL AT CASCOB WAS JOINT TOP WINNING DOGUE IN 2003 AND OVERALL TOP WINNER 2004 ON THE U.K SHOW SCENE. 
• WE HAVE HAD MANY HIGHS OVER THE YEARS WINNING WITH OUR DOGUES OR SEEING OTHERS WIN WITH DOGUES WE HAVE BRED AND SOME LOWS AS TO BE EXPECTED WITH ANY BREED ,DOGUES ARE NOT EASY BREED,AND ARE A SPECIALIST BREED.
• BUT IT IS OUR TRUE LOVE AND DEDICATION TO THE DOGUE DE BORDEAUX THAT HAS KEPT US GOING FOR OVER 12 YEARS. 
• FROM IMPORTING SOME OF THE FIRST DOGUE DE BORDEAUX INTO THE COUNTRY WHEN THERE WAS ONLY A HANDFUL TO SEEING HOW FAR THE BREED HAS COME TODAY AND WILL BENEFIT FROM THEIR OWN BREED CLASSES FROM 2008 IS VERY REWARDING.
• WE HAVE KNOWN FOR MANY YEARS THAT THE U.K BREEDERS HAVE BEEN PRODUCING WORLD CLASS DOGUE DE BORDEAUX  THAT COULD COMPETE AND WIN AT ANY SHOW IN THE WORLD.
• EVEN THOUGH THE DOGUE DE BORDEAUX IN THE U.K CAN NOT EARN THE TITLE OF CHAMPION THERE IS MANY DOGUES PRODUCED IN ENGLAND THAT ARE WORTHY. 
• LOOK FORWARD TO THE DAY THIS WILL BE POSSIBLE.
