For the last 20 years, Laima has always had dogs. Her first love was Rottweiler Candy, which Vaikule bought in Soviet times. Laima loved Candy very much, but this dog suffered a tragic fate – she had to be put to sleep after Candy bitten Laima’s relatives several times. After Kendija’s death, Laima Vaikule realized that she did not want to return to an empty house, so she learned about the big American bulldogs in Moscow, and for many years Vaikule’s pets were Jimi or Ginger and Feiria, who gave birth to 15 (!) Puppies. In time, Latvian champion Jim and Feiria were joined by Jim’s daughter Podziņa, but then also by Laura. When they went to other hunting fields one after another, French bulldog Lelle came to Vaikule’s house, then Buča, who was later joined by sister Emija, whom Laima jokingly calls Eimija Whitehouse – because Laima’s house in Jūrmala is white.

Laima Vaikule became the owner of the French Bulldog Buča more than ten years ago. The origins of the French Bulldog are associated with German and English bulldog. During the Industrial Revolution of the nineteenth century, many artisans moved to France to take their small dogs with them. In France, small English bulldogs crossed with German bulldogs, resulting in small bulldogs with a French character, which soon became known as Bouledogue Français (French Bulldog). They became the main companions of women and craftsmen in the higher society.
Dogs of this breed stand out with a very good sense of humor, so they are called clowns of the dog world. The French Bulldog is sensible, very affectionate, kind, catchy, sensitive, playful, tolerant of children, cheerful, but sometimes very boisterous. Unfortunately, Laima Vaikule Buča has now passed away and will most likely be buried in “Other Hunting Fields” – an animal cemetery where all the other singing dogs rest.
