The Kennel Bench

One kennel's drafts, measured against the standard.

What The Kennel Bench is

The Kennel Bench is an independent reading of the public record of Soul Guardian Bulldogs, a Greek bulldog kennel whose website ran from about 2010 to 2013.

The Kennel Bench is a workbench, not a kennel. Between roughly 2010 and 2013 this domain carried the website of Soul Guardian Bulldogs, a bulldog kennel in Greece run by two breeders who signed their pages Sissy and Jarek. Its pages named the dogs, published pedigrees, announced litters, recorded shows, kept a guestbook, and mourned the animals it lost.

What a sheet is

Each entry here takes one part of that record and pins it like a draft on a bench: a named dog measured against the breed standard it was shown under, a litter treated as work in progress, a show result filed with its date. The sheets are ordered by when they would have mattered to the kennel, not by importance.

What the record shows and does not

The public capture record kept the site's dog pages, its pedigrees, its litter announcements, its show reports, its gallery, its pets page and its guestbook machinery. It did not keep the kennel's contracts, its buyers, or what became of the dogs after 2013. Where the record is silent, the sheet says so.

What this site is not

This is not the kennel's website and not a breeder's listing. Nothing here is a puppy for sale, a stud available, or a current address. Names and dates are quoted as historical record; the photographs on this bench are illustrations, not the kennel's own pictures.

The rule that governs

A kennel measured its dogs against a written standard; this bench measures the record itself, sheet by sheet.
