Cafe Olé (Petey), imported to Puerto Rico by Dr. Gallardo, and bred by Pascual Asensi of the Benactil Kennel in Mallorca.
Petey's father is Zagal, a son of Ben (Tito x Anastasia) and the great female Alga, who is by Dino (Tito x Bani).
Petey's mother is Ilka, a daughter of Dumbo and Chispa.
The Ca de Bou was restored from only a few foundation dogs and therefore the lines of the Ca de Bou is very "tight".
A lot of inbreeding has occurred, and still a high occurrence of inbreeding is done by many breeders. In some countries I
would go so far as to say that the situation is alarming, since these breeders still continue to do close inbreeding with
dogs that already have been close inbred. To read some of the pedigrees is pure torture for anyone that believe in bringing
new genes into a line to keep it sound.
Embat del Gor Blau and Lacky Lady des Dobs de la Loube.
These two dogs can be found in the pedigree of very many Ca de Bou's bred in eastern Europe, especially in the
Top Winning line of Osanna Kennels in Poland, the owner and importer of these two fundation dogs.
The Ca de Bou is a playful and happy breed, but still with a bulldog temperament.
The Ca de Bou is somewhat elongated build, strong and powerful. The difference between the sexes is apparent in the head,
whose circumference is definitely greater in dogs than in bitches.
The standard tells us that the Ca de Bou is quiet by nature, but he can under some circumstances be courageous and brave.
He is at ease with people, faithful and devoted to his master. As a watch and guard dog, he is unsurpassed.
In quiet situations, he is trusting and self assured. When roused, his expression is piercing.
The Ca de Bou should not be too much "bulldoggy" in appearance, and a undershot that is more than 1 cm. is considered a serious fault.
The same goes for a tail shaped like a bulldog's and the lack of rose ears.
