We are Phil and Agnes from the Netherlands and we hope to give you a good view about who we are.

With Phil it all began at the age of 11, he had some friends who’s parents had a boarding kennel and they occasionally had a litter of puppies. This one time it was their white Bull Terrier, Bila’s turn and a litter was born. Phil frequently went  there to play with his friends.  He fell in love with the puppies in an instant, and after asking his parents he was finally allowed to pick out a puppy. 

He picked out a red bitch and named her Penny Lover de Proci (See Memory).  This was the start of his great love for the Bull Terrier breed.   After loving her for 7 years we had to relieve her of her struggle with epilepsy.

7 Years later, Phil was 25 and lived on his own.  He went to the Yoeckydoe’s Kennel in Belgium to buy a white bitch.  In November 2001, Isa came into the house and after 7 month’s she went to her first Bull Terrier show.  It was just to try, at a Club match in the Puppy class.  It went quite well, so they went on and got a good taste for showing.  After attending several shows,  mostly  with Heike (the breeder of Isa), the thoughts began to grow to have a litter with Isa.  In 2 004,  Phil and Isa flew to America, it was a great adventure and a good lesson for the future of our kennel.   The next year, Phil and Agnes met each other on a Bull Terrier walk.  Agnes was the founder of a very popular Bull Terrier site the 'Bull Terrier Lounge'.  In 1999 Agnes had her first contact with the Bull Terrier breed.  An older neighbor owned a Bull Terrier and  she was in love in an instant, even more so after listning to all the stories of her neighbo. She researched the Bull Terrier, and in January 2002 she brought Ricco home.  All her expectations of the Bull Terrier came true and it changed her life in a radical and positive way!

We are now together with our loved Bull Terriers.  After a short while we found out that we both had the wish to breed a litter with our Bull Terrier Isa.  We decided to apply for a kennel name.  The name we chose... BIGSHOT.  Why this name?   While Phil was in America, he saw pictures and a film of a stud dog called Action Big Shot.   He was so impressed with the dog, we chose to call our kennel name Bigshot.  We also think that Bull Terriers are real Bigshots.

We strive to breed beautiful Bull Terriers with good health and lovely temperaments, and we hope to share our passion for the Bull Terrier with other people. As they say: Once a Bull Terrier owner, always a Bull Terrier owner.
