My name is Dave Beioley, my wife Anne and I bought our first Bullterrier Bitch in late 1959, we have been Professional breeders of Bullterriers since the late 1960s in Melbourne under the Prefix, DABEWS, we moved to Queensland Thirty years ago, to retire, we built a couple of houses, then being thoroughly bored with life decided to attend the Easter show put on by the Bullterrier Club of Sydney to have a look at the dogs and the Miniatures in particular, Margaret Burgoine of the Bodella Kennels was very kind in allowing us to take Ch Bodella Lil Shepherdess to Queensland to start our Miniature adventure, this was about 14 years ago.

The focus of our breeding program has changed. Whilst we are still interested in Bullterriers, we now concentrate solely on Miniatures, this threw up one of the most interesting challenges, there was no breeding stock in Miniature Bullterriers with the outstanding virtues that could be found in best Bullterriers.

It is now our Thirteenth year of breeding Miniatures, the first litter of miniatures we bred were nothing to write home about, the word mediocre would describe them perfectly, I realised that we would have to work on type, make and shape and substance.

We were fortunate that the Canine Control Council of Queensland were allowing breeders to mate a Standard Bullterrier to a Miniature and register all of the pups who were Interbred as Miniatures, this helped greatly in improving breed type and also in cleaning out a lot of the health problems that were inherent in the Miniatures, the disadvantage was that all of the offspring were oversize.

The next step was to find a very well made type bullterrier to mate to a Miniature bitch, this was easier said than done, I decided that I would have to breed one myself.

A local bullterrier breeder Ray Gault had produced a very nice litter of Bullterriers and had placed a brindle bitch pup with a friend, the friend decided to part with her when his girlfriend left him, Ray asked me to have a look at her, she was beautiful, her name was Wanel Princess Petite I took her home with me, besides being an outstanding specimen she had what I consider one great breeding virtue, she was 1/4 of an inch overshot.

There was a very decent miniature dog in Redciffe that Margaret Bergoine had sold as a pet his name was Bodalla Lil Sinbad, I decide to mate him to Princess when she was old enough to mate, there were 9 pups in the litter, the one that I kept was small dark brindle and very well made with a plain head, her name was Dabews Wee Bambi.

A few months later I was a spectator at a dog show being judged by a specialist judge who was busy showing how little he knew about our breed when I spotted a beautifully made type dog, he ended up in third place, he went on to become Champion Burkin Sir Basil, as the girl showing him came out of the ring I approached her to arrange a mating with our lovely Princess, the resulting litter of 10 produced a very nice white dog pup who became Champion Dabews Lord Donahue, ( Danny).

I subsequently mated Danny to Bambi, doubling up on Princess thereby further diluting the mini bloodlines, their problems, and producing a very well made type litter, I have close bred to the previously named dogs and their offspring to produce the lovely animals that I am presently showing, some of which are above.
