A last farewell to a great personality - IntCh Firebrand Kim, Magnus
Firebrand Kim, was born 12. Maj 1990 and has passed away on
11. April 2003, almost 13 years old
I have always been a great fan of this dog and worked together with his
breeder, Mrs. Ivy Nygaard, planning this litter
as his sire was of our
breeding
When naming the litter, Ivy gave me the great acknowledgement of using
my Christian name (Kim) for Magnus The incrediable
happened:
Magnus passed away on my birthday, so you can say that our
fates have been coherent
Magnus as he was nicknamed, was a cheerfull and lively considering
his reduced hearing due to old age
He lead the troops at home (2 females) with great athourity and
enjoyed his otium after an extraordinary showcarrier
had ended
He first got his Danish championship title, winning the first Danish
certificate under breed specialist Juliet
Shaw, kennel Badlesmere,
England
At the age of 6 the International Championship title was a reality and
the title of Amsterdam Winner was given by legandary
Bull Terrier
breeder and judge, Mr. Jako Baume, kennel Polytelis, Holland
The title as Belgian Top Terrier was given under breed specialist and
judge from England, Mr. Brian Foy, kennel
Foyri
Runner Up White males under the German CET (Continental European
Trophy) under breeder sand judges from England
Mrs.
Edith Mickletwaite, kennel Curraneye and USA
Mr. David O Harris, kennel Brummagem
Magnus was several years ahead of his time in type and had he been
a youngster today, he would still be able to win
at International
Championship top shows
Unfortunately, he was only used twice for stud in Denmark and both times
by me. All the winning dogs in our kennel
today descend from Magnus
(5. generation). We have bought frozen semen from him in time and of
which we will make
good use of
Magnus will be missed, mostly by his owners Jette and Ulrik Hollensberg,
but also by us, who had the great privilige
to know this great dog up close
I do not think there is one Bull Terrier exhibitor, who does not know of Magnus
Kim Bressendorff and in Danish
Et sidste farvel til en stor personlighed - INTCH
Firebrand Kim, "Magnus"
Firebrand Kim, som blev født 12. maj 1990, er gået bort i en alder af
næsten 13 år,
d.11.april 2003
Jeg har altid været en stor fan af den hund, hvor jeg i sin tid var med til
at planlægge
parringen sammen med hans opdrætter Fru Ivy Nygaard,
idet hans far var af vores opdræt
Siden hen gav Ivy mig
den store anerkendelse at opkalde ham efter
mig (Kim). Det utrolige skete; at han døde på min fødselsdag, så
vores
skæbner må siges at have en vis sammenhæng
"Magnus" - som var hans kaldenavn var kvik og livlig på trods af
aldersbetinget
nedsat hørelse
Han førte "tropperne" an derhjemme (2 tæver) med stor myndighed
og nød sit otium til fulde, efter
en bemærkelsesværdig udstillingskarriere
var i hus
Han opnåede først det danske championat, hvor 1. certifikat
blev
givet af specialdommer Juliet Shaw, Kennel Badlesmere, England
Det Internationale championat
blev en realitet i en alder af 6 år og
Amsterdam Vinder titlen kom i hus under den legendariske Bull Terrier
opdrætter
og dommer Hr. Jako Baume, Kennel Polytelis, Holland
Herudover Belgium Top Terrier under specialdommer og opdrætter fra
England Mr. Brian
Foy, Kennel Foyri
Runner Up hvide hanner under det tyske CET (Continental European
Trophy) under
de to specialdommere og opdrættere fra hhv. England
Mrs. Edith Mickletwaite, Kennel Curraneye og USA
Mr. David O Harris, Kennel Brummagem
"Magnus" var mange år forud sin tid i type, og
havde han været ung
idag, havde han stadig væk kunne vinde på de internationale top
udstillinger.
Desværre
blev han kun brugt 2 gange i Danmark i avlen, begge
gange af mig. Alle vores kennels vindende hunde i dag, nedstammer
fra "Magnus" (5. generation). Frossen sæd har vi købt fra ham i tid,
som vi nok skal vide at gøre god brug af
"Magnus"
er savnet af ikke mindst sine ejere Jette og Ulrik
Hollensberg; men også de af os, som opnåede det store
privilegium
at kende denne "store"hund på nært hold. Jeg tror næppe, at der
findes en eneste udstiller af Bull
Terrier som ikke kender "Magnus"
