This year’s Bull Terrier Norčije were even more special for us at Poisson Ivy, because we got to spend the day surrounded not only by Bull Terriers, but also by some of our own Poisson Ivy dogs and their wonderful families. 🐾

And days like this always remind us what breeding is really about.

Of course, we are proud of show results, titles and achievements, but nothing compares to seeing the puppies we once raised all grown up, happy, well-mannered and so deeply loved. ❤️

Seeing how beautifully they live with their families, how much time and effort their owners put into their upbringing and socialisation, and how well they understand and accept all those very special Bull Terrier quirks means more to us than any title ever could. 😅❤️

We are incredibly proud of every single one of our dogs, but today we especially want to say thank you to their owners.

Thank you for taking such wonderful care of them.
Thank you for teaching them, guiding them and giving them the life we hoped for when they were still tiny puppies in our hands.
And most of all, thank you for loving them exactly as they are. ❤️

There is probably no better feeling for a breeder than seeing a dog you once held as a tiny puppy standing beside the family who now knows them, understands them and loves them as much as you once hoped they would.

Thank you to all our Poisson Ivy families who joined us at the Norčije. We are so proud of you and of our bullies. 🥹🐾

📸 And one little note – Oni and her family are missing from our group photo, but they were there with us too, so just imagine them standing right there beside everyone else. ❤️

These are the moments that make us stop for a second and think:

Yes. This is what truly matters. ❤️

Our puppies may leave our home,
but they will always be part of the Poisson Ivy family. 🐾❤️
