Before you meet my family I would like to tell you a bit about myself. 

My name is Steve Williams; I have been married to Jane for 18years.  I have 3 fantastic children of whom you will see later on.  We live in Hampshire between Southampton and Winchester, having moved here from East Sussex in 1993.  Until Arnie came along I had been a keen rugby player, playing for Winchester in London Division 1.  Each year I would tell my wife "this is my last year, I'm going to retire" I think Jane just ignored me after the 3rd or 4th year of telling her this, knowing full well when the new season came around there I would be with a new pair of boots trudging off to play the game I love.  Well that was all to change......I decided to swap the rugby boots for show lead!!!

Whatever thoughts I had of dog showing being an easy day out were blown completely out the water on our very first attempt.  Arnie, bless him, literally peed himself in the middle of the ring and I felt like doing the same.  Even now after just over a year of showing I still leave the ring feeling as though I've just gone 15 rounds with Frank Bruno, but if there was ever a good addiction this is it.

Bulldogs have been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember, but circumstances meant it was not possible for us to have one.  Then when circumstances changed, and having talked it through with the family, we began the search to find our very own bully and make a dream a reality.  That dream was fulfilled in the shape of Arnie (LaRoyal Big Brother).

 Jaminic British Classic for Bulltannia

Owning my own bulldog was never going to be enough for me and it was not long before I was convinced breeding and creating our own Bulltannia bloodline was what I wanted to do.  Mike and Jackie Gee of Jaminic Bulldogs have given us that opportunity in the shape of  Jaminic British Classic for Bulltannia (Maddie).  These are exciting times for us at Bulltannia and I believe Maddie will make a truly 1st class foundation bitch for the Bulltannia bloodline. 

Our Affix

The Kennel Club granted our affix in Jan 03.  It did not take us long to come up with the name Bulltannia.  The emblem of Britannia is easy to associate with and is a symbolic representation of Great Britain and the British Empire.  To me, and many others, the bulldog is a representation of greatness, courage, loyalty and honesty, he commands the ground he walks on, and therefore it seemed only fitting to put the two together birthing the name BULLTANNIA.
