Dr. Bozhidar Velikoff

Born in 1970 I graduated Veterinary Medicine and work and live in Varna. I first fell in love with the breed and had my first boxer and litter in 1991. Then in 1999 I participated in establishing the Bulgarian Boxer Club and have presided over it since then. In 2004 the FCI “from Black Sea kennel” was registered. I have been a FCI boxer and Boston terrier judge since 2006 and judged shows both in the country and abroad. Meanwhile I take an active part in Varna Kennel Society Board and the Bulgarian National Kennel Society. As their member I am also involved in encouraging and promoting breeding and use of purebred dogs writing articles for specialized magazines and contributing in other media.
