Bolshoj was our big
silver-white male who never uttered a harsh word during his life. From birth he
was a philosopher minding his own business, which was usually carrying around
silver spoons instead of eating like his brothers did. He was an unusually soft
and easy male dog.
He, like his brothers, was very big and had a lot of bone so it is not
surprising that he wasn't ready developing until his fifth birthday. At
six-seven years of age he looked his best. His owner, that is Charlotta, on the
other hand was so inexperienced and eager with shows when Bolshoj was young,
that she took him to all kinds of beauty shows much too early, at a time when he
was still growing like mad. Big dogs require a lot of time and patience, which
we learned by experiencing it. Finally when he was ready for it Charlotta took
him to Finland's biggest show "Winner of the year" in Helsinki at the end of
1997, and he came second getting his first certificate and reserve-CACIB.
Because of unfortunate circumstances he was not shown enough later in his life in order for him to get his two other certificates required for the champion-title. Never the less, he was our own champion. He has carried on his fantastic nature to his many children and grandchildren. Among them you can find international champions, show-champions and/or working- champions. He is sire to our first litter, the C-litter our E-litter and he is also sire to the A-litter at kennel Belajeva's (Helsinki, Finland).
