My interest in Bull Terriers started in the early 80's.
Initially I just went to shows to watch and learn about the breed. Eventually in 1986 I ended up getting my first bully, a CH Ghabar Crusader son from Audrey and Gerald Nicholls of the Widgery affix. My second bully in 1987 was a bitch a CH Aricon Eye Spy daughter from Eric Stanley of the Aricon affix. I campaigned both these dogs and they did their fair share of winning both at open and championship level.
It was also this year 1987 that I was granted my affix GOLITHA pronounced Gol-ee-tha.
Due to work and family commitments I found I could not devote the time necessary to compete in the show ring so stopped showing. However, I still owned BT’s throughout this time.
After a break from showing of some 15 years I returned to the show scene with a coloured bitch; Conreniam Miss Behavin at Golitha,
her achievements include:
CC, BOB & Best Puppy at Blackpool 2005; Res CC Bournemouth 2005 and competed in the Sandawana Trophy 2005.
She was followed by CH Topfuel Miss Fire at Golitha, her achievements to date include:
At her first show; BIS YBTC June 2006
BB, BOS at the BTC Trophy Open Show 2007; Res CC Three Counties 2007; BOB & Group 3 Bolton Town Show 2007.
Runner Up in the Ormandy Jug for Bitches 2007, Competitor in the Regent Trophy 2007.
CC & BOB SECBTC 2008; RCC Three Counties 2008; CC South Wales Kennel Association 2008; CC East of England 2008; CC Midland Counties 2008; CC NDDBTC 2008.
Winner of The Raymond Oppenheimer Memorial Claret Jug - Bitch of the Year – 2008; Top Bitch - Bull Terrier Monthly - Bull Terrier of the Year 2008.
My latest addition from Kev & Amanda Aherne is Conreniam Crystal Clear by Golitha. At her first show she took BIS NDDBTC
Aug 2008 and since then has followed it up with CC & BOB Driffield
2009. Invited to Regent Trophy & Ormandy Jug 2009.
