My name is Charmaine Delia of Exkas kennels located in a small island called Malta.
I have always had dogs especially the German shepherd breed.
My hobby when I was a child, was sleeping and playing with them, this was because I am without brothers and sisters.
It happened in the middle of the night when she started barking loudly, my mum opened my bedroom door and found my room all full of smoke because the fan was on fire.
My Mum carried me out because I was unconscious, I am sure if I had stayed a bit longer for sure I would be dead.
So from that time I understood that life without a dog is nothing.
Four years later I married John who is also a pet lover .
Two weeks after our wedding we went to a horse race in Gozo and we saw an advert in a pet shop with a lovely photo of a black Pug, she was for sale so we decided to go and see her.
We bought her, she had an injury in her eyes and I decided I will give her all the attention and treatment she needs. She was my first Pug and the year was 2001.
After 2 or 3 months the scratch in her eyes was gone and we decided to take her to a dog show and in her 1st competition she won 2nd puppy bitch. After her we had purchased 5 other pugs.
I am a secretary of the Malta Pug dog club.
In year 2004 my husband asked me what I wanted for my birthday, I suggested that we should go to Crufts (the largest dog show), he agreed and I was counting the days....
We went and as the icing on the cake, John took me to a top Bulldog kennel in the UK, Mystyle/Ocobo.
We had a great visit and we would like to thank Kevin, Melanie, Norman, Pat & also to Inger of Multums Bulldogs for their patience they have shown us, we had never handled or owned a bulldog before and had so many questions...
We wish to thanks Adel & Ian Dunderdale Of Jessygaff kennels for their trust in us, letting us have their boy Highwave Donald Duck whom we really felt in love with, he is a fantastic dog which produced great litters, and also did very well in the show ring during his stay here in Malta.
Last but not least. A big thanks goes to our Web-Designer Miss Ewa Larsson, who is always there for us and helps us.
Charmaine Delia.
